Beckham Departs Giants
New York Giants and Odell Beckham Jr. Mutually Agree to Part Ways
Anonymous
The New York Giants and Odell Beckham Jr. are parting ways in a move described as mutual, ending the receiver’s brief return to the team that drafted him in 2014. Beckham, 33, appeared in three games, playing about 20 offensive snaps and recording one target with no catches. He rejoined the Giants on a one-year deal but sat behind Malik Nabers, Darnell Mooney and rookie Malachi Fields in the receiver rotation; the move gives him a chance to seek a team where he may have a larger role. The decision comes amid other changes to the Giants’ offense, including quarterback Jaxson Dart’s season-ending injury and the acquisition of J.J. McCarthy.
