Odell Beckham Jr. is officially a member of the Cleveland Browns. The superstar wideout was traded to the Browns from the Giants in one of the biggest blockbusters in recent NFL history. Beckham made an appearance in Cleveland Monday for his introductory press conference, but he isn't sticking around that long.

Beckham will be going back and forth during the Browns' offseason workouts, and the team is fine with that. Speaking to the media, new head coach Freddie Kitchens explained it wasn't a big deal to him, via Pro Football Talk.

“Like I told you guys a couple of weeks ago, Odell did not know where he was going to be,” Kitchens said. “He did not know that he was going to be in Cleveland up until three weeks ago now. He has some things to tie up, but he thought that it was important enough to be here today so he was here for his teammates, for himself and for his coaches and things like that. My hat is off to him. He told me something a couple of weeks ago, and he made it work. He had to go through some hoops to get here, but it was important enough for him to be here,” for the press conference, Kitchens said.

Beckham was traded from the Giants more or less because of a falling out that he had with the team's management, so it's important his relationship with Kitchens and the front office remains solid. Beckham doesn't want to ruffle any feathers, and thankfully Kitchens is quite understanding.

“We do not really know specifics right now, but he will not be here continually right now. He will be back and forth, but he has some things he has to tie up, and we are getting all of that in order now,” Kitchens explained.

Kitchens is in his first year as an NFL head coach, after starting last year as the Browns' running backs coach.

After Todd Haley was fired, Kitchens was promoted to offensive coordinator, and he did great work with Baker Mayfield. With Beckham now in the fold, expectations for the Browns' offense will be sky-high for the first time in a long time.
