Odell Beckham Jr. Tries to Shut Down Trade Rumors by Saying He Has a House in Cleveland
By Ian Anderson
Odell Beckham Jr. did a poor job of dismissing the rumors that he wants to leave the Cleveland Browns with his latest comments.
On Wednesday, Beckham tried to dismiss his exit rumors by mentioning that he'd bought a house in Cleveland, and doesn't plan to sell it.

Not your most convincing argument there, OBJ.
Beckham has recently been rumored to have told members of other organizations to "come get me," as he runs out of patience in Cleveland. Despite OBJ's efforts to convince us he's happy in The Land because of his purchase of property, it's safe to say we're less than convinced.
OBJ: I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be here. We’ll figure this thing out. It’s just too special to leave.” Asked him if that meant 2020: “Yeah, we’re going to be here. We’re going to do it again. And we’re going to be what we felt like we should’ve been.” pic.twitter.com/Aa8JTnyjPZ

Beckham openly claimed that Cleveland is "too special to leave," but his actions seem to speak differently than his words. After all, a truly content wide receiver wouldn't have been overheard asking Jimmy Garoppolo to recruit him to the Niners.
If the Browns want to keep Odell Beckham in Cleveland, they better fix things quickly, because it surely doesn't look like the star wideout is very content, despite what he says.
