Browns Odell Beckham Jr. backtracks on comments hinting at unhappiness

The 2019 season has been nothing short of a disappointment for the Cleveland Browns. It has fallen well below the high level of expectations that were placed on the franchise. That has created much frustration within the team towards their continued shortcomings on the field.

Star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was the latest to display his dismay with the situation. He stated on Thursday that he had no clarity on his future in Cleveland beyond the 2019 season. In light of that, Beckham Jr. took to Twitter on Friday to state that he never said he wasn’t happy playing with the Browns. (h/t Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk)

“I NEVER said I was not happy in Cleveland, just like everyone else I’m hopeful for better results. Period. Next story plzz,” Beckham wrote on Twitter.

The Pro Bowler may feel that it is a non-story, but it’s hard to view it in any other light given that he stated he didn’t know what was going to happen beyond this season. Keep in mind, Beckham Jr. is only in the first year of his five-year, $90 million deal.

The frustration with how things have unfolded is evident, but it’s hard to ignore his previous comments entirely. There is a desire from Beckham Jr. and other players for change in Cleveland to get the franchise in the right direction where they are competing for the playoffs and much more. Until then, the Browns still have four more games left in the regular season with a slight chance to contend for a playoff spot.
