Earlier today, rumors emerged that the Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings were engaged in trade discussions for Odell Beckham Jr. 

New York radio personality Marc Malusis reported the Vikings would send a second and fifth-round pick to the Browns for OBJ in the discussions. 

So, as I reported this morning on @MandMWFAN, Source has told me that the Browns and Vikings are in discussions on a trade that would send @obj to the Vikings for a 2nd and 5th round pick next year. Trade is not done, but the deal is being discussed.

Browns beat writer Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com said that she spoke to a source close to the Vikings who gave a one-word response to the OBJ rumors.  

“False,” the source reportedly said to Cabot.

Received a one-word answer from a source close to the #Vikings about the report they’re talking to the #Browns about trading for Odell Beckham Jr. for a 2nd & 5th next year: “False”

Later on in the afternoon, Fox Sports host Colin Cowherd talked about the OBJ trade rumors with the Vikings. 


 

Cowherd has maintained that Odell Beckham Jr. wants out of Cleveland and that he is not a fit.  

Cowherd has not mentioned the potential landing spot, but suggested he could still be traded. 

In 2019, Beckham hauled in 74 receptions, 1,035 receiving yards, and four touchdowns in 16 games.  

Beckham has finished with over 1,000 receiving yards in five of his first six seasons in the NFL.

The only season where he had less than 1,000 receiving yards was in 2017 when he played in four games due to injury.

Will Odell Beckham Jr. be on the move again?

Only time will tell.
