Odell Beckham Jr and Sr got their wish as the wide receiver was released by the Cleveland Browns and is free to sign with any club in the NFL come Tuesday at 4pm. Word is, as expected, OBJ wants to sign with a contender and a few teams have become favorites to land his services.
Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks are OBJ's apparent #1 choice and word is quarterback Russell Wilson is pushing management hard to sign the star wide out. This would certainly give the birds another weapon on offense and could potentially push them over the hump when it comes to pretenders or contenders.

San Francisco 49ers: Sounds like the divisional rivals could be in a bidding war but the Seahawks certainly hold a huge advantage over the 3-5 49ers. Perhaps San Fran would be seen as a longer term option say this upcoming offseason, but if Beckham wants to win a ring this season, it's not going to happen in San Francisco.
Baltimore Ravens: If it was as easy as showing up at the front door for work, Beckham would probably be at Ravens practice tomorrow morning. He and Lamar Jackson have become close friends and the two have discussed playing together in the past. While the Ravens have been hit with injuries, the team is still a contender and could be the eventual winners of the OBJ sweepstakes.
