Odell Beckham Jr trade: Wide receiver heading to Cleveland Browns as part of New York Giants deal

The Cleveland Browns have reportedly landed Odell Beckham Jr as part of a huge trade deal with the New York Giants.

In return, the Giants are set to receive a first-round pick in the 2019 draft (number 17 overall), a 2019 third round pick and safety Jabrill Peppers.

The trade is expected to become official on Wednesday.

The move will reunite Beckham with former LSU team-mate and fellow wide receiver Jarvis Landry.

Beckham is the NFL's highest-paid receiver signing a five-year, $90 million extension just last August.

He has been persistently linked with a move elsewhere despite Giants general manager Dave Gettleman claiming as recently as last month the 26-year-old is going nowhere.

Another major move expected to be confirmed will see Le’Veon Bell join the New York Jets.

The running back, a free agent following his departure from the Pittsburgh Steelers, has reportedly agreed a four-year deal worth $52.5million to head to the east coast.
