Browns moving on from Garrett's assault and the loss of the rematch with the Steelers to new controversies

Fox Sports Jay Glazer reported on the pre-game show today that Odell Beckham Jr. has told players and coaches he wants out of Cleveland.

“Here’s the thing: People are now surprised about what’s happening and what he’s saying in Cleveland, but players around the league and coaches, they’re not. Let me fill you in why: Because throughout this year, Odell Beckham has actually told other players and coaches before games, during, ‘hey come get me, come get me.”

Glazer added, “Remember, it was not Odell’s choice to go to the Cleveland Browns. He got traded there. Now, also, there’s reports he needs sports hernia surgery. I’ve got to say, I don’t see that relationship ending well for them after this year.”

Baker then throws the medical staff under the bus for its treatment of Beckham

Mayfield blamed the medical staff for not seeing to it that Beckham have his groin or sports hernia surgery repaired in training camp.

“Yeah, I’d say that wasn’t handled right. He’s not able to run as well as he should be able to, as well as he knows, and that’s frustrating for him. You can sense that’s some of his frustration where that comes from. Wasn’t handled the right way in our training room. So it is what it is. His not 100 percent is still good enough for us."

He said, “I think it could’ve been addressed earlier on.’’
