Odell Beckham Jr is not looking for a way out of Cleveland despite an underwhelming first year with the Browns.
The All-Pro was one of the major offseason movers as he swapped New York from the AFC franchise.
People close to the wide receiver maintain he has no plans to request a trade, reports CBS Sports .
Beckham is one of several Browns players eager to see what changes are made at the FirstEnergy Stadium.
The Browns were tipped to have one of the best passing offenses in the NFL, but quarterback Baker Mayfield has taken a backwards step in his second year.

He and Beckham haven't been able to strike up a solid partnership with the 24-year-old only finding his wide receiver in 55 per cent of his 108 attempts.
Beckham made his displeasure known to some of his confidants as well as some of his opponents - both before and after games.

And Mayfield's relationships with his team-mates have also come under scrutiny after he felt the need to comment on contract and injury issues.
His numbers have experienced a decline since his rookie year with his quarterback rating down from 93.7 to 77.6 and his number of interceptions increasing.
Head coach Freddie Kitchens also faces an uncertain future with the Browns looking a long shot for the playoffs and several people within the franchise believe coordinator Todd Monken should have a larger role.
Beckham has also been playing through the pain barrier, although it is not thought to have affected his performances and no surgical decisions have been made.
