Browns general manager Andrew Berry announced Friday that the team is finalizing the process of waiving Beckham (shoulder). "It's in the best interest of all parties involved that Odell no longer play for the Cleveland Browns," Berry said.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Beckham and the team were able to agree on a reworked contract, which should make him more likely to be claimed off waivers. The wideout, who turns 29 years old Friday, isn't in line to play Week 9 since waiver claims won't be processed until Monday, but he would be available for Week 10 next week. Beckham has struggled to connect with quarterback Baker Mayfield over the past two seasons with only 40 catches for 551 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games, and his outlook for the rest of 2021 will depend on where he lands.
