Odell Beckham Jr. just took the first step toward linking back up with the New York Giants, hitting their facility for a workout and physical this week. The 33-year-old wideout, who they drafted 12 overall 12 years back, showed up Monday and word got out quick through reports from the New York Post and NFL Network. Beckham kicked off his pro career with five solid seasons in Big Blue before a trade to Cleveland in 2019.
Last year, he sat out with a six-game suspension for a performance-enhancing drug issue, then suited up for just nine games with Miami this season, hauling in nine catches for 55 yards. The Giants could really use his experience right now, especially with top receiver Malik Nabors nursing a torn ACL from late September. He might miss the opener. They lost slot guy Wanda Robinson to Tennessee after his 1,000-yard breakout, but they added free agents like Calvin Austin, Darnell Mooney, and Ryan Miller, plus brought back Isaiah Hodgins for depth.
That original trade for Beckham netted New York a key draft pick they used on defensive tackle, Dexter Lawrence, who just got shipped to Cincinnati over the weekend. No official word yet on a deal, but this workout keeps the door wide open. If OBJ lands back home, it could spark that receiver room just in time eyes on the Giants as training camp heats up.
