Could the reunion between the New York Giants and Odell Beckham Jr. actually happen?
So far, there hasn’t been any real steam regarding that scenario outside of Beckham’s consistent teasing of the idea.
Once again, Beckham left many Giants fans hoping for a potential reunion as he revealed on social media that he recently worked out in Giants gear. The No. 13 helmet was present for one of his recent sessions.
With training camps across the league beginning this week, Beckham remains an NFL free agent. He last played for the Miami Dolphins last season.
When the star wideout sat on a stage at Fanatics Fest recently, a fan shouted out to Beckham, suggesting he should reunite with the Giants. Beckham made it clear he was open to that idea by simply responding: “I got you.”
Not even two days later, Beckham posted a photo on his Instagram with MetLife Stadium as the backdrop. In the photo, Beckham is with his son, facing the stadium he once played in. The caption read as a player who was looking back on his most fond memories as a member of the Giants, but also left the story open.
“Mannn yo daddy did some Krazy [expletive] here,” Beckham said via Instagram. “We changed the game [and] inspired a generation who came behind us. We still got more to do.”
When Beckham left LSU in 2013, he was a projected first-round pick. During the 2014 NFL Draft, the Giants called on the star wide receiver with their 12th overall selection.
Beckham would spend five seasons with the Giants. In 59 games, the wide receiver caught 390 passes for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns. He established himself as one of the biggest stars in the game, collecting three Pro Bowl appearances and multiple All-Pro awards.
In 2019, the Giants-Beckham pairing ended. Beckham was sent to join the Cleveland Browns for a few seasons. During the 2021 NFL season, Beckham was traded to the Los Angeles Rams. While he didn’t have a major impact in LA, Beckham was a part of the Super Bowl-winning squad. He suffered an injury during the big game, which sidelined him for the entire 2022 NFL season.
Beckham played for the Baltimore Ravens in 2023. He caught 35 passes for 565 yards and three scores. During his nine-game showing in Miami, Beckham caught nine passes for 55 yards and zero touchdowns.
As Beckham searches for his next team, the Giants seem to be on his radar. However, recent reports have suggested that the organization doesn’t seem to see a fit at this time.
