The Browns restructured his deal the rumor goes and are eating most the contract in signing bonus versus leaving his salary high to try and prompt a non contender to pick him up. The reality is he wouldn't get a ton of targets here, however he does have a relationship to Burrow from the ties to LSU and it could be a way to get his value back up for a trade next year. In reality if he can regain form with this new cheaper contract he could be an appreciating asset the Bengals could flip for a pick in the offseason.
Odell asked for a trade at some point last season.
In my research the reason why the Browns are releasing Beckham is because of their "moneyball"
Approach.
Analytically, the WR position in Cleveland is not one
The Browns will invest alot of money in.
Look.at their recent draft picks, Jones and Schwartz.
Very unexpensive salaries.
The reason why the Browns run alot of 2 TE sets
Cause TEs are cheaper than WRs to pay.
Even Baker Mayfield wont get the money his agent is
Asking for. The Browns want a game manager at QB
Not a gunslinger with a high dollar.
