Just talked to a team that is convinced if someone makes the Giants the right offer, Beckham will be traded and Beckham has a very short list of where he wants to go.
"Teams have absolutely called and talked to the Giants and they've taken the calls and had conversations... They're certainly listening, but their asking price right now is ridiculous for him." @JayGlazer with the latest on the Giants and Odell Beckham Jr.

I didn't buy my lunch to sell it.
"I'll give you $5 for it."
I didn't buy my lunch to sell it. Smells good though, doesn't it?
"I'll give you $10 for it."
I didn't buy my lunch to sell it. And it's gonna taste really good.
"I'll give you $100 for it."
Sold!
Either someone offers you the moon and you take it, or you don't trade him.
The absolute worst thing NYG can do right now is send Beckham somewhere in a "get rid of him" deal for unequal value. Gettleman will lose me immediately if he does that.
Because this year's 2nd and next year's 1st from San Francisco would go a pretty long way in reshaping this franchise, plus moving out a guy who doesn't really want to be here.

evidence Beckham doesn't want to be here, in fact he seems to love NY. He's a HOF caliber talent. You don't trade that kind of guy for a few picks just because. You need to be blown away.
that ESPN interview was as pointed as it gets as far as sports interviews go.
He said he feels the Giants are holding him back from reaching his potential, that he should be getting 20 targets a game and feels like his numbers should be double or triple what they are.
Is not sure he wants to play in cold weather in New York, prefers the warm climate of LA.
When asked directly if he wanted to be in New York, he answered: This is where I'm at.
tear it down to bare minimum and that doesn't seem like the plan at all. This looks like "rebuild on the fly". That plan may be dubious, but there's no indication they're tearing it down.
Alternately, they could offer a herschel walker level overwhelming offer, but that's really unlikely too.
also, Mike Lombardi doesn't know shit.
I get that you guys like Beckham but there is more than just smoke....
that he prefers to be somewhere else. I'd revisit that interview.
Or, we can just listen to things he said since - but I know how it goes, we'll just assume nothing has been said to the contrary since.
Certainly nothing like this...

If it took that for us to come together as a team, like we did today, I can take that every single time.
If it took that to get us going, Im trying to be a leader. This is a position that Ive never been in. Im trying to grow. Im learning on the fly. But, Im proud of where we went today. We gave it our all. We came [back] against adversity, and calls here and there. We can never rely on the refs to win the game, but there were calls here or there that were questionable, and we kept fighting. We kept fighting. Thats all I could ask for.
Maybe he's just tired of fucking losing like everyone else.
maybe he's tired of a geriatric, rapidly declining QB

I still like him, but that interview really pissed me off. Can't imagine how Giants brass reacted.
I think he gets one last chance. If he does something again, they'll trade him (just a guess)
don't want OBJ traded, but acknowledge the problem has always been compensation. The Giants want more than any team is willing to offer. That has been known since last season.
If a trade does not happen, does Beckham have the emotional maturity to handle a. the rumors that he was on the block, and b. another season rebuilding.
Can he handle that? Apparently 90 million wasn't enough last year to satisfy him.
RE: I get that you guys like Beckham but there is more than just smoke....
BUT - I'm starting to come around to it.
If the Giants pick #2 (from SF) and #6 they will have a chance to reshape the entire organization moving forward.
It would also make this year's draft the most interesting in Giants history (maybe).
(I posted this on the wrong thread earlier -sorry - jeez, then I did it again! I need more coffee)
Do the Giants take 2 edge rushers and re-define the defense and give it an identity? Do they take a QB and a RT and get the offense set for the next 5 years and fix the defense next year when Eli is off the books? Do they take an edge and RT? A edge and a QB?
It would certainly make this draft very interesting.
"and Beckham has a very short list of where he wants to go."
Unless he has a trade clause, it doesn't really matter where he wants to go, and we shouldn't take it into consideration.
Personally, while not giving him away, I wonder if it would be worthwhile lowering our demands? If he's just going to be a jackass, and if we're not likely to win this year, and if he becomes a likely trade next year, maybe we should just get on with rebuilding the team now.
Click bait. Click discussion. nothing new in either.

What choice does he have?
He can play or not. He signed a contract.
The choice that he has is he can make life miserable for the Giants organization and fans.
This isn't a rumor. The Giants are not shopping OBJ, and unless some team is stupid enough to overwhelm the Giants with an unsolicited offer they might listen.
Well, it is a done deal now. Micky, based on your insistence that Reese wasn't going anywhere, when you make a proclamation, then the likelihood of the opposite occurring is a safe bet.

By doing what? Complaining?
A team that lets a player hold them hostage has no one to blame but themselves.
If he makes a huge deal, bench him. I don't care. He'll figure out that he can either play football or sit on the sidelines and not. Up to him. My guess is he'll want to play football.
I really wish this would go away.

Win-win.
Win-win.
Doesn't want to be here? Did you talk to him?
Consider who you're talking to, one of the true dim bulbs of BBI.
Ignore it.

Bingo
The guy wants to win, and knows its not happening here.
He signed here. No one forced him to.

even if he does, who cares what he wants?
