As per usual, there are reports swirling about Odell Beckham Jr. and his future in the NFL.
On Sunday, FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer reported that the wide out has approached opposing players and coaches before and even during games telling them ‘come get me.’ If the report is indeed true, it’s a pretty big bombshell and would only increases the likelihood of us seeing OBJ in a different city next season.

Beckham Jr. went on to catch two passes for 39 yards during the Browns’ 29-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday and following the game he was asked about Glazer’s report. He was quick to shut it down explaining that he didn’t want to talk about any ‘offseason stuff.’

That doesn’t sound or look like a guy who’s team just won a must-win game against Cincinnati.
Not to speculate too much, but he very clearly looks, and sounds, unhappy which shouldn’t necessarily be the case after a win. Then again, this is the Browns and nothing involving them makes too much sense.
Plus, his quote of ‘I’m not going to talk about any offseason stuff that’s going on right now’ probably isn’t what you want to hear if you’re on the side of wanting OBJ to stick around in Cleveland. Him referring to the situation as ‘offseason stuff’ all but implies he’s already thinking about the offseason with three games still left on the slate.
It wouldn’t shock anyone to see OBJ dealt to a new team during the offseason and after this report and his quote, there’s been some serious gas thrown on the fire.
