Odell Beckham Jr. receives a message from ex-Browns teammate Jarvis Landry whereas signing Rams
Odell Beckham Jr.’s decision to sign with the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday sparked a message from his former Cleveland Browns teammate Jarvis Landry.
Not only did the two spend a handful of seasons together with the Browns before Beckham asked for his release, but the two played together at LSU before they both turned pros. Of course, Landry had to send a suicide note to his longtime friend on his social media for now.

“Mind your business. Meet at the (Super Bowl) brudda,” Landry wrote on his Instagram Stories.
It’s possible the Browns and Rams will clash in the Super Bowl this year, but it would be a big task.
Cleveland goes third in the AFC North in Week 10 with a record of 5-4. They are one of eight teams to win five in the conference and have a tough schedule with other potential playoff teams on their list. Cleveland has to win a lot of the games to have a chance in the postseason.
Beckham signed a one-year contract with the Rams. After being sacked by the Browns last Friday, Beckham was undrawn Tuesday and went through a waiver on Tuesday that allowed him to sign with a team of his choice.

Initial reports said Beckham’s top three targets were the Seattle Seahawks, the San Francisco 49ers, or the New Orleans Saints. After it was unclaimed, other reports surfaced that the Green Bay Packers were Beckham’s top travel destination. The Rams weren’t even mentioned as a potential team the superstar Wideout was interested in until Thursday.
In just over two seasons with the Browns, Beckham played 29 games, recording 114 catches for 1,586 yards and seven touchdowns. In the last two seasons he only played 13 games due to injury.
Beckham has suffered a shoulder injury this season. He was most attacked on the offensive but only had 17 catches for 232 yards to show.

Now Beckham will join a broad core of recipient that includes Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods and will be on the receiving end of passes from quarterback Matthew Stafford. The Rams were already one of the most prolific offenses in football, but they felt the need to acquire another weapon.
It’s uncertain whether Beckham will be eligible for the Rams when they face the 49ers in San Francisco on Monday night.
