    Why have the Browns announced that OBJ will be one of the guys modeling the new uniform in April?

    Because they are stuck with him and they knew it back then. But their phones were still open if someone wanted to give up a 1st rounder.

          No, I didn't, because I work for a living.      Can you provide a link to the show you're talking about?   Because what you're linking is a month & 1/2 old article that isn't ESPN, Fox or CBS.  Basically any outlet with a pulse of credibility.     Which is a complete farcry from what you said you saw THIS (3/3/20) AM.

          And cut with that Cal talk.   Shit is weird. 

          Truth is, Browns can't get anywhere near what they want for OBJ, it's cold lookin like all they can get is a 3rd. I mean, he ain't no AB (as far as him being nuts), he's a 1035 yard, 4 TD guy. Not horrible, but no one will pay him his salary for that, and with his ....acting up. Honestly, he'd excel on a few teams, but they ain't gonna pony up for that much cheese. Imagine him on SF, Seattle, Ravens, Bills...

            Man, I'm so weary of people in our society spouting total bullshit and when rightly called out only doubling down on their stupidity. Way, way, too much of that in the world today.

              Funny thread... not sure what prompted it, however. Maybe trying to settle an old score... but ending up racking up a couple new ones instead?

              Anyway...

              Word directly from our local press is that while not actively shopping OBJ Berry will answer the phone.

              I'm sure there are a few teams out there that will call.

              Thank you, Tour2ma, the reason they are not "actively" shopping him is they already know what the market is, and no deal is close. Browns want something close to what they paid for him....bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Not gonna happen. Under his current contract, teams won't take him on that alone, forget a high draft pick too.

              Your welcome... I guess... but not sure why the thanks since I disputed at least two points in your OP.

              1. The implication that we are actively trying to move him.. and...
              2. That he's not wanted... not working out.

                Hmmm, yes, "excel?" Hmmmmm. Along with his nearly weekly baggage that adds distraction and diminishes focus towards winning (i.e. wearing large watches during games, wearing unapproved shoes,  wearing visors that are knowingly breaking conformity, etc.) his cost - without even considering the distraction/attention whoring negatives, his pay is not worth his production. 

                He is, as of now, the 4th-highest paid WR in the NFL, and has $65,000,000 guaranteed. 

                https://overthecap.com/position/wide-receiver/

                OK, there. 4th highest paid while (drum roll please) is 26th in receiving yards....26th. That being said, he was 65th in receiving TDs scored among WRs/TEs/RBs. So, forgive those of us who don't consider being 4th highest paid while being such a low producer in yards and TDs a good value. Then add in the fact that he is still a major distraction week in and week out, and you have one of the worst values in the NFL. And as Shannon Sharpe always says, if you're healthy enough to play, don't give me injuries as an excuse for not producing...period. (Ulike all of us, Shannon is a Hall of Fame player and an NFL expert.) 

                Bottom line, Browns can't get anything for him in a trade, and they know it, so they have stopped shopping him. They are stuck with him (and his petulant child act) and there is nothing they can do about it. Their only hope is they start winning, as his attitude will get better.

                  The problem is...

                  1.) They can get virtually nothing for him, at least not compared to what they gave up for him (1st, 3rd rounder AND a decent player). He was the 26th WR in receiving yards in 2019 and 65th in rec. TDs). Find me a team willing to pay a top-4 WR salary for that production. 

                  2.) Mr. Jimmy's ego can't take settling for a mere 3rd rounder after what he gave up for him.  That would be admitting what a bad trade he was. Mr. Jimmy doesn't want to virtually stand in a corner with a dunce cap on. 

                  We don't know how well Stef can bond with and motivate players, this will be a nice test. If he gets OBJ to knock off the baby routine and focus and produce, this could end up being a whole different story. But Mr. Jimmy has to get the hell out of the way.

                          In a sign of his status with the team, Odell Beckham Jr. has reportedly been involved in photoshoots for the Cleveland Browns' new uniforms.

                          CLEVELAND — Odell Beckham Jr. remains a part of the Cleveland Browns' plans for the future.

                          And it appears the team has the pictures to prove it.

                          Next month, the Browns will unveil their long-awaited new set of uniforms, which will mark the team's first change in apparel since 2015. And while Cleveland's new threads won't be made public until April, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Browns have already done photoshoots for the reveal, with Beckham front and center.

                          So if the photos are already in the can, then the player selection had to have been much earlier than you previously believed.

                          Can you say "face of the franchise"?

