The Giants are still involved in trade discussions with Odell Beckham Jr., according to a source who spoke with Jeff Howe of The Athletic (on Twitter). We’ve been hearing conflicting reports on OBJ’s availability, but it appears that one of the league’s best wide receivers remains is on the block. 
The Giants, we heard, would not seriously entertain offers unless they were “overwhelmed” by another club’s pitch. But, at the same time, head coach Pat Shurmur was fed up with OBJ’s antics at times last year. OBJ drew the ire of team brass in 2018 when he openly questioned Eli Manning and the club’s quarterback situation.
Dave Gettleman gave his Odell Beckham Jr. party line at the combine, but nothing can be ruled out after Antonio Brown – this generation’s most dominant wide receiver – was traded to the Raiders. Brown’s lucrative extension with the Steelers did not preclude a trade and it’s believed that the Giants will approach OBJ talks with a similar mindset.
Following an injury-plagued 2017 campaign, OBJ managed to reel in 77 catches for 1,052 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games last season. If he stays healthy and has the right pieces around him, it’s not hard to imagine OBJ getting back to the exceptional form he exhibited from 2014-2016.
I would love to see OBj Kittles and Pettis all together on the 49ers. That be one talented offense
Agreed, and would be able to focus strictly on defense in the draft
He can be YOURS for the low price of a 4th and a 5th round pick!
Doubt it if AB could get a 3rd round he would at least get that if not better since he not even 30 yet
I think a lot better. AB wanted out and forced the Steelers hand. They were desperate to get rid of him. He acted like an ass completely trashing the team. The trade was always going to be in the other teams favor. Giants however do not need to get rid of Beckham.
sounds like a steal honestly
What’s the cap hit going to be for NY if they make this trade?
$16 mil in dead cap for this year…save like, $4 mil or thereabouts…so depending on how you look at it, you’re paying $16m to watch him play for someone else, or you’re shaving $4m off what you were gonna pay no matter what.
Honestly, as a Giants fan I feel like they might kind of have to trade him at this point. If SF dangled the #2 pick….or maybe their 2nd round pick this year, and next year’s #1…..
They aren’t paying him that 16mil. this year if they trade him. That is just dead cap space they can’t use.
There was an “expert” [read: somebody who is speculating] 2 weeks ago saying they’d swap this year’s 1st round picks, the 9er 2nd round pick and next year’s 1st rd pick for OBJ. I would love to do that trade.
How is that determined as far as who is taking the cap hit? Does have to do with roster bonus? And if they trade him do the Giants only take a cap hit for this year?
This is all complete bullshit until someone has an actual source other than some rando blogger looking for clicks.
Last year the Rams were all over him. Should have taken their offer when you had the chance. They wont do Cooks dirty and trade him for a 3rd year in a row.
9ers!!
Steelers offer their 3rd and 5th picks acquired from the Raiders.
Why would anyone want his remains?
Niners
It’ll take one first…or 2.
Hell might as well trade him to Oakland lol
Giants let most of their defense go, they don’t have a QB ready to take over so why have a great WR with no hope of winning? Trade him for the best package and rebuild.
