CLEVELAND, Ohio (92.3 The Fan) – The Browns officially waived Odell Beckham Jr. bringing to close nearly a week of drama and ending the receiver's time in Cleveland.
Should Beckham go unclaimed, he will become a free agent Tuesday at 4 p.m. eastern.
Browns executive vice president of football operations and general manager Andrew Berry negotiated Beckham's exit with his agents this past week.
Should Beckham be claimed, the team that is awarded him would be responsible for $7.25 million in salary for the remainder of the season.
If he goes unclaimed, the Browns will be on the hook for $4.25 million of his salary, saving the Browns $3 million, following a contract negotiation that also removed the final non-guaranteed two years of his deal.
NFL Network and the Associated Press reported the financial terms of the agreement worked out between the Browns and Beckham's agents on Saturday.
Sunday in Cincinnati the Browns put the Beckham situation behind them and rolled to a 41-16 win over the Bengals to improve to 5-4 on the season.
