Vegas Odds: Raiders Favored to Land Odell Beckham Jr. in Free Agency
After Odell Beckham Jr.'s departure from the Cleveland Browns, various NFL teams have emerged as potential landing spots. Here are the current betting odds and analysis for his next team:
Top Contenders:
- Las Vegas Raiders (+300): Ideal fit to fill Henry Ruggs III's void, offering a major market and strong offensive supporting cast
- New Orleans Saints (+350): Showed interest at trade deadline; hometown appeal with LSU connections
- Baltimore Ravens (+400)
- New England Patriots (+500)
- Los Angeles Rams (+600): Could join high-powered offense with Kupp and Woods, filling DeSean Jackson's role
- Buffalo Bills (+700)
- Indianapolis Colts (+800)
- San Francisco 49ers (+900): Previous interest when Beckham told Garoppolo to "come get me"
- Green Bay Packers (+1000): Potential lethal combination with Rodgers and Adams
- Tennessee Titans (+1200)
Impact on Cleveland: The Browns have leveraged the cap space from Beckham's release to secure their offensive line, signing both Wyatt Teller and Joel Bitonio to extensions. This strategic move strengthens their foundation for future playoff runs. Cleveland (5-4) moves forward with a crucial upcoming game against New England.
The betting odds suggest the Raiders and Saints are frontrunners, with the Raiders offering the best combination of market size, offensive fit, and immediate need.
