Odell Beckham Jr. is one of the most polarizing figures in the entire NFL and he gets heavy reactions from a positive and negative standpoint anytime he does anything.
The Browns traded for Beckham in a blockbuster deal last offseason with the Giants, but the 2019 season didn’t live up to the preseason hype at all.
Beckham finished his first season in Cleveland with 1,035 yards and four touchdowns, however, he was injured for much of the season and it kept him from getting much needed practice time with new QB Baker Mayfield.
Even still, there are people who just don’t like him and Jason Whitlick is one of those people.
On FS1’s Speak for Yourself, the host went after Beckham, breaking down why there’s no market for the outspoken wide receiver:
“I think for teams that are interested in winning and winning right now, Odell Beckham Jr. has very little value. Odell Beckham Jr.’s not all in on football. He costs too much money, he’s not as great a player as everyone’s made him out to be. He’s benefited from a league that has gone soft. He’s undersized, he’s got a big mouth. He makes some spectacular catches, but he doesn’t contribute to a winning environment.
I think teams are going to be more hesitant to get involved with those guys and Odell Beckham Jr., to me, is exhibit A, B, C and O, B and J. He is the prime example of a guy you don’t want anywhere near your football team if you’re trying to win a championship.”

The latest rumor involving Beckham surrounded him heading to the 49ers, but NFL insider Jay Glazer debunked any notion of OBJ heading west in his latest Q&A Mailbag column for The Athletic.
“Nope. No truth to that. Sorry, gang,” Glazer wrote responding to a question on the possible trade. “I know the 49ers loved him but they are trying to rebuild draft capital, not give up draft capital.”
