The Browns Signing Robby Anderson and Trading Odell Beckham Jr. Could Be a Sneaky Genius Plan

The Cleveland Browns' grand plan for AFC North domination, which hinged around the excellent play of former New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., has already fallen apart after a 6-10 season saw head coach Freddie Kitchens get fired.

After just one year in Cleveland, Beckham already seems to trying to negotiate a way out of town, and deciding on keeping him around could be a major dilemma for Kevin Stefanski and company.

Beckham had the worst healthy season of his career, managing to haul in just four touchdowns all season long in Cleveland. Given how Beckham was clearly frustrated with any combination of Baker Mayfield, Freddie Kitchens, or the organization as a whole, it might be best for the Browns to turn the page on him and get maximum value in return.

Jarvis Landry has proven that he can be a fine low-end No. 1 receiver in this league, but trading Odell would still create a void out wide. If the Browns have the money, New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson would be an ideal addition. He's got the speed to go downfield, reliable hands, and the ability to make something happen after the catch.

He's not Odell, but he has a similar play style and will cost a lot less, which is a trade Andrew Berry might be able to make.

The Browns have the chance to free themselves from the permanent storm of attention Odell brings while coming close to replicating his production at wide receiver. Berry just needs to have the guts to pull off this trade and signing.
