The rumors surrounding New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will come to an end. In what could be the biggest storyline of the 2019 offseason, the 26-year-old is headed to the Cleveland Browns, not the San Francisco 49ers, via a trade, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.


The Giants will receive the Browns' No. 17 overall pick in this year's draft, the team's second third-round pick (No. 95 overall), and safety Jabrill Peppers in exchange for one of the NFL's best receivers, Garafolo revealed on-air.

The 49ers had long been linked to Beckham. The team was believed to love the receiver but reportedly never really got into deep discussions for the receiver. San Francisco owns the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming draft as well as No. 36, and No. 67, so the team had the resources to get a deal with the Giants done.

While rumors surrounding a Beckham trade have circulated since the end of this past season, most within the New York media never truly believed Giants general manager Dave Gettleman would go through with it.

"We didn't sign Odell to trade him," Gettleman said in Indianapolis at the NFL Scouting Combine. "I know that's all over the place, so understand that. That's all I need to say about that."

Beckham signed a five-year extension worth up to $95 million with the Giants on August 27, 2018. He registered 77 receptions for 1,052 yards with six touchdowns through 12 starts with the Giants in 2018. Beckham was inactive for New York's final four games of the season due to a quad injury.

The Giants made Beckham, who played college football at LSU, the No. 12 overall selection in 2014. He has caught 390 passes for 5,476 yards with 44 touchdowns through his five NFL seasons.

Beckham is a three-time Pro Bowl selection. He finished four of his five NFL seasons with 1,000-or-more receiving yards. The one exception was in 2017 when Beckham's missed most of the season with a fractured left ankle.

The San Francisco 49ers have been actively exploring options at safety this offseason, both in free agency and during their draft evaluations. A recent report from the San Francisco Chronicle indicated that All-Pro safety Talanoa Hufanga's starting position is not guaranteed for the upcoming season as he recovers from a torn ACL sustained on November 19, 2023. During a media session at the NFL owners meetings on Monday, general manager John Lynch shared an update on Hufanga's progress, noting that offseason roster additions could still occur.

Ex-NFL WR advocates for 49ers to trade Brandon Aiyuk: "Let that man be free"

By David Bonilla

Brandon Aiyuk recently hinted that he might consider playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers if the San Francisco 49ers are unwilling to offer him a contract extension at market value and opt to trade him to the AFC team. Of course, that could be a negotiating tactic from Aiyuk's camp as the 49ers work to sign the receiver to a contract extension. That doesn't mean San Francisco isn't willing to talk to interested teams. The team reportedly sought the No. 17 overall pick and a player from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for Aiyuk, but no deal materialized. 49ers insider Matt Barrows of
