Beckham, Browns vowing to 'figure this thing out'

BEREA, Ohio — Odell Beckham Jr. dramatically ended the drama.

He’s not leaving the Browns. Not now anyway.

Tired about speculation over his future, the flashy wide receiver emphatically said Wednesday he’s not looking to get out of Cleveland after just one frustrating season.

After reports over the past several weeks saying he was unhappy and had been telling other teams to “come get me” during games, Beckham stopped the conjecture by insisting that he’s committed to helping the Browns win.

“It’s done. It’s over with,” Beckham said to reporters. “I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be here. We’re going to figure this thing out. It’s just too special to leave.”

Beckham’s first season with the Browns (6-8) hasn’t gone the way anyone expected.

The three-time Pro Bowler isn’t delivering the kind of big plays — he has just two touchdown catches — that made him a household name in New York as one of the NFL’s most dynamic players. He hasn’t developed chemistry with quarterback Baker Mayfield. And he has played with a sports hernia all season.

There have been numerous other off-the-field distractions.