                            Yes..I wake up with my millions..Sing like Freddie Mercury & blame my roadies for equipment malfunctions.. Good news my agent gets it all approved thru Mr Jimmy...your not worth having the adult stars conversation....so we won't...

                            So...I see. Dodge the actual question and just be inane, got it. You think OBJ is just acting like your typical 27 year-old. Very good. That excuses it all. 4th highest-paid WR, 26th in yards and 65th in TDs. Super.

                              There is no evidence... none... zero... nada... that OBJ was shopped.

                              Because they are stuck with him and they knew it back then. But their phones were still open if someone wanted to give up a 1st rounder.

                              The above was in reference to OBJ being one of our new uniform models...

                              In a sign of his status with the team, Odell Beckham Jr. has reportedly been involved in photoshoots for the Cleveland Browns' new uniforms.

                              CLEVELAND — Odell Beckham Jr. remains a part of the Cleveland Browns' plans for the future.

                              And it appears the team has the pictures to prove it.

                              Next month, the Browns will unveil their long-awaited new set of uniforms, which will mark the team's first change in apparel since 2015. And while Cleveland's new threads won't be made public until April, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Browns have already done photoshoots for the reveal, with Beckham front and center.

                                Thank you, Tour2ma, the reason they are not "actively" shopping him is they already know what the market is, and no deal is close. Browns want something close to what they paid for him....bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Not gonna happen. Under his current contract, teams won't take him on that alone, forget a high draft pick too. 

                                Your welcome... I guess... but not sure why the thanks since I disputed at least two points in your OP.

                                1. The implication that we are actively trying to move him.. and...
                                2. That he's not wanted... not working out.

                                4th-highest paid WR while being 26th in rec. yards. Why, yes, it's working out just perfectly. Sure. Which way is the clown car showing up?

                                  OBJ will never be the same player again.. I say get what ya can for him...

                                  The problem is...

                                  1.) They can get virtually nothing for him, at least not compared to what they gave up for him (1st, 3rd rounder AND a decent player). He was the 26th WR in receiving yards in 2019 and 65th in rec. TDs). Find me a team willing to pay a top-4 WR salary for that production. 

                                  2.) Mr. Jimmy's ego can't take settling for a mere 3rd rounder after what he gave up for him.  That would be admitting what a bad trade he was. Mr. Jimmy doesn't want to virtually stand in a corner with a dunce cap on. 

                                  We don't know how well Stef can bond with and motivate players, this will be a nice test. If he gets OBJ to knock off the baby routine and focus and produce, this could end up being a whole different story. But Mr. Jimmy has to get the hell out of the way.

                                      Aw.... you think I'm cute... or WTF "adorbs" is...

                                      Sorry but I am a married man...

                                      Seriously...

                                      Pretty sure I don't have to prove anything. I just have to raise reasonable doubt... and I think I have.

                                      Whereas you have not backed up your position at all... and it is your position because you tied yourself to some radio talking heads 'that you've yet to name. All apparently because you've been stewing over some other unpopular position you took some time ago... a position I doubt anyone besides you even remembers.

                                        4th-highest paid WR while being 26th in rec. yards. Why, yes, it's working out just perfectly. Sure. Which way is the clown car showing up?

                                        Sweet Jesus...

                                        Yes... OBJ's 2019 season was disappointing, but there were so many contributing factors aside from OBJ's injury it's ridiculous.

                                        • Start with Freddie...
                                        • then Baker...
                                        • add in our first 1000-yard rusher in 10 ten years and note that the only other season he's played with a 1000-yd rusher that his numbers were down to damn near his 2019 level...
                                        • plus it's the first time OBJ ever shared the field with another 1000-yd receiver...

                                        Need more?

                                        Or are you rational?

                                          The problem is...

                                          1.) They can get virtually nothing for him, at least not compared to what they gave up for him (1st, 3rd rounder AND a decent player). He was the 26th WR in receiving yards in 2019 and 65th in rec. TDs). Find me a team willing to pay a top-4 WR salary for that production. 

                                          2.) Mr. Jimmy's ego can't take settling for a mere 3rd rounder after what he gave up for him.  That would be admitting what a bad trade he was. Mr. Jimmy doesn't want to virtually stand in a corner with a dunce cap on. 

                                          We don't know how well Stef can bond with and motivate players, this will be a nice test. If he gets OBJ to knock off the baby routine and focus and produce, this could end up being a whole different story. But Mr. Jimmy has to get the hell out of the way. 

                                          Stef comes across too soft for me.. I don't see it happening..

                                          Do you usually rate men by their hardness?
