San Francisco's general manager John Lynch did not exactly say no on KNBR when asked about possibly claiming Odell Beckham Jr. from the waivers or as a free agent.
“What I can assure you is we’re always trying to make ourselves better and if we have an opportunity to do so, we will. I’ll leave it at that for strategic reasons,” Lynch said, per the San Jose Mercury News's Cam Inman.
The wide receiver's representation and the Browns reached an agreement for the star's release on Thursday after a tumultuous week. Cleveland was looking to lower Beckham's base salary down to the minimum and convert the rest to a signing bonus to lower his cap number to try and save money in the process, per The MMQB's Albert Breer.
