Not disparaging OP btw.
Odell Beckham (Adam Hunger / AP)
FICTION: Trading Beckham is financially impossible.
If the Giants trade Beckham, they will eat a $16 million dead money charge against their 2019 salary cap. That’s the number. Write it down. Anything else you hear is false. And while this isn’t ideal, there is precedent of Gettleman doing this just last spring: he ate $15 million in dead money in 2018 to trade Jason Pierre-Paul to the Bucs. The only major difference is that former GM Jerry Reese signed JPP to his big contract; Beckham’s deal is Gettleman’s.
That said, there's not way we should take that kind of cap hit.
It is more likely to happen next year, if it happens at all.
