LeBron James Weighs in on Browns' Odell Beckham Situation: 'Free OBJ'

The Browns insist Odell Beckham Jr. isn't going anywhere before Tuesday's trade deadline but there appears to be a few notable individuals speaking out on the star receiver's behalf. 

Beckham's father posted a video on Tuesday morning highlighting numerous missed opportunities for completions from quarterback Baker Mayfield to Beckham. And shortly thereafter, LeBron James weighed in on Beckham's tricky situation.

"OBJ will show again why he’s special," James tweeted Tuesday. "WR1 #FreeOBJ."

Perhaps a change in scenery will help return Beckham to the top of the NFL receiver rankings. The former Giants star has struggled in Cleveland, tallying just seven touchdown receptions in 29 games. Beckham enters Week 9 with 17 catches in six games this season.

The Browns have struggled to score in recent weeks, including a 15-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. Cleveland currently sits in the AFC North cellar at 4–4.
