Odell Beckham Jr Hoping To Get Long-Term Deal In Place With Giants This Offseason

Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr said Saturday at the NFL Honors show that he’s hoping to get a long-term extension in place this offseason.

“Hopefully to get it done,” Beckham said, via Dan Duggan of NJ.com. “It’s that time just to get it over with. I really want to do it so I can move past it. It’s too much sitting around thinking, ‘Where am I going to be at?’ I need to know where I can start buying furniture for a house. I want to have a place set where I know, ‘OK, this is home. I can always go back to home.’ So it’s just a little intermediate process right now. I’m sure it will get worked out.”

Beckham said he doesn’t know if negotiations between the Giants and his representatives have begun yet.

“My agent probably knows,” Beckham said. “I don’t really talk to him about it yet.”

There have been some questions about Beckham’s long-term future with the Giants, but indications from the new regime and ownership have been that they want to keep him in New York for the foreseeable future.

Beckham, 25, was taken with the No. 12 overall pick by the Giants back in 2014. He played out the final year of his four-year, $10,406,198 contract but the Giants picked up his fifth-year option last year.

Beckham stands to make a base salary of $8,459,000 for the 2018 season.

In 2017, Beckham Jr’s season was cut short when he suffered a season-ending injury. He caught 25 passes for 302 yards receiving and three touchdowns over the course of four games.
