He had his workout Friday, why haven't we heard how it went? Who all attended? Who cares?

No way would I give him $20M per year. He should just retire if that’s his actual demand. No one will pay him that. Well, maybe the Browns will bring him back lol.

20 million is nuts. Still, how did the workout go?
He was never looking for $20M  
No1MDGiantsFan : 3/11/2023 11:57 pm : link
His last rumored want was around $11M per. Now all of a sudden it’s double? No, don’t believe those anonymous sources at all. He may be crazy but he’s not delusional. Either way if Schoen and Daboll want him then sign me up. I fully trust Joe after seeing his Jones contract.

rather see the Giants get a younger non injured wr let alone Odell can cause team issues with wanting the ball drama.
Schoen: DO NOT BRING HIM HERE!

Which of these words describe him. Smart, tough and dependable. Not sure I think any apply.

Really, who gives an F about the 2 circus grabs? There was nothing else, so far, from that workout actually showing him doing drills, cutting, working out, etc. If he were actually going to be cheap, on a prove it me deal, I'd be mildly interested. No thank you.

The only contract that makes sense for Beckham at this point, especially after this apparent non-workout, would be vet minimum + incentives, with nothing guaranteed.

To be fair, he'd have no problem getting the ball on this team. From that perspective the Giants might be his best fit.
Two tears of the same ligament.  
Reese's Pieces : 3/12/2023 10:09 am : link
Workout said to have been "explosive."

But the guy has to realize that this devalues him.

He had many lesser injuries that caused him to miss games.

Giants : 3/12/2023 10:36 am : link
He needs a few days off after the workout. His knees are weak

I trust this staff too. So far, THEY haven’t signed any free agent disasters, unlike the recent previous staffs. Unproductive free agents are worse than bad draft picks.

ThisIsMyBBIname : 3/12/2023 11:05 am : link
Team Beckham is simply starting with a high number because that is how negotiations work. I doubt Team Beckham believes anyone would sign him at that number but this is how you handle a negotiation, you come to the table with a high number and hope to meet in the middle (the number you are actually hoping to get). We can get upset but I believe Team Beckham is just doing right by its player.

PLEASE,NO,NO,NO!!
supposedly he's still asking 20m per year  
Eric on Li : 3/12/2023 11:18 am : link
which is insane. in season it was rumored he was more in the gallup range, which was expensive enough, 20m per year would be pretty crazy.
OBJ  
stretch234 : 3/12/2023 12:11 pm : link
Why it continues to bother people what athletes ask for continues to amaze me. It always has been and always will be a negotiation. Agents/players always ask high - as would every single one of us on this board.

If he wants to play he will sign somewhere. He will get offers

it's not a bother so much as apparent delusion. it doesnt matter to me what he asks for and honestly after the plane video i saw all i needed to re obj. i dont think hes a fit here at pretty much any amount.
Also reported (but not confirmed)  
Reese's Pieces : 3/12/2023 12:45 pm : link
that the Giants met with his agent at the combine.

Only certain players are afforded this right apparently.
NO! In the style of Dean Wormer -

An over 30, immature asshole, distraction, recently (and often injured) WR is no way to fix our WR room.

Well then he better go to Alaska and dig for gold cause no one
is going to meet that price. With his injuries he is nowhere near the player the Giants once had

Agreed!!
No way are the Giants paying a WR that’s had  
Simms11 : 3/12/2023 2:50 pm : link
two ACL tears to a 20 Mil a year salary! Maybe 12 with incentives, but most certainly not 20. I think the Giants will look for depth at WR now and draft that #1.

leatherneck570 : 3/12/2023 3:45 pm : link
Several teams are now in talks with free-agent WR Odell Beckham Jr., who generated a buzz with his workout in front of scouts and coaches Friday in Arizona.

Sources say there have been no negotiations yet and OBJ has made no financial demands. Expect things to ramp up soon.
Here's a clip from his workout last Friday.  
mittenedman : 3/12/2023 3:47 pm : link
Looks pretty jacked up.

Reportedly, the Giants talked to his agent at the Combine.

If Odell didn't have the two ACL tears in his left knee  
dpinzow : 3/12/2023 3:47 pm : link
I'd gladly take him back. The chances of him getting injured again are greater than even and the Giants can't take the risk, especially with an 8 figure salary

I think increased strength and muscle in the legs will help stabilize the knee and prevent future ligament injuries.
