Why dost thou speaketh thus? The Giants can still rip that up and sign a longer term deal with Beckham.

window makes sense. I doubt there will be an extension or new deal here after that.

What? So we only want Beckham for when Eli is playing? We wouldn't want a good WR for the next QB?

My belief is that he will be signed to a long term deal well before it gets to that. Maybe even this summer.

Not in the least. Makes complete sense to pick up the option.

The no-brainer would be to extend him now before camp starts.

True enough but it takes two sides to agree to a deal.

Well, one poster at least. I'm still waiting to hear from you how OBJ is going to "really f*ck us." Do you think he'll interfere with your master plan of only playing rookie QBs in perpetuity?

Hopkins is getting $7.9M for 2017, so that's the baseline. Might be considerably more though ($8.5-9M) because a bunch of WRs have signed big extensions over the last 2 years, including Brown's recent deal.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?
So option for '18 and franchise for '19  
TJ : 4/24/2017 3:28 pm : link
That means 2 seasons at rookie deal scale and one year of big money but no security. Seems like Giants could reasonably expect to save a few bucks by offering a new deal at the end of this season. Raises some questions though.
How long can a contract be written for?
Is it ever in a team's interest to forgo 2 years of 1 year deals even if the franchise year has a big cap hit?
What's it worth to a player not to have to wait 2 seasons for his big signing bonus and no promise past the current year?

Les in TO : 4/24/2017 4:08 pm : link
will retire a Giant (or least will play most of his prime years as a Giant). there is no way the giants will ever let him leave. on top of being a jerry rice level talent, he is the most exciting player in the league.
The Giants will get to his contract in 19 and not before  
AnnapolisMike : 4/24/2017 5:33 pm : link
They control him for two more years. To sign him to a long terms deal early is too risky. See Cruz and Nicks if you disagree.

Headache to who? Old, self righteous fans? I'm thinking those headache issues probably have more to do with the case of Pabst Blue Ribbon and 16 shots of Mr. Boston vodka during the games than the angst that the best WR that has ever played for the team is giving you. But whatever gets you through the day...

David in LA : 4/24/2017 9:14 pm : link
the comments you're getting riled up about are tongue in cheek.
The way OBJ went off on twitter...  
Milton : 4/24/2017 9:38 pm : link
...makes me wonder if there wasn't some verbal agreement on a long term deal to be announced after the draft. Otherwise I'm not so sure why he should be so excited to learn that they picked up the 5th year option. All it does is keep him under contract for another year at a salary which is much less than his free market value.

I think there's a very good chance that OBJ gets a long term extension this spring or summer. Is it better than a 50-50 chance? Hard to tell. Too many unknowns to consider. But there is a reason that the CBA allows for contract extensions after three years and it's so players who have significantly outperformed their rookie contract can be paid accordingly. And who can argue that OBJ hasn't significantly outperformed his rookie contract?
I'm not seeing anything in his tweets that stands out  
Ten Ton Hammer : 4/24/2017 10:39 pm : link
. Why are we interpreting it at some kind of contract related rant?
