The Facts: Even before Beckham shined during Thursday night's win over the Cincinnati Bengals, one source close to the situation insisted to ESPN that the Cleveland Browns had no plans or discussions this season about trading the wide receiver. "It's totally not true," one source told ESPN's Adam Schefter, regarding speculation that Beckham could be traded. "No idea where anyone would have gotten that."
Diehards Line:
Speculation began to mount last week, after Cleveland's blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the season opener, that the Browns were shopping Beckham. But just as the Browns adamantly denied during the offseason that Beckham was being shopped, the source insisted to Schefter that Cleveland still has no plans to trade him and has not discussed dealing the three-time Pro Bowler. Beckham, 27, entered the 2020 season with four years remaining -- at an annual average value of $15 million -- on the record-setting deal he signed with the New York Giants in 2018.
