Odell Beckham Jr. Trade Rumors: Jets 'Ideal Landing Spot' If Browns Move Star WR

Superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. reportedly views the New York Jets as an "ideal landing spot" if he's traded by the Cleveland Browns during the 2020 NFL offseason.

Kristian Dyer of Sports Illustrated reported Wednesday a source said OBJ would "welcome a return to New York" after spending the first five years of his career with the New York Giants, who dealt him to the Browns last March.

Beckham "isn't actively seeking a move from Cleveland" despite the trade rumors, per Dyer.

The 27-year-old LSU product was expected to serve as the final piece of the puzzle for a Browns offense that showed ample promise late in the 2018 season. Instead, the unit failed to take a significant step forward in 2019 as second-year quarterback Baker Mayfield struggled as part of a disappointing 6-10 campaign.

Beckham recorded 74 catches for 1,035 yards and four touchdowns while playing all 16 games. It marked the fifth time in six NFL seasons he reached the 1,000-yard plateau.

In December, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported the three-time Pro Bowl selection had told opposing players and coaches to "come get me" throughout the season:

Beckham, who's under contract through 2023 as part of a five-year, $90 million deal, was quick to shoot down speculation about a potential desire to change teams again.

"I'm not going anywhere," he told reporters. "I'll be here. We'll figure this thing out. It's just too special to leave. It's done. Just put it to bed. I'm going to be here. There's nothing more to talk about."

Meanwhile, the Jets make sense on paper as a team who could target a high-end wideout in the offseason.

Robby Anderson and Demaryius Thomas, two of the team's top three receivers during the 2019 season, are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents. Jamison Crowder, who led New York with 833 receiving yards, is not a true No. 1 option on the level of Beckham.

The Jets also have $56.3 million in projected cap space, per Spotrac. It gives them the financial flexibility to make a blockbuster move.

New York would likely have competition for Beckham if Cleveland did put him on the trade block.
