CLEVELAND, Ohio (92.3 The Fan) – During his introductory press conference in Los Angeles Saturday, Odell Beckham Jr. didn’t mention the Browns.
He wasn’t asked about weaseling his way out of Cleveland either.
After getting to field softballs from reporters on the west coast, Beckham posted a handwritten note on his social media accounts Saturday night addressed to “Believeland.”
In the note Beckham thanked Browns fans, ownership, coaches, staffers and of course his best friend Jarvis Landry, AKA “Juice.” Baker Mayfield was not thanked specifically but coaches and teammates did get a shout out.
Beckham also mentioned in the note that his goal was to bring a championship to Cleveland from the first day he arrived from New York, yet he offered no explanation as to why he kept requesting trades or manipulated his way to being released.
Below is the full text of the note, unedited.
