Odell Beckham Jr. reportedly eyeing Packers, Chiefs, Saints; interest from teams unclear

First-time free agent Odell Beckham Jr. is considering the Kansas City Chiefs, New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers as his top picks for a new home, ESPN reported early Wednesday.

The 29-year-old wideout was officially released from the Cleveland Browns last Friday and cleared waivers earlier this week.

Multiple teams have been linked to Beckham over the last few days, including the Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots. According to ESPN, Beckham settled on his top three picks because he wants to play for a playoff contender in "a winning environment."

Despite Beckham's résumé as an accomplished wideout, no team has necessarily rushed to sign him yet. He wasn't claimed off waivers earlier this week, which has led to him becoming a free agent for the first time in his professional career. While a team in need of a downfield presence might be interested in bringing him on board, it's fair to wonder if his recent antics haven't made him a less-than-appealing addition.

Beckham is fresh off of a messy exit from his last team, in which on-field chemistry issues with Baker Mayfield and off-field social media posts by his father ultimately led the Browns to excuse him from practice and later release him.

Beckham has just 17 catches for 232 yards with no touchdowns through six games this season, all played for Cleveland.
