Here's What a Browns-Vikings Trade for Odell Beckham Jr. Would Probably Look Like

Rumors from earlier on Wednesday suggesting Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. could be traded to the Minnesota Vikings for a second- and fifth-round pick have been squashed by Browns reporter Mary Kay Cabot, but that doesn't mean the idea of Beckham changing hands this offseason has totally been defused just yet.

The Vikings picked up a boatload of picks from the Buffalo Bills in exchange for Stefon Diggs, and Rick Spielman could send some of those picks Cleveland's way in exchange for Odell and his $90 million contract.

Minnesota will need to dump someone in order to take on Odell's contract, and the ideal player to flip to Cleveland would be safety Anthony Harris, who has come up in trade rumors this offseason after he was hit with the franchise tag. The Browns were also interested in him just a few weeks back.

Harris would give Cleveland a new starting safety -- and an elite one at that, because, let's face it, Karl Joseph and Andrew Sendejo aren't the answer -- but the Browns would still look to get some draft pick compensation. Trading one of their third-round picks as well as a fifth-round pick could solve Cleveland's secondary issue while giving them more ammo to load up on wide receivers in a deep class.

Minnesota, on the other hand, gets to put one of the most electric players in the game opposite Adam Thielen in Gary Kubiak's offense.

Beckham is not going to come cheap, even after a down year, which is why this will take a Pro Bowl-caliber player as well as some draft picks.
