It’s no secret that the Giants are shopping wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who could be available via trade — for the right price.
The Giants tried to keep OBJ happy by awarding him with a five-year, $99 million contract roughly two months ago. The hefty deal made Beckham the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history.
It doesn’t appear that the money did all that much for Beckham’s psyche, though, as he’s still had a few sideline tantrums, and has also made some negative comments about the team.
Most importantly, though, OBJ just hasn’t really been all that productive on the field — at least by his standards. He’s scored only two touchdowns so far this season, but does have 785 receiving yards.
As such, the Giants may want to look to move Beckham — while they still can get a sizable haul in return. The team could potentially receive two first-round draft picks, and that would go a long way for the team’s rebuilding of its roster. OBJ was asked about the trade rumors following Sunday’s loss to the Redskins, and he had this to say:
“I don’t think I’m going anywhere,” Beckham said. “This is where I’m at. All I want to do is be the very best that I can be, off the field, when I’m on the field. It’s really hard to think about that. It is what it is.”
