March 12 (UPI) -- New York Giants star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is headed to the Cleveland Browns.

Sources told the NFL Network on Tuesday that the Browns will send a first-round pick and a third-rounder in this year's draft and safety Jabrill Peppers to the Giants for the wideout. The trade can be finalized Wednesday when the NFL's new league year begins.

Beckham is the second superstar receiver to be traded this offseason. Former Pittsburgh Steelers standout Antonio Brown will join the Oakland Raiders after both teams agreed to a trade Saturday.

Brown received a contract upgrade after the trade. Sources informed the NFL Network that Beckham will also want a pay raise with Cleveland.

Beckham will be reunited with former LSU teammate Jarvis Landry. Landry signed a five-year, $75.5 million contract extension with the Browns after the Miami Dolphins traded him to the franchise before the 2018 season.
