Jarvis Landry Cried When He Heard OBJ Was Getting Traded to the Browns

Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry cried when he heard that Cleveland traded for his former LSU teammate and best friend Odell Beckham Jr. and landed the former Giants' star wideout in exchange for right guard Kevin Zeitler, safety Jabrill Peppers and two draft picks.

Landry says he assured Beckham that Cleveland would give him a fresh start. Landry told Sports Illustrated's Ben Baskin that when he heard the news, he told Beckham, "Just come be you."

Beckham put down an offer on the house across the street from Landry and fulfilled what had once been a childhood dream of the two Louisiana-natives who grew up just 50 miles apart and first met as high schoolers.
