1. San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers have been tied to Odell Beckham in the past, and nothing’s changed. The need for Beckham is probably greater, considering Deebo Samuel is on the IR (aiming for a Week 4 return).

Even without OBJ, the 49ers are one of the few contenders who actually have a shot to win the Super Bowl. Acquiring him would, assumably, make San Fran the front runners.

It would be interesting to see what kind of chemistry Beckham would have with Jimmy Garoppolo. Jimmy G is a really good quarterback, but even he misses the big throw, evidenced by last year’s Super Bowl.

How long until OBJ starts side-eying him like he does Baker Mayfield?

Of course, this deal would probably work out for Beckham, Jimmy G and the 49ers, as the Browns would probably wind up being the losers.

Imagine it, the coach who presented a Power Point presentation on why he should be left go (Kyle Shanahan) gets Beckham and the wideout returns to the elite status he enjoyed in New York.
