The winding road of Odell Beckham Jr.'s career has led him to where it all began. Eight years after being traded out of the Big Apple, the veteran wide receiver has struck a reunion with the New York Giants, inking a deal with the team on Monday, according to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones. The team has since made the signing official.
This comes after a workout with the franchise earlier in the day and marked the second time this offseason that he worked out for the Giants. This time, it's resulted in him putting pen to paper on a contract that'll bring him back to East Rutherford.
Of course, Beckham spent the first five years of his NFL career with the Giants after the franchise selected him with the No. 12 overall pick at the 2014 NFL Draft out of LSU. Instantly, Beckham established himself as one of the most electrifying players in the NFL, notching 1,305 receiving yards in what resulted in an Offensive Rookie of the Year-winning campaign.
Beckham posted three straight seasons of at least 1,300 yards receiving to begin his career and only fell off that stellar pace in 2017 due to injury. He came back in 2018, after signing a five-year, $95 million extension that offseason, and topped 1,000 yards in 12 games played.
The following year, the Giants and Beckham went their separate ways, with New York trading the three-time Pro Bowl wideout to the Cleveland Browns. That began Beckham's pilgrimage around the league. After two and a half seasons in Cleveland, the pass catcher forced his own release and later signed with the Los Angeles Rams, who went on to win Super Bowl LVI. Beckham began that Super Bowl on a tear, catching a 17-yard touchdown, but suffered a torn ACL later in the contest, which knocked him out of the eventual win.
More recently, Beckham has been a depth piece on various rosters. After not playing in 2022 while rehabbing his knee injury, he signed with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023 and then spent 9 games with the Miami Dolphins in 2024. The 33-year-old did not play in 2025, but was suspended for six games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
The Giants also signed veteran WR/kick returner Braxton Berrios to a one-year deal on Monday.
