The Giants worked out veteran WR Odell Beckham Jr. for a second time on Monday, and the former New York star is hoping to get back on the team that originally drafted him.
“You know, it’s a place I never wanted to leave,” Beckham told the New York Post. “And it’s just a special place in my heart just to see all these Big Blue jerseys. Just hoping for the best. I think you just rely on the things you always rely on, which is my faith. And, you know, God has a place of special purpose and journey for me, and just being able to spend that time away, just made me realize some things. You know, I left some things unfinished, so hopefully we’ll see what he’s got working out.”
Beckham has been on the Giants’ radar for a few weeks now and there appears to be some optimism that a deal could done.
Beckham, 33, was taken with the No. 12 overall pick by the Giants back in 2014. He was set to make a base salary of $8,459,000 for the 2018 season when he agreed to a new five-year extension worth up to $95 million that included $65 million in total guarantees.
The Giants traded Beckham to the Browns in 2019 for the No. 17 overall pick, their second third-round pick, and S Jabrill Peppers. The Browns reworked his contract before waiving him after the trade deadline in 2021. He signed a one-year deal with the Rams to finish out the season, but tore his ACL in the Super Bowl win and sat out all of 2022.
The Ravens signed Beckham to a one-year contract before he became a free agent once more and joined the Dolphins on a one-year, $3 million contract. Miami ended up letting him go in December 2024.
In 2024, Beckham appeared in nine games for the Dolphins and caught nine passes for 55 yards and no touchdowns.
