The Cleveland Browns barely snuck past the 1-12 Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. With a 27-19 victory, it was still a game as the clock ran out.
At 6-7, the Browns are a major disappointment. Sure, they could still finish the year 9-7, but this was a team many thought would be serious Super Bowl contenders heading into the season. So that isn't exactly stacking up to the lofty expectations.
Now, there's a ton of drama surrounding Odell Beckham Jr., the superstar wide receiver. Issues with an injury have created problems within the organization.
Meanwhile, there are reports that he is not happy with the team. At first they were disputed, but then even more reports came out.
Those reports said that Beckham wants out of Cleveland and even went up to teams asking them to trade for him.
This was not exactly argued by Beckham very much. In fact, according to Josh Alper of ProFootballTalk.com, the wide receiver gave a classic cryptic response, saying he will not talk about offseason “stuff”.
This comes after Beckham said he will have to wait and see because no one knows what the future holds when it comes to his future with the Browns.
With that in mind, this sounds like Beckham not wanting to comment on the situation because he already has something in his head. That thing in his head is a want to leave.
You could argue that not wanting to comment on the situation is just a way to stop them from asking so much, or from not having to repeat the same stuff 1,000 times. However, he did not seem to have a problem disputing reports before, so the fact that he is not explicitly doing the same in this situation is a little telling.
We will indeed have to wait and see what the future holds for Beckham and the Browns, but it looks more-and-more likely that they could be going their separate ways.
