Beckham Returns to Giants but Must Earn a Roster Spot in Camp

The club used non‑guaranteed veteran‑minimum deals to add experienced receivers while Malik Nabers rehabs and will decide final spots in padded practices.

Overview

  • The Giants re-signed Odell Beckham Jr. this week to a veteran‑minimum contract worth up to $1.3 million if he makes the roster, with no guaranteed money tied to the deal.
  • Team reporting from late July shows Beckham is explicitly on the roster bubble and must prove he can match game speed and offer situational value in padded practices to stick.
  • New York already projects five receivers as essentially locked — Malik Nabers, Darnell Mooney, Darius Slayton, Calvin Austin III and rookie Malachi Fields — leaving limited openings.
  • Nabers’ recovery from a torn ACL and meniscus, including a spring cleanup procedure, is the main wildcard that could temporarily open a roster spot during early games.
  • By signing multiple veterans to non‑guaranteed deals the Giants prioritized low financial risk and on-field competition, forcing established names to earn roles or face cutdown exits.
