John Mara hopes the New York Giants are able to sign Odell Beckham Jr. to a long-term contract.

"I hope so," Mara said Tuesday at the 25th Anniversary Gridiron Gala held by the United Way of New York City.

"I wouldn't say sense of urgency. The contract will get done when it's supposed to get done," Mara said. "I think that is the [general manager] Dave Gettleman line. I think I'm going to adopt that. All spring, all summer, as long as it takes."

Beckham has been at the Giants' facility for a good chunk of the team's voluntary offseason workout program to date.
