Star Giants wideout Odell Beckham Jr. is featured in a potentially disturbing video clip that was leaked on Friday while Beckham was on a Nike-sponsored trip in Europe, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. As Raanan writes, the clip is seven seconds long and shows Beckham in a bed holding what appears to be some sort of brown cigarette or cigar. The video also shows a woman next to Beckham holding a credit card, and there is a powdery white substance aligned in rows nearby.
Needless to say, this video has emerged at a very inopportune time for Beckham. After reportedly seeking a $100MM+ contract before the 2017 campaign got underway — and given how productive he had been in his first three years in the league, those ambitions did not seem unreasonable — Beckham managed to play just four games in 2017 due to a broken ankle, which cast his chances of landing a record-breaking extension into doubt. Nonetheless, he is still hoping for a lucrative long-term deal to come his way this offseason, as he is set to play out the 2018 season on his fifth-year option, which will pay him $8.5MM.
The Giants, of course, have a new GM and head coach, both of whom have indicated that they are in Beckham’s corner and want him to be with the club for the foreseeable future. Team ownership has never wavered in its desire to make Beckham a Giant for life, but Big Blue was surely hoping that Beckham had moved past his ankle injury as well as his past enigmatic behavior, and this video will not help matters.
ESPN has been unable to confirm where or when the video was filmed, but the NFL and the Giants are aware of its existence. Both the league and the team have declined to comment beyond that, and Beckham’s camp has not returned requests for comment.
He’s such a genius.
I hat the guy. Too bad he is coming off the injury because the Giants could have really got a lot in return for him.
*hate
If I ever need a brain transplant, I want Odell Beckham, Jr.’s because it’s never been used.
Perfectly said, he is an idiot
La cocaina
old video
Who cares? Let’s not pretend something like THAT would deter a single one of these morally corrupt teams from signing this guy. As long as he can still catch a ball… otherwise this would be the “reason” why he’d be passed over.
If all it was was a joint I’d agree, but when the white powder comes out teams would certainly move on.
Trade him no receiver is worth 20+ mil a year, he has missed 17 games in 3 years, he is good for 1 stupid penalty a year, then the off the field stuff… the giants are rebuilding getting pucks for him is far better then over paying him to be on the sidelines.
He will never reach maturity. Is he really worth all his baggage.
Certainly not last year
I don’t get the big deal. Cocaine is pretty awesome. Blunts are cool too. And pizza is just is the best!
Add a hot chick and a hotel room, and it sounds like the recipe for a great night. I don’t expect millionaire 20somethings to be perfect a hundred percent of the time. People need to chill out.
So I love you!
And your name is great!
Branson!
Bonehead is what bonehead does!
That wasn’t a cigar that was a blunt
And you have facts to support that statement ??
Who cares
