Giants Seek At Least Two First Round Picks For Odell Beckham Jr.

Mar 29, 2018 12:36 PM

The New York Giants are seeking at least first round picks in exchange for Odell Beckham Jr. The Giants insist, however, they are not shopping Beckham in trade talks.

There have been reports that Beckham would not play this season without an extension, while another report indicated the Rams were pursuing a trade for him.

"Neither Odell nor his agent have contacted us regarding either report," Gettleman said Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings. "So to be clear: I'm not going to respond to questions about either report, and as I stated earlier, every decision I make is going to be in the best interest of the New York football Giants."

While there have been some off-field issues with Beckham, he has been widely considered a good teammate and a hard worker.

"The kid works his fanny off," Dave Gettleman said. "His [ankle] rehab is going terrific. He sends us pictures, sends us a video about him running. He's an excellent worker."

Odell Beckham Has Reportedly Told Rams Players He'd Welcome Trade

Mar 28, 2018 2:09 PM

It remains to be seen if the New York Giants have real interest in trading Odell Beckham, Jr., but it's clear that the Los Angeles Rams would like to acquire the wide receiver.

According to a source, Beckham has told a few Rams players that "he wants in." The report, from the New York Daily News, is vague. It could be that he wants to remain with the Giants, but if traded, would be interested in the Rams and young quarterback Jared Goff.

Any interested team would likely want to sign Beckham to a long-term extension. He's entering the final year of his contract at $8.4 million.

Rams Discussing Odell Beckham Jr. Trade With Giants

Mar 26, 2018 4:47 PM

The Los Angeles Rams have approached the New York Giants about trading for Odell Beckham Jr.

Beckham lives in Los Angeles in the offseason.

The Giants are asking for a first round pick plus additional assets. The asking price is not believed to be two first round picks.

Snead is one of only two GMs who have made trades already with Dave Gettleman as Giants GM, and the other is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Jason Licht, who just re-signed his own wideout Mike Evans to a megadeal himself.

Beckham doesn’t have a no-trade clause, but his familiarity and affinity for the area could help him acclimate better than he would in other markets.

Giants Won't Rule Out Trading Odell Beckham

Mar 26, 2018 8:11 AM

John Mara says the New York Giants are not ruling out the possibility of trading Odell Beckham in the wake of a viral video that was posted on social media earlier this month.

Mara said there is a "possibility" that the Giants will let Beckham play in 2018 on the final year of his rookie contract.

"I can't answer that one way or the other," Mara said when asked if the wide receiver could begin next season with another team. "We're certainly not shopping him. Again, when you're coming off a season when you're 3-13 and played as poorly as we played, I wouldn't say that anyone is untouchable."

Beckham's future in New York has come into question following the posting of a seven-second clip to social media that showed Beckham in a bed next to a pizza holding what appears to be some sort of brown cigarette. There was a woman next to him with a credit card and what looks like a white powdery substance aligned in rows.

Nate Solder: Shame On Me If My Money Only Helps My Family

Mar 19, 2018 11:55 AM

Nate Solder signed a four-year, $62 million contract with the Giants.

Solder has a two-year-old son who is suffering from kidney cancer. Solder is also a survivor of testicular cancer.

“I think it's a shame on me if the money only helps the Solder family," said Solder. "My belief is that this money has been entrusted to me not for the personal comfort and security, but for an actual impact that we can have on our community and the people around us. I'm just such an imperfect person—I'm going to make mistakes, so I have to rely on Jesus. We have all through our suffering with our son and everything that goes on in life, so we have to do the same thing with our rejoicing and when things are going well, we have to rely on him. … It's nothing about us having a bigger house, a nicer car, anything like that. So shame on me if it's just about us.”

Mar 19, 2018 8:40 AM

Eli Manning receives a $5 million roster bonus from the New York Giants for being on the roster on the fifth day of the 2018 league year.

There was some doubt about both the bonus and Manning's future with the Giants when he was benched in favor of Geno Smith on December 3. However, Manning has been the team's unquestioned quarterback since Ben McAdoo and Jerry Reese were fired.

Manning turned 37 on Jan. 3.
