Odell Beckham, Jr. is out of the NFC East! The New York Giants have reportedly traded OBJ to the Cleveland Browns for safety Jabrill Peppers and a 1st and 3rd round pick.
The OBJ trade rumors have been coming out of New York since last season. The Giants gave Beckham a 5 year, $90 million contract extension last August.
So to repeat: Browns get Odell Beckham Jr. and Giants get a first-round pick, third-round pick and S Jabril Peppers, source tells ESPN. There's the trade.

Trading Odell Beckham signifies a true rebuild for the Giants. It also raises questions why didn’t they do it before they signed him to a record contract 7 months ago. Now they incur another $16M in dead money and paid him $21.5M for 12 games. Last year was ideal time to rebuild

As of now, Odell Beckham Jr. and Olivier Vernon are scheduled to count $32.5 million against the #Browns' salary cap in 2019, and $24 million against the #Giants' salary cap.
