Odell Beckham Jr. Returns to Giants on One-Year Tryout Deal

Signed to a non-guaranteed veteran-minimum contract, Beckham must prove his health and earn a roster spot during OTAs and training camp.

Overview

  • The Giants signed Beckham to a one-year, veteran-minimum deal with no guaranteed money after a tryout, a move reported Monday that gives the team low-cost depth.
  • Beckham has been taking part in Giants OTAs and practice sessions this week, with multiple practice videos showing him running routes and connecting with quarterback Jaxson Dart.
  • Head coach John Harbaugh said the signing is separate from Malik Nabers's ACL recovery and that Beckham will have to show he can perform at a game-ready level.
  • Beckham faces stiff competition for snaps and saw limited first-team reps in early practices, so making the 53-man roster will depend on his conditioning and durability.
  • Once a four-time 1,000-yard receiver, Beckham has played just 23 games over the past four seasons and missed 2025 after a six-game PED suspension, so his return offers veteran leadership but uncertain on-field value.
