In New England, you could almost set your watch to the yearly "Odell Beckham to the Patriots" trade rumors. Who knows how they actually originate, but it's a near certainty that they'll come about at least once or twice a year. With Tom Brady departing Foxborough this offseason, however, one would have thought that this move would have also put those rumors to rest. Well, that's not the case.
In the aftermath of the Patriots signing quarterback Cam Newton to a one-year deal to compete for the starting job that Brady left behind, that was enough to spark social media scuttlebutt about Beckham possibly being the next star to land in New England. After all, Beckham and Newton have been working out together this offseason. Comedian Bob Menery and Dodgers pitcher Alex Wood, in particular, were two folks on Twitter talking about this possibility, and Beckham himself responded to each of them to say that he's committed to the Browns.
"Lol no sir boss! But y'all got my brother, wishin nothin but the best and LUV," Beckham said in a tweet to Menery. who suggested he was the next domino to fall in the direction of New England after Newton. To Wood's prediction that Beckham would be on the Patriots "before the season is done," Beckham tweeted, "U can find me in The LAND homie! We got unfinished business."
While the Patriots could use a game-breaking talent like Beckham, who even in a down year in 2019 caught 74 passes for 1,035 yards, in their receiver room, the Browns have remained firm that they want Beckham in the fold for 2020, despite rumors of a divorce circulating earlier this offseason. It's also unclear now New England would be able to pull off a Beckham blockbuster even if the Browns were willing to talk, as the Patriots currently have little to no cap space at their disposal.
Until the next time these rumors come about, both Beckham and Newton will likely just have to keep their off-the-field friendship as simply that and not evolve it as teammates. From here, Newton will try to earn the starting job in New England, while Beckham's Browns will look to rebound following a disappointing 2019 season.
