LeBron tweets ´freeOBJ´ as Beckham´s father points finger at Mayfield

Odell Beckham Jr’s father is not happy with the Cleveland Browns wide receiver’s numbers this season, and a famous fan shares that sentiment.

Ohio native LeBron James took to Twitter to voice his frustration at Beckham’s production, though, like the wideout’s father, he appears to not blame the man himself.

The four-time NBA MVP posted on Tuesday: “OBJ will show again why he’s special. WR1 #FreeOBJ.”

That tweet followed an Instagram post from Odell Beckham Sr featuring an 11-minute video showing clips of Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield eschewing chances to throw to an open Beckham.

OBJ will show again why he’s special. WR1 #FreeOBJ

The social media posts came on the day of the NFL’s trade deadline, but Beckham is not among the players expected to be moved despite his struggles.

Beckham has 17 catches for 232 yards and zero touchdowns for the Browns since returning from a torn ACL in Week 3.

Those numbers have been somewhat impacted by a shoulder injury to Mayfield, who missed the Browns’ Week 7 win over a Denver Broncos because of a torn labrum but returned on Sunday for Cleveland’s 15-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
