NYG Rumors and News
@NYGRumorMill
Per source: WR Odell Beckham has been in contact with Giants front office at least once within the last few weeks. There is mutual interest for him to return. #TogetherBlue
Sign him to a 1 year prove it deal. Sell him on a Giants return and the new Daboll / Kafka offense. Then tell him that any bullshit will result in his immediate release.
Old and has a injury filled history. Why bother other than nostalgia? Giants need to see who can stick for this year, next, and years after. In a case like Jihad Ward where he's a leader and plays minimum? Sign me up but Odell won't do either.
He wants to turn back time to those good feelings at the beginning of his career and if Daniel Jones looked enough like Eli Manning for the Giants front office maybe that's good enough for OBJ too!
RE: I don't see how a WR room (pardon the expression)
and no longer the player you remember fondly, fwiw.
If he can be the player he was for the Rams last year (which is no lock given the knee injury) then he still would be good enough to start for this team, given the paucity of better options.

OBJ doesn't have to be the player he once was to start for this team.
Think of it as Murcer coming back to play for the Yanks in '79.
A "nutter?" Based on what? Rams teammates seemed to really embrace him. Any way, if there really is some interest, I'd trust Schoen and Daboll to make an assessment of how much he has left and if he'd fit into the culture they're building.
He was on the team for three months. Nobody doubts his ability to behave himself in the short term when things are going good. It's what happens when things aren't going so good that we start to worry.
OBJ may not be blinding fast anymore, but he always excelled
at releasing off the line and had really good hands – except for the Green Bay playoff game. So he might be more useful than several of our current group, depending on the price.
Highest payroll in the league for WR's and we're still FaceTiming/beating the bushes for more help there. Thanks, Getts. I don't want to hear about any 'foundational pieces' salvaging his rep (a couple out of the dozens of choices he's had in four years is dumb luck), even if Thomas (or, gasp, Jones!) shines through his second contract.
that people still buy into this crap. Odell got hurt in the SB. Not in training camp or very early in the season. He also has a long history of injuries. There is very good chance Odell doesn't see the field this season for any team.
I would rather give playing time to our younger guys
with a future. We are not winning the SuperBowl anyway
What young guys are you talking about?
Robinson is hurt and Toney and Slaton can't get on the field.
Sills is 26 years old and a JAG.
Richie James is 27 years old JAG.
And obviously we know what Shep is and 29.
Problem is we have no young upcoming guys to develop at this point and we have very little to work with.
If it's not OBJ, this team needs to look to improve this group because currently unless they get Toney and Robinson up to speed and on the field this is the worst WR group in the league.
Bringing in a Diva to a team that has young talent playing hungry doesnt seem like a good play. I think he could do more arm tan good. I also dont think he will offer that much in the actual games, look ow long it took Barkley to get back to where he is.
I guess if he wants the league minimum which I doubt we could bring him on board but I dont think its a favorable move. This team needs stability, Id rater play with wat we have.
which he has fully embraced, plus life with his partner, has humbled him.
He mentioned a month ago a reunion might be. Of course the ‘ show me da’ is not a surprise, but it also comes with the territory.
There is also a rumor BD has been FACETIMEing with FA WRs , which is not a surprise either.
If OBJ can get medical clearance for a Tryout Tuesday, why not?
Worst he can do is fail.
Worst we can do is spend a couple hours finding that out.
but that doesn't mean he couldn't contribute. Offer him a contract with limited guarantees, and if he becomes more of a distraction than he is worth, then cut him.
Golliday had a fit because he was used for blocking, can you imagine OBJ? NYGiants so far is not some air attack scheme. We just need a few WRs without stone hands. OBJ at Browns was horrible, couldn't run routes and does all the street ball BS not fitting the Daboll scheme
he played well in the championship and SB, but was absolutely terrible for 16 games prior. People just think of the Super Bowl and forget that he played 8 games for the rams racking up 30 yards a game. He did the same for the Browns before being released. No thanks

Kind of a bad take. He joined the team late and obviously it took chemistry to build up but you could argue he was their best player in the postseason and he definitely was the wr looked to the most by Stafford on key 3rd downs throughout the playoffs. He was on his way to winning a superbowl MVP before he got hurt.
And he won them their game against the Ravens toward the end of the regular season and I think had td's in each of his last 3 regular season games. He wasn't just along for the ride.

I'll agree about the SB and greatly disagree with everything else. He literally had half the yards and a third of the tds Kupp had in the playoffs. Beckham caught a grand total of 5 third down passes. Kupp had 10. His improved play made him a very distant 2nd to Kupp in the playoffs.
I stand by what I said. He played very poorly with the Browns before being booted and then played poorly with the Rams up until the playoffs and really wasn't an impact until the championship.
Golloday and Toney had one iota of the passion and drive Beckham played with we would not be having this discussion. I’d kick the tires with Beckham recognizing we aren’t getting the 2016 version. At least he’s got a heart
He wants to turn back time to those good feelings at the beginning of his career and if Daniel Jones looked enough like Eli Manning for the Giants front office maybe that's good enough for OBJ too!
Think of all the fun boat rides.

He has two, possibly three tines in his back right now.

And worse, some of you would actually want this?
Jesus H.
No, I don't believe this is true. Especially considering the (Twitter) source.
But why the Hell would I not want to take a flyer on him at a good price?
if thats the case, this is a perfect fit

Say it was true. What year and what price? Keep in mind the current Giants cap situation, who you'd cut, bench, etc.
Because right now, if Daniel Jones tries to step up into the pocket, he will get crushed by our lineman flying backwards on roller-skates.
if thats the case, this is a perfect fit
That job is already taken by the Jones haters on bbi.
no issues with him i think he has matured
can we afford him?
we sure need wr help

More mature? Yes, he is 4 years older. Is he more stable? Who knows? He is a husband and/or father so maybe he isn’t a “me, me” player.

with his personality joining Toney and Golladay has a chance of working out.
Think of all the fun boat rides.
Hah!

Thank you for saying what I was thinking! I'd take Odell any day of the week instead of that horrible Gettleman mistake Golladay!
I'd actually give Owens a tryout. I'll bet at 47, Owens is faster than Golladay is right now! (In this 2021 article, Owens claimed he ran a 4.4!).
