Cleveland Browns release statement regarding Odell Beckham Jr. following news of receiver's issued arrest warrant
Odell Beckham Jr.’s employer doesn’t sound very thrilled.
If you missed it, the New Orleans Police Department has obtained a warrant for the arrest of Odell Beckham Jr. according to WDSU NBC, after the star receiver was seen slapping the butt of an officer in LSU’s locker room after the Tigers won the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship Game on Monday night.
This was after Beckham was spotted handing out wads of cash to LSU’s players following the win.
Following this latest Beckham news, the Cleveland Browns have issued the following statement:
“We are aware of the incident and have been in touch with Odell and his representatives on the matter. They are cooperating with the proper authorities to appropriately address the situation.”

It would be nice if the nfl suspended him for a game or two, but I don’t see that happening. LSU definitely needs to do something about him, but so far, nothing.
Wherever he goes, it’s all about him. LSU doesn’t need that.
Too much bling and not enough brains
On TV for both acts. You can’t fix stupid.
Incredibly poor judgment being exercised by a supposed adult. First of all, you don’t touch a cop – much less slap one in the butt – ever. What bothers me more is the incident with the cash to the players. That action, besides being a selfish and complete “look at me” attention grab, may possibly jeopardize (if any of the money was real) the eligibility of players who were enjoying a great accomplishment and didn’t ask to be put in this situation. Hoping nothing bad happens to LSU or the players from this – but remember, we’re dealing with the NCAA here.
I know that he is a distinguished alum, but I think LSU might need to ban him from football events. No need to slap the cop on the ass and to potentially jeopardize the careers of players by giving them cash.
