Before he signed with the Los Angeles Rams, Odell Beckham had discussions about joining two other teams.

Beckham was cut by the Cleveland Browns on November 5.

Several teams reached out to the wide receiver once he hit the open market. The New Orleans Saints were one of the first.

"I was close, very close," Beckham said of signing in New Orleans. "It just didn't feel like the right time. Right place, wrong time."

After turning down the Saints, he also talked with the New England Patriots.

"I don't think I joked with him on the phone," Beckham said of speaking with Bill Belichick. "But I was like, if this was three years ago, it would have been ideal. Because Tom [Brady] is one of the -- he's one of my favorites."
