Less than a week after he was waived by the Cleveland Browns,Ā Ā Odell Beckham Jr.Ā is joining the Los Angeles Rams. He now joins a powerhouse team that just recently acquired Von Miller to add to their cabal of stars. In other words, itā€™s officially Super Bowl or bust for this Rams squad.Ā 

And it is, as expected, a one-year deal between Odell Beckham Jr. and the Rams, per source.

ESPNā€™s Adam Schefter was first to tweet about Beckhamā€™s new team, citing sources close to the franchise. Around the same time, however, NFL Networkā€™s Kim Jones said she was personally told by Beckham Jr. that he was ā€œon the fence between Rams & Packers.ā€

To make matters even more confusing, the Athletic reporter Jourdan Rodrigue pointed out the official Rams website posted an announcement of his signing. Only a few minutes later, the announcement was nowhere to be found.

Alright so just a check-in here. Two sources said that deal with WR Odell Beckham Jr was finalized with Rams, and it had come down between the Rams and Packers.

Even LeBron James congratulated him on the signing. ā€œWelcome to LA my brother @obj!ā€ he wrote. ā€œItā€™s GO TIME!!ā€

The details of the deal havenā€™t been made public just yet, but as Schefter, Beckham Jr. signed a one-year deal with the team.
