(Thousand Oaks) Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. signed a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday, picking a team that aspires to top honors.
The Browns released Beckham on Monday, in the midst of his third season with the Cleveland squad. He was not claimed on waivers, although neither team wanted to recover the US $ 7.25 million from their last contract.
After considering his options, Beckham chose to join quarterback Matthew Stafford, who leads the NFL in passing yards, and head coach Sean McVay, who leads one of the best aerial attacks in the league. .
Beckham will play alongside Cooper Kupp, the NFL point guard for receiving yards, and starters Robert Woods and Van Jefferson.
Beckham is the second NFL star player to join the Rams in the past two weeks. The California team acquired the services of linebacker Von Miller of the Denver Broncos in return for two strong draft picks.
Miller spoke on the phone with Beckham moments after the receiver’s deal was announced.
The Rams were looking to get Beckham’s services back in 2018, when he was traded to the Browns. McVay has touted Beckham’s talents over the years.
