CLEVELAND, Ohio — Odell Beckham Jr. is not at the Browns’ voluntary minicamp, which began Tuesday, a league source told cleveland.com.

He was also not there for the second day of the three-day camp on Wednesday. Beckham has been working out in Los Angeles, and posted an Instagram from there on Monday night. He also unloaded on the Giants in a Twitter rant on Monday, defending himself against GM Dave Gettleman’s suggestion that he was a culture problem, and more.

The minicamp, which is closed to the media, is the extra one afforded to new head coaches, and includes 11-on-11 drills with no pads or contact. Teams with returning head coaches can’t pit the offense vs. the defense until the final four weeks of the nine-week program.

Beckham’s decision not to participate in the camp is a departure from last season, when he attended new head coach Pat Shurmur’s extra three-day voluntary minicamp in the days leading up to the draft, despite the fact he was still recovering from ankle surgery.

This offseason, Beckham showed up for the first day of the Browns’ voluntary offseason program and his introductory press conference on April 1, but has been working out on his own ever since. Last season, he attended roughly seven of the 10 voluntary OTA practices.

The year before, in 2017, Beckham did not participate in any of the Giants’ voluntary offseason program.

On Thursday, Browns GM John Dorsey said he was confident that Beckham will do what’s necessary to be ready for the season.

“Where I stand is that any time that you have, as an organization, you have a first-year coaching staff and you’re installing new offenses and new defenses, it’s good to be here; but let’s remember, the CBA created this to where it’s a voluntary situation," Dorsey said in his pre-draft press conference Thursday. “I think he’s an experienced enough player that he’ll understand what he has to do to put himself in the best position and put this team in the best position. That’s how I look at this.”

Coach Freddie Kitchens said April 1 that he wouldn’t hold it against Beckham for not participating fully in the program, and applauded him for showing up the first day despite his life being turned upside down two weeks early with the trade.

“He was here for his teammates, for himself and for his coaches and things like that,'' Kitchens said. "My hat is off to him. He had to go through some hoops to get here, but it was important enough for him to be here.”

Kitchens acknowledged that Beckham would be a part-time participant in the program, and Beckham noted that he wasn’t sure yet how much he’d be here before the mandatory minicamp June 4-6. He did, however, acknowledge the benefits of participation.

“We want to set the tone,'' Beckham said. "I don’t know exactly my offseason plans. I usually train in LA, but I definitely want to be able to be here and create that bond, that relationship with the new teammates, coaches, everybody, just so you can kind of see who I am exactly, but I just thought it was important to be here (the first day). I know (Jarvis Landry) was going to be here, (Baker Mayfield) said he was going to be here, so I had to come see my guys.’’

Kitchens said he didn’t twist Beckham’s arm to show up on day one.

“That was Odell’s (choice),’’ said Kitchens. “I didn’t encourage anything. Odell knows what’s at stake. He knows what he needs to be here for. This is strictly voluntary. If we wanted to critique people for not coming and coming, then we should make it mandatory as a league. Would I hold a grudge if he’s not going to come? No, I wouldn’t."

Kitchens was reminded that some coaches and NFL executives consider the voluntary program to be mandatory. Jaguars VP Tom Coughlin took heat this week, including from the NFL Players Association, for calling out absent players, saying "our players should be here building the concept of team.''

Kitchens responded, “Are you saying they’re right and I’m wrong? I’m saying that they’re breaking the rules. And you know, (those executives) aren’t here.”

His expectations for Beckham this offseason?

“Just to continue to get better as a person and as a player, and you do that by studying film and things like that,’’ said Kitchens.

Immediately after Beckham was traded to the Browns, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that he wants his five-year, $95 million contract extension -- signed last August -- to be restructured. It’s not known if his participation in the offseason program is tied to that in any way.

“I don’t know about the contract,'' Beckham said April 1. "Honestly, it’s not on my mind right now. I am here. I am present today. Just take it one day at a time. Whatever the plans are, those are the plans.”

While Kitchens won’t hold it against Beckham, he acknowledged that it’s vital to be here for the program.

“With all good players, the offseason program is tremendously important not just from a knowledge standpoint, but you start forming relationships with people; you start building relationships with your teammates and with your coaches,’’ Kitchens said. “Once those relationships are built, you can ask the player and the player can ask the coach difficult [questions] and you can have difficult conversations. At that point is when you can make advancements the most.’’

Beckham isn’t the only big-name player with a new team who isn’t at the voluntary extra camp today. Jets running back Le’Veon Bell is also absent for new head coach Adam Gase’s first minicamp practice.

One thing is for certain, Beckham isn’t sitting around Netflix binging.
