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
but I can't deny that the prospect of Lamar Jackson and Odell Beckham Jr. running loose in opposing secondaries next fall doesn't intrigue me just a scotch.
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.
don't want to upset the apple cart with OBJ's histrionics every time he doesn't get a ball thrown his way. Maybe he'd say all the right things and behave for a while, but feel like it would still be a matter of time before he threw a hissy fit over something
I'm happy to hear some of this chatter the Giants are actively looking for WR help, of course
I want to warmly embrace a new era of Giants football
Right now.
This team is decimated at WR.
You have 4 WR on this roster that are hurt or can't see the field in Robinson, Golladay, Toney, and Slaton.
We are running out guys that should be on a practice squad and we have a bad TE group to boot.
Giving OBJ a shot hurts no one. They have to figure out how to improve this group or it's going to be a long season.

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.
I was all for getting rid of him and he's not a long term piece, but he's in a humbling position and we need competent receivers to keep our backfield healthy. We don't want to get into a position where defenses are teeing off on the run game and Daniel Jones' limitations.
Want to offer the absolute minimum but I'm not sure if even that is possible with out cap situation.
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!

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.
The Giants do NOT want OBJ here. He is the last thing a team in the beginning of a rebuild need on their roster.

On top of the fact that we have been one of the worst teams injury wise and we want to add a guy coming off his 2nd ACL tear.. PASS..

If he did come here it wouldn't be with a big cap commitment. I'm and "why not" with anyone we bring in at WR. I bet he'd be better than Golladay.

Please let us not return to discussing Odell Beckham every day. That juice isnt worth the squeeze.
Bachman isn't that young, actually. He's bounced around the league for a few years.

And worse, some of you would actually want this?

All he has to be is better than Golladay and Sills.
We saw how long it took Barkley to get back to normal. Seems odd to look at this guy seven months from an ACL minus all his shenanigans!

Think of all the fun boat rides.

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

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
