#Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr.: "No one knows what the future holds. I couldn't sit here and tell you whether I'm going to be here, want to be here, don't want to be here. This is exactly where I'm at now and I wouldn't rather be anywhere else. God has a plan."

#Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr. on speculation about his offseason: "That's something we'll worry about when offseason comes around. Right now, I'm learning. Finish the season strong...if we can make the playoffs, I'm all in. I'm going to give this team everything I have."

"No one knows what the future holds tomorrow,'' he said Thursday. "I couldn’t tell you. My locker is right next to one of the people that mean the most to me in the world. I think about coming to work and seeing him every single day and how special this could be, so I couldn’t sit here and tell you whether I’m going to be here, want to be here, don’t want to be here. This is exactly where I’m at right now, and I wouldn’t rather be anywhere else.''

He continued his responses along those lines when asked about his offseason. "That's something we'll worry about when offseason comes around," he said. "Right now, I'm learning. Finish the season strong. If we can make the playoffs, I'm all in. I'm going to give this team everything I have."

The vague nature of his response has led to some confusion as to whether or not he'll stay, but as for now, the wide receiver's focus is clearly on the Browns. Anything beyond that is pure speculation.
