2. Un-tradeable

With the NFL trade deadline Nov. 3, the Cleveland Browns are no strangers to trade chatter, especially with Odell Beckham on the roster.

In the latest run of rumors, the Patriots, 49ers and Saints had inquired about a Beckham trade before he suffered the injury, according to WEEI’s Mark Dondero.

Beckham’s been a magnet for rumors seemingly ever since the Browns acquired in a trade with the Giants. When things were going off the rails last season under Kitchens, lining up trade destination for Beckham seemed like a weekly endeavor for NFL pundits.

Now, Beckham isn’t going anywhere in 2020, or 2021. Beckham, who will be 28 in early November, has an injury guarantee of $12.79 million. Considering he might not see the field for the first half of the season, the Browns aren’t going to find a lot of takers for his contract.

Beckham is under contract through the 2023 season.
