I'm told #Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) will attend voluntary OTA's, per source. The #Giants begin Phase 3 of the offseason conditioning program Monday, May 21st. Beckham will show, even as the star receiver & the team have yet to come to terms on a contract extension.


Jordan Raanan said he’s been in constant contact with coach Pat Shurmur. Laying the groundwork in hopes of his new contract.

Sounds good

hopefully people can relax now
Great news

Good to see Odell doing all the right things
This iwill get as much attention  
The Dude : 5/18/2018 12:23 pm : link
it would if he didn't show up to OTAs right?

And i thought he wasn't taking the field without a new deal?


And i thought him to the rams 5yrs 100 mil was a done deal?
keep in mind he's likely still limited  
giants#1 : 5/18/2018 12:33 pm : link
also the faster he shows the giants the injury is behind him and won't hamper him, the faster he gets his extension.
It's a smart move by OBJ.  
DonnieD89 : 5/18/2018 12:34 pm : link
He needs to show the Giants brass that his ankle is not an impedance, so he can sign a big contract.
It's easy to show up  
QB Snacks : 5/18/2018 12:35 pm : link
when you're physically unable to participate. The whole point of not showing up is to avoid injury. Since he cant get hurt this really is non news.

My guess is if he were 100% he wouldnt show. And I'd do the same if I were him.
Most newsworthy part of this IMO is the note Schurmer  
mfsd : 5/18/2018 12:41 pm : link
is talking to him regularly. With all caveats that it’s mostly meaningless at this point, I take that as a good sign

Good. One less thing for people to have a meltdown over.
It's nice to see a young player

Getting the right guidance and making smart decisions
This shuts the media down and makes those click bait reporters look stupid with their past stories

They'll find a way regardless.
I’m sure some idiots here will find a way to spin this

Both sides can win here  
AnnapolisMike : 5/18/2018 12:55 pm : link
Beckham can get paid and secure his future and not play on a $8M one year contract. Giants in return can get him at a slightly below market price.
Shurmur and Gettleman  
Nysportsfn13 : 5/18/2018 1:00 pm : link
are already doing an amazing job culture wise with this team.
trade him while his character is high

This is in line with what I sent you privately about Odell.

He really likes Pat and the plans for the offense.

This is the key factor, his contract will gain momentum, when he is evaluated as healthy and they see what he can do on the field. The injury really complicated things on both sides unfortunately.

Both sides this offseason have handled this contract situation as well as any of us could have hoped IMO.

I love all the incendiary comments from the pro-Beckham crowd already on this post. It's no wonder OBJ threads always turn into shit-shows.
just so pathetic  
hitdog42 : 5/18/2018 1:18 pm : link
the attempt of the people to create a narrative that didnt exist--- and never own up to just making crap up.

I'm sure you didn't intend it that way, but it's just funny to think that there should need to be a special interest group that's "pro-Beckham" as if it's a strange thing to be in favor of employing a ridiculously talented player.

where exactly are all these "incendiary comments"?

maybe i missed the thread you are referring to....
Is Raanan reporting this?

If so, I hope he got it right for once...

The fact that there are actually Giants fans that aren’t “pro Beckham” or whatever other stupid term you want to use to describe fans that root for a Giants player speaks volumes about those other fans.

And judging by your post, are we to assume that you are “anti Beckham”?
Amongst the sea of solid moves by Gettleman/Schurmur this off season  
Stu11 : 5/18/2018 2:30 pm : link
not the least of which is smoothing things over with OBJ. At the beginning of the off season this seemed to be a quick building storm that really could have negatively affected the whole organization.
For all his windbaggory  
djm : 5/18/2018 3:28 pm : link
Michael Kay was going on about how so many of the ESPN talkies and writers make shit up, stir shit up or predict crazy shit because they will never be held accountable or have to answer to anything. He actually said ESPN people.

This Beckham situation is just another in a long line of examples where there wasn’t a story, only made up nonsense meant to generate heat.

Where are those talkies now? No one cares.

really? I didn't get that impression at all.

What are you basing this (impending storm) off of?

That’s not surprising. He held out of training camp last year and missed the first two games because of it, yet we barely heard a peep about that either.
Good news.

It's the cycle. Beckham's name makes people money, so stirring up shit and speculating randomly fills time.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 5/19/2018 10:37 am : link
Good news. That's all I got to offer.
Are there Giants fans that are not "pro-Beckham"?  
Mike from Ohio : 5/19/2018 10:44 am : link
I understand thinking the guy is a pain in the ass at times and immature, but are there Giants fans that actively root against him improving and getting past that?

I know there are some fans that believe he is more of a colossal headache than a colossal talent, but are those same folks actively rooting form him to implode so they can be seen as right?
Anti-Beckham?

Good sign that he is showing up

But the big question is he still the same OBJ, looking for the $$$ he is lookjing for . Doubt it but hope i am wrong.
Well, if he can't get a contract  
Gregorio : 5/19/2018 6:16 pm : link
with the Giant's maybe he can give the Mets some help with their offense.
