Odell Beckham trade rumors refuted by Browns
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham was not offered in a trade to the Minnesota Vikings, chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta stated.
"It was completely false," DePodesta said in response to rumors that Beckham was being shopped. "It's frustrating obviously," DePodesta said. "It's pretty clear what we're trying to build. The idea we'd take away from that core doesn't make sense and is not something we're exploring." Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports also refuted the rumors. Beckham did set career-lows with 4.6 receptions and 64.7 yards per game in his first season with the Browns, but it would still be surprising to see them cut ties so quickly. The 27-year-old wideout is under contract through 2023.
OBJ averaged 10.27 FanDuel points per game last season, finishing as the WR38. He also averaged 8.3 targets, 4.6 receptions and a career-low 64.7 yards per game with 4 touchdowns. His 7.8 yards per target ranked 20th among the 30 receivers with 100-plus targets. He finished 24th in that same group in numberFire's advanced per-target receiving metric.
