Beckham also reportedly wants to go to a playoff contender and be in a winning environment, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Although Seattle sits at just 3–5 and is third in the NFC West, they'll be getting back star quarterback Russell Wilson from a finger injury this week. Wilson missed a month of action with the injury. 

Beckham played the first five years of his career with the Giants before being traded to the Browns in 2019. He has never been a free agent in his entire career. 

Beckham has 17 catches for 232 yards and no touchdowns in his six games played this season.
