According to a report from Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, Odell Beckham Jr. is unhappy with his team's offense. He does not intend on requesting a trade at the end of the season.

The report also added that Odell Beckham Jr. has certainly voiced his displeasure with the offense with confidants. He's also informed his opponents on a few occasions – before or after the games.
