Odell Beckham Jr. Trade Rumors: 'The Truth' Is Browns Haven't Discussed Deal

Despite rumors about Odell Beckham Jr. being traded this offseason, the Cleveland Browns reportedly haven't had any discussions on the topic, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

"That's the truth," a team source told Schefter.

This comes after Browns chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta denied a specific report about Beckham potentially going to the Minnesota Vikings.

"In short, I will just say it was completely false," DePodesta told Schefter.

Marc Malusis of WFAN first reported the Browns and Vikings were in discussions about a deal that would send Beckham to Minnesota for a second- and fifth-round pick next year.

Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman reported a Vikings source "vehemently denied" any such discussion occurred but added that other teams "believe it's only a matter of time before Beckham is traded from the Browns."

As Freeman noted, the issue is his chemistry with young quarterback Baker Mayfield.

There were high expectations for Cleveland's offense in 2019 after landing the Pro Bowl receiver in a trade with the New York Giants. However, Beckham struggled at times last season, logging 74 catches for 1,035 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games.

The Browns ended the year with the No. 22 offense in both yards and points en route to a 6-10 season.

Kevin Stefanski replaced Freddie Kitchens as the head coach, and there is some dispute about whether significant personnel changes are also on the way.
