Beckham (shoulder) went unclaimed off waivers Tuesday and is now a free agent, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Cleveland officially waived Beckham on Monday, allowing any of the league's other 31 teams to take on the $7.25 million remaining on his contract for this season. That exorbitant price for an injury-prone receiver who has seen his productivity decline in recent years was apparently too steep, but Beckham should command plenty of interest around the league now that he's eligible to sign at a more team-friendly rate. Jordan Schultz of ESPN reported earlier Tuesday that the Packers were Beckham's preferred destination if he became a free agent, but it's unclear if Green Bay's interest is mutual.
