| The key word in this is “plan,” because plans can always change. As Thursday night comes to a conclusion, however, we’re told that the Browns currently plan to release receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Friday. The move is expected to be accompanied by a revised contract that reduces the team’s obligation to pay Beckham, if he’s not claimed on waivers and becomes eligible for the balance of his salary termination pay. The challenge for Beckham becomes not making the reduced salary so low that someone claims the contract on waivers. (Pro Football Talk - Mike Florio)
FFToday's Take: The Browns and Saints reportedly had talks before the trade deadline. New Orleans makes a ton of sense for multiple reasons, including but not limited to the fact the Saints need a true No. 1 receiver with Michael Thomas now out for the season. Never mind the fact Beckham played his college back in Louisiana (LSU). Other potential suitors include the Patriots and Chiefs.
