Odell Beckham Jr. says he wants to be with the Cleveland Browns, and the AFC North team apparently feels the same way.

Browns general manager John Dorsey told the star wide receiver that the team doesn't plan to trade him, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Beckham said he was committed to Cleveland on Wednesday after reports that he'd encouraged opposing teams to acquire him.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here," said Beckham. "We'll figure this thing out. It's just too special to leave."

Beckham is under contract with the Browns for another three seasons.

Cleveland acquired the 27-year-old from the New York Giants in a blockbuster trade in March. The shocking deal came shortly after the Giants said they "didn't sign him to trade him."

Beckham's first season with the Browns has been a major disappointment. Cleveland is all but eliminated from playoff contention and the wideout has caught a career-low two touchdowns in 14 games.
