Cleveland Browns are having a disappointing 2019 considering how high their expectations were before the start of the season. Browns are currently 6-7 and would need a miracle to get to the playoffs. To make things even worse, rumors say that their star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr wants out.

Beckham was cagey about his future in Cleveland when asked about it in early December, and several reports since then claimed that the 27-year-old wideout is actively attempting to leave the Browns. However, his teammate and friend Jarvis Landry say this is not true.

Landry, who was also Beckham’s teammate at LSU during their college days, said on Thursday that OBJ “is not trying to leave” the Browns.

“It’s not even about trying to go somewhere else, for him,” – said Landry. “He’s been a leader. He’s a guy that comes to work every day. He’s a guy that’s played through injuries. All of the things you want out of a player.”

“Inside this organization he has a voice, he has a responsibility to himself to all of us to go out there and compete each and every Sunday. And he does that. So he doesn’t want to leave and he’s not trying to leave.” – he added.

Odell Beckham joined Cleveland Browns from New York Giants in a blockbuster trade in March. He was expected to be a big centerpiece in Browns’ playoff run, but things didn’t work out that way. Cleveland is playing on a disappointing level considering their talent, and Beckham has one of the worst years in his career.

In 13 games in 2019, Beckham has 59 receptions for 844 yards and only two touchdowns. He also failed to get to 100 receiving yards in the last seven games, the longest stretch in his career.

It seems Odell Beckham Jr.’s hip injury is worse than it was assumed at first. Speaking with reporters on Thursday, Cleveland Browns’ wideout admitted that he isn’t at 100 percent and that the injury still bothers him.

Beckham was limited throughout the training camp and didn’t participate in any Browns’ preseason games due to these struggles. It is unclear when and how the injury happened, but the 26-year-old Pro Bowler said that he knew something was off in early August.

“This is something I’ve never had to deal with,” – said Beckham about the injury. “It’s like an extremely fast car with like a little alignment or something off. And it’s right in the center of what you need.”

Still, the injury won’t stop Beckham from playing in Cleveland’s season opener on Sunday against Tennessee Titans. This will also be the first time he wears Browns’ jersey in an NFL game.

“It’s getting better,” – he added. “It’s as good as it’s going to be until the season starts. It’s something that hopefully that keeps progressing and gets better and not worse.”

Cleveland Browns traded for Odell Beckham in March, sending Jabrill Peppers and their 2019 first round pick (17th overall) to New York Giants in exchange. They were hoping that Beckham could be the final piece of the puzzle that will bring them back to playoffs for the first time since 2002. If his injury struggles continue, however, they might have a hard time doing that in the crowded AFC North.
