Odell Beckham Jr.’s trade to the Cleveland Browns sent shockwaves through the NFL. The mercurial wide receiver wasn’t sent packing because of his talent. Rather, the New York Giants were just happy to rid the locker room of OBJ.
“He had become too much of a pain in the ass,” said one source familiar with the situation to Ralph Vacchiano of SNY. “And there was a real fear that eventually it would get worse.”
Beckham was no stranger to controversy on and off the field. Whether it was his dumbfounding interview alongside Lil Wayne or sideline tirades during disappointing losses, Beckham always had a way to find the spotlight.
