It appears that if things were to go his way, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will soon suit up alongside Davante Adams and the rest of the Green Bay Packers offense.

Beckham Jr. was released by the Cleveland Browns last week and officially hit waivers on Monday. Multiple teams — including the Detroit Lions and New York Giants — have already passed on the three-time Pro Bowl wideout, and it's been speculated that "OBJ" will clear waivers later on Tuesday and become a free agent.

Beckham Jr. put together a mostly stellar five-year career with the New York Giants, which included an AP Offensive Rookie of the Year Award in 2014 and Pro Bowl nods in each of his first three seasons. In 59 career regular-season games with the G-Men, the star wide receiver had 390 receptions for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns.

The 29-year-old was traded to the Browns on March 13, 2019, for Jabril Peppers, as well as 2019 first- and third-round picks. Beckham Jr. ended his Cleveland career with 114 receptions, 1,586 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 29 games.

Packers starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers' status for the team's Week 10 game against the Seattle Seahawks is currently up in the air, as No. 12 is currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The Packers and Seahawks are scheduled to kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.
