Rumors Suggest Vikings and Browns Are Discussing a Blockbuster Odell Beckham Jr. Trade

We've heard the Odell Beckham Jr. trade rumors over and over again, but none of it matters until we see something materialize. Nonetheless, it's still entertaining to discuss possible landing spots for the generational talent, if the Cleveland Browns are actually looking to deal him.

According to the latest NFL rumors from WFAN's Marc Malusis, the Minnesota Vikings are discussing an OBJ deal with the Browns, which could see Cleveland receive a second- and fifth-round pick.

Malusis apparently said this on the air, and then retweeted the rumor and reiterated it himself shortly thereafter.

These two link up perfectly as trade partners, considering the Vikings need a No. 1 wideout after trading Stefon Diggs to the Buffalo Bills. They now have the draft capital to make such a move, but their cap space is an issue. Minnesota has a little over $12 million remaining and Beckham Jr. has a $14.5 million cap hit in 2020. Perhaps the Vikings instead unload Anthony Harris and his $11.4 million salary with a draft pick to make this happen? After all, the Browns were reportedly interested in acquiring Harris in a trade earlier this offseason.

All in all, this is not farfetched whatsoever. Beckham very much did not fit in with the Browns during his first year with the team, and continued to cause a bit of a stir off the field. Meanwhile, Cleveland has upgraded all over this offseason, and have seemingly prepared themselves for this potential scenario.

As for the NFC North, the Packers, Bears and Lions should be incredibly worried.
