NFC East Notes: Giants, Beckham Jr., Eagles

The Giants remain hopeful that they will hammer out a new contract with Odell Beckham Jr., but co-owner John Mara says he won’t rush things.

I wouldn’t say a sense of urgency,” Mara said (via Brian Costello of the New York Post). “The contract will get done when it’s supposed to get done. I think that’s the Dave Gettleman line. I’m gonna adopt that I think, all spring, all summer, as long as it takes.”

Beckham has one more year to go on his rookie deal at a value of $8.5MM. After that, the Giants can realistically control Beckham via the franchise tag through 2020. Still, OBJ has been vocal about his desire for a new deal and it’s not a given that he’ll play ball if he’s franchised next year.

In his first three seasons, Beckham had more than 90 catches, 1,300 yards, and ten touchdowns. Last year, a broken ankle shut him down in October.
