The Cleveland Browns don’t plan to trade wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Tuesday, ESPN reported.
The team hasn’t received an offer “that would make sense,” per the report. The trade deadline is 4 p.m. ET.
The three-time Pro Bowl selection has played six games this season, catching 17 passes on 34 targets with no touchdown receptions.
He has failed to connect with quarterback Baker Mayfield — and Odell Beckham Sr. is placing the blame squarely on Mayfield.
The elder Beckham posted a video to his verified Instagram account Tuesday morning. Set to the song “Everybody Hurts” by R.E.M., the video shows missed chances for the Browns’ offense in Weeks 3 through 6 when Beckham Jr. was open and Mayfield didn’t find him.
The post included a number of hashtags from Beckham Sr., including #imafatherbeforeanything, #ihurt4him, #disrespectful and #ilovemyson.
The Browns didn’t comment on the video, and neither did Mayfield’s outspoken wife, Emily. She did, however, retweet a post from a Cleveland journalist that put the blame for the Browns’ woes on the receivers.
The Browns (4-4) visit the Cincinnati Bengals (5-3) on Sunday.
