NFL Notes: Odell Beckham Jr, Darren Sproles, Draft

Odell Beckham Jr

• Peter King confirms that the Giants and Rams have discussed a potential deal for WR Odell Beckham Jr. However, King says that the talks aren’t serious at this point in time.
• According to King, there are some within the league who know Rams or Giants people who believe strongly that this is more than a pipe dream, and that it could happen.
• King bets the Giants would accept two first-round picks in return for Beckham and believes the Rams probably would be willing to pay that much to get him.
• Alden Gonzalez also confirms that the Rams are interested in acquiring Beckham, but it remains to be seen to what degree.
• Adam Schefter, citing a league source, reports that the Giants have asked for at least two first-round picks in return for Beckham Jr. According to Schefter, this doesn’t mean the Giants will get this return or even close to it for Beckham Jr, but they have asked for at least two first-round picks.
