The Green Bay Packers were one of the final two teams considered by Odell Beckham Jr. but they didn't offer a lucrative enough contract.

The Packers only offered the veterans minimum plus incentives. The Packers were asked to increase their offer to Beckham on multiple occasions, but declined. Beckham instead picked the Los Angeles Rams. 

"He wasn't going to take the same, or less money, to go to Green Bay [over Los Angeles]," one source familiar with the contract talks told ESPN.

The San Francisco 49ers are open to keeping Jimmy Garoppolo in 2022 despite the presence of Trey Lance. 

Garoppolo is under contract for 2022 at $27 million but his salary is not guaranteed. 

“There’s a chance for anything, but I think we’ve made it pretty clear that Trey is our guy of the future, whenever that will happen,” Kyle Shanahan said. “But it’s also nothing against Jimmy that we took him, but we do think Trey is our guy of the future. Like I’ve said, I think it’ll be really hard, if Jimmy is on it, for him to beat him out right away. So it’s kind of going like that right now, and we’re not thinking much past that.”

The Tennessee Titans waived Adrian Peterson after three games with the team.

Peterson was signed as a replacement for Derrick Henry. 

Peterson split carries with D'Onta Foreman, Jeremy McNichols and Dontrell Hilliard. Peterson carried the ball 27 times for 82 yards and one touchdown in three games this season.

Taysom Hill and the New Orleans Saints have agreed to a contract extension that will pay him $40 million over the next four seasons if he remains in his current role. 

The deal would be worth up to $95 million if Hill becomes the starting quarterback over the next four years. 

The deal includes $22.5 million in guarantees.

The Saints had some salary-cap incentive to get an extension done with Hill before his contract voided next spring.

The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms on a contract extension with Dallas Goedert.

The tight end received a four-year deal worth as much as $59 million, according to a source.

Goedert gets $35.7 million in guarantees.

The Eagles traded Zach Ertz to the Arizona Cardinals last month, clearing the way to negotiate with Goedert as the tight end of the present and future.

The Baltimore Ravens have released Le'Veon Bell.

Before the Ravens announced the move, Bell wrote on Twitter: "This hurts but it's been a blessing to be here to say the least. I've enjoyed every second of this short period and gotta whole new meaning of what this city is like & it's a great place to be. I appreciate Eric [DeCosta, Ravens GM] & John Harbaugh for the opportunity to be called [a] Raven."

Bell averaged a career-worst 2.7 yards per carry (83 yards on 31 attempts). He scored two touchdowns.

The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to sign Odell Beckham Jr. 

Beckham became a free agent when he cleared waivers on Tuesday after being released by the Cleveland Browns.

The Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks were among the other teams Beckham considered this week. Beckham's ultimate decision came down to the Rams and Packers. 

Cam Newton has agreed to sign with the Carolina Panthers. 

Newton will receive up to $10 million for the remainder of the season, which includes $4.5 million fully guaranteed and a $1.5 million roster bonus.

The Panthers parted ways with Newton after the 2019 season.

Cam Newton will meet with the Carolina Panthers on a possible return.

The Panthers released Newton following the 2019 season after he had struggled with injuries.

The 2015 NFL MVP signed with New England and started 15 games for the Patriots before being released in training camp after the team decided to go with rookie Mac Jones as the starter.

The Cleveland Browns have signed Joel Bitonio to a three-year contract extension worth as much as $48 million.

The All-Pro offensive guard received his extension on the heels of Wyatt Teller's new four-year deal with the Browns.

Bitonio, 30, was a second-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
