     Odell Beckham Jr. is unhappy in Cleveland. The Browns quarterback made Colin Cowherd of FOX his target on Friday night.“Nobody will just say the truth Tyrod Taylor Jersey ,” Cowherd said earlier Friday, via Mary Kay Cabot of the . “Odell Beckham’s not happy here. He’s not happy. Look at him. Does he look happy?”He hardly was the first to suggest that, and Beckham himself has said he initially was surprised by the trade.“Come to Cleveland and ask O if he actually likes it,’’ Mayfield tweeted at Cowherd. “Just because you say you have a source doesn’t mean you’re not full of BS. And while you’re at it . . . come see if I’m a baby.’’Mayfield has a running Twitter tiff with Cowherd dating to last year when Cowherd called him undraftable and said Mayfield wasn’t a No. 1 choice “in any draft, in any sport.” Mayfield appeared on FoxSports1 wearing an “Undraftable” sweatshirt as he debated the host. BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Odell Beckham Jr.’s current part-time employment isn’t bothering the Browns.Not yet, anyway.The star wide receiver did not practice Wednesday after showing up Tuesday for Cleveland’s voluntary offseason program, ending an excused — if not questionable — monthlong absence. Beckham, who was acquired in a March trade with the New York Giants, has been open with the Browns about his plans to mostly work out on his own during the spring and summer.Still, his decision to stay on his own only enhances the knock on Beckham that he’s not team-oriented.Because the offseason training activities (OTAs) are voluntary, new Browns coach Freddie Kitchens is not upset that Beckham isn’t around. Kitchens is communicating with Beckham and remains confident the three-time Pro Bowler will be ready for the team’s mandatory minicamp in June and training camp in July.“Listen Baker Mayfield Color Rush Jersey , I have never disputed the fact that it is not important for him to be here, but it is also important for him to be mentally ready to be here,” Kitchens said following practice. “I’m not giving him an out by any stretch of imagination, and nobody here knows the conversations that Odell and I have. I’m just saying it is better for him to be here when he can present his best self — emotionally, physically, everything.“Odell Beckham is going to be here in the fall, and he is going to be a good football player in the fall just like he has been.”After Tuesday’s session, Beckham posted a photo on Instagram of him catching a pass. Quarterback Baker Mayfield said it was good to have his new teammate on the field, and he feels no need to try to persuade Beckham to change his routine.“You let a guy like that be him,” Mayfield said. “Everybody has their routine. Stick to what is working, and for him, obviously https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Emmanuel-Ogbah-Jersey , it has been working for a while. He is going to do what he’s going to do. You have to trust that he is going to be there when it matters, and we know who he is.”Beckham wasn’t the only notable absence. Running back Duke Johnson remains away from the team after asking to be traded following the team’s signing of free agent Kareem Hunt.Johnson has been one of the team’s best players over the past few years, but is upset about a reduced role.Kitchens said he has talked to Johnson “a few times” and believes the versatile back will report next month. He acknowledged some frustration that two of his best players aren’t practicing.“I would be lying to say that I wasn’t disappointed that we don’t have everybody here,” he said. “I’m not going to fool you and try to trick you into saying I’m happy-go-lucky fine with it. I want everybody here because I do think it is important to be here, but it is their option.“They understand what they have to do once they come here. As long as everybody is on the same page as that, I’m fine as long as they are ready to play. Odell is going to be ready. Duke is going to be ready. All of them are going to be ready to play.”NOTES: WR Jarvis Landry did not participate in on-field drills during the workout. … The Browns presented $25,000 in hew helmets to players from Berea-Midpark High School, which is near the team’s facility. When Kitchens told the gathered players he was giving them a surprise gift, one of them asked, “Season tickets?”
