BEREA, Ohio — Browns coach Freddie Kitchens said Monday that reports of Odell Beckham Jr. wanting out of Cleveland, being unhappy here and having a poor relationship with coaches are not what he’s experienced with his star wideout.

“Until I hear something from Odell — Odell and my relationship is fine,’’ Kitchens said. “Odell and [receivers coach Adam Henry’s] relationship is fine. I’m sorry, I don’t think there’s any ‘gotcha’ moment here. I can only tell you what I think and what I’ve seen from Odell is nothing like the reports indicate, so sorry.’’

Asked about the team’s apparent ‘fractured’ relationship with Beckham in light of the recent reports, Kitchens said, “you’re insinuating that things are fractured.’’

He declined to comment on the two reports that Beckham wants out of Cleveland and has asked opposing players to “come get me.’’ Fox Sports Jay Glazer first reported it during the pre-game show on Sunday and then Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports confirmed it with two sources close to Beckham on Monday.

“Did Odell say that?’’ Kitchens said. “Case closed then. Odell didn’t say it. Odell has not told me anything remotely dealing with that. I know he’s doing a great job getting to the game (with his groin injury) on Sunday.’’

He said he hasn’t sensed that Beckham is “lost’’ as one source described to Robinson and trying to find his way in the organization.

He also said “Odell and Baker’s relationship is fine. I think it’s good.’’

Despite talk that all is well, Beckham expressed frustration during Sunday’s 27-19 victory over the Bengals, a game in which he caught only two passes for 39 yards. After one play on which he was open and the ball didn’t come his way, he snapped off his mouthguard on the field in frustration and then yelled at Kitchens on the sidelines. Kitchens said something back.

It marked the third time this season that Beckham has caught only two passes this season, something that happened only once in 59 times in New York. Beckham has also had yardage in the 30s on four occasions this season, something that happened only six times in his 59 games in New York.

Baker Mayfield attributed Beckham’s frustration this season to not being himself because of the groin injury or sports hernia that might require offseason surgery, but sources tell cleveland.com that Beckham feels good enough on game day to contribute more and that he’s more frustrated with what he described last week as a “bad season’’ on a talented team with a losing record.

He’s tied for 32nd in the NFL with 59 receptions and is 25th with 844 yards. He’s on pace for 1,038 yards, but won’t get there if his recent clip of 29 and 39 yards over the last two games. Still, the Browns are proud of the fact that they’re the only team in the NFL with a 1,000-yard rusher and two receivers with 800-plus receiving yards.

“Maybe the expectation level for Odell is the expectation for Odell without anybody else,’’ said Kitchens. “We’ve got other guys too.’’

Robinson took the “come get me’’ narrative a step further, quoting one of two sources close to Beckham as saying that the receiver made his plea during at least one game in October. The Browns played three elite teams in October, the 49ers, Seahawks and Patriots.

In the week leading up the Patriots game on Oct. 27, Beckham was effusive in his praise of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, and made it clear that it’s always been a dream of his to play with them

“Two, three years ago there was a whole speculation and all that was going on and I was willing and ready to go over there at any point in time,’’ Beckham said. “That was always a dream of mine to play for Tom Brady — Tom Brady and [Bill] Belichick.’’

He acknowledged that he and Brady, 42, kicked it around for two or three years like “if it happens, it happens and it would be cool.’’

He unabashedly refers to Brady — who has the Patriots at 7-0 this season — as the greatest quarterback of all time, and gave him goat-haired shoes when the two teams met that day to honor the G.O.A.T.

The two star players met up outside the locker room after the game, and Brady’s son met Beckham.

Furthermore, Beckham admires 49er coach Kyle Shanahan, who’s praised the wideout and tried to acquire him in a trade. He’s also gotten to know Jimmy Garroppolo.

“He talks to Jimmy on and off the field,” one source Robinson. “They have a friendship that is more than just saying hello before or after [a game]. There’s a lot of mutual respect there as football players and people — which is important [to Beckham].”

A source told Robinson that Beckham is unsure about his fit with the Browns, which he stated publicly on Thursday, “including his relationship with the coaching staff and his role in the offense.’’

On Monday, Beckham, who’s immensely popular in the locker room and makes it a point to get to know all of his teammates, presented all of them with a pair of Nike Air Max 720 OBJ sneakers.

“It was pretty nice of him,’’ said linebacker Joe Schobert. “I sit close to him in team meetings, see him around the building, talk here and there. He always seems happy. From everything I see of him, all my interactions have all been positive.’’

Schobert said it was the second time Beckham has shoed his teammates.

“That’s just who he is,’’ he said. “You can tell he cares about the guys in the locker room. He’s talking to everybody in training camp. There are guys you don’t know if they’re going to make the team, that you’d think they’re best friends. That’s the kind of guy he is, his personality. I’m happy to have him around.”

He’s never gotten the vibe Beckham doesn’t want to be here.

“Odell, you know who he is,’’ he said. “He wants to be one of the best of all time at playing the game. He’s a competitive guy, so if he’s not making a tone of plays all the time, he’s going to be competitive about it. He’s going to be who he is. Overall, the grand scheme of things, I have nothing but positive things.”

Schobert is amazed that Beckham has been able to play through what could be a sports hernia.

“One of my friends, a linebacker at Wisconsin, played through it for a couple weeks but eventually he was walking through the building walking like an 80-year-old man, a grandpa out there,’’ he said. “Just the fact he can get out on the field and play with an injury like that – I don’t know the severity or any of that stuff, is a testament to how competitive he really is.”

Center JC Tretter’s experience with Beckham has been the same.

“I get along with Odell really well,’’ he said. “We have a really good relationship. We joke around every day together. It always seems like he’s having a fun time and you know he’s lighthearted and you’re able to joke with him and make fun of him and he makes fun of you. He’s been a model citizen since getting here, so I haven’t seen any negative to it and no I feel like he gets along with a lot of guys really well.”

He hasn’t sensed that Beckham is unhappy.

“Any great player wants to make plays and wants to show what he can do, so I think there's levels of frustration,’’ he said. “I think he’d love to go out there and have 12 catches, 200 yards and four touchdowns. I think that would be a great day, and sometimes that doesn't happen. I think for the most part he's OK with that. I think he would always love that to happen. We would love it, too. We would win a lot of games if that was the case, so I think the term frustration is always looked at in a negative type of light of ‘oh, he's frustrated, that means things aren't going well within the team.

“From what I've spoke with Odell about, he cares most about winning. So I think that's really what takes care of it."
