Odell Beckham already threatening new team he hasn’t joined yet

Odell Beckham, Jr. is still officially on the Cleveland Browns but is already threatening any team that might consider adding him when he’s waived on Monday

In a classic case of someone proving they still don’t realize they were the issue, Odell Beckham, Jr. is already threatening his newest potential team. And the best part is, he’s still not even officially gone from the Cleveland Browns roster.

Cleveland will waive OBJ on Monday which means he will then be placed on waivers and any team can put in a claim for his services. That would mean they would be on the hook for his contract which has roughly $7 million left for 2021.

However, OBJ is apparently claiming that any team that does not have a “winning environment” or is a playoff contender will have “issues” if they were to try and bring him in.

Beckham was traded to the Cleveland Browns in 2019 and immediately, there were claims he was unhappy to be in Northeast Ohio. Fans vehemently defended Beckham who did at least try and prove he was happy there.

However, his frustration with his role continued to shine through and there were obvious issues with him and Baker Mayfield on the field. There were also some highly controversial moments such as him and Jarvis Landry telling other teams “come get me” during their frustratingly bad 2019 campaign under Freddie Kitchens.

Again, fans buried their heads in the sand and pretended OBJ was still the ideal teammate despite these issues. Unfortunately, things came to a head this year after he had several bad drops and decided everything was Baker’s fault.

Beckham, with the help of his father, forced his way out and has now decided to prove that everything the naysayers claimed was true. First, he simply quit speaking to coach Kevin Stefanski instead of attempting to find a way to work with the team and improve his role. Now, his latest claim shows he simply doesn’t get that he was even a part of the problem — and probably never will.

Sure, OBJ is a talented player but wide receivers don’t carry teams. They simply don’t. On top of that, he’s a long way removed from the guy who made circus catches (in losing efforts) for the Giants.

Even with that, he’s still showing that he believes he’s above anyone else on any team he’s on — and his warning might warn off any non-contending teams. Then again, it might also scare away contending teams who don’t want a bad apple in their locker room.

In the end, none of this matters for Cleveland. Fans tried all they could to embrace Odell Beckham but after three years of drama and excuses, it’s best for the team to move on. Good luck to OBJ and whoever decides to take him on.
