Browns Executive Denies Odell Beckham Trade Rumors

Apr 17, 2020 9:02 AM

The Cleveland Browns are denying rumors they could trade Odell Beckham, Jr. this offseason.

Chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta confirmed Cleveland's unwillingness to deal Beckham while speaking to reporters on Thursday.

A report surfaced on Wednesday that the Browns were discussing a possible deal with the Minnesota Vikings.

"It's frustrating a little bit," DePodesta said of the speculation. "I think it's pretty clear we're trying to build at this point. We're really building around a core of players that we think have a chance to be a championship-caliber core, and the idea that we would take away from that core at this moment just doesn't make a whole lot of sense and really [is] not something we're exploring at all."
