The Seattle Seahawks are losing the Odell Beckham Jr. sweepstakes to an NFC West rival.
According to a report by Adam Schefter at ESPN, Beckham is finalizing a deal with the Los Angeles Rams.

The Rams just added three-time All Pro pass rusher Von Miller in a trade with the Denver Broncos last week, so this move to get Beckham is another double-down on their all-in approach for this season. LA is currently 7-2, second in the division behind the Arizona Cardinals. Beckham joins what was already a loaded recever corps that includes Cooper Kupp, who leads the NFL in catches (74), yards (1,019) and touchdowns (10).
The Seahawks visit the Rams the week before Christmas.
Update:
The deal is now official. The Rams have announced the OBJ signing.
OBJ in LA has a nice ring to it. 😎

What a stunning turn of events.
Asked for comment, Russell Wilson (who personally helped in the recruiting effort) offered a “good for him.”
Just told Russ that OBJ is signing with the Rams.
"Good for him. He'll do great. Wish him the best."
