Odell Beckham: Everything you need to know

Beckham is slated to sign a one-year contract with the Giants after working out with the team Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Beckham will return to New York and compete for a depth role at wide receiver alongside Calvin Austin, Malachi Fields and Isaiah Hodgins, with Darius Slayton (abdomen) and Darnell Mooney being the top candidates to join Malik Nabers (ACL) in three-wide sets. The 33-year-old veteran last played with the Giants from 2014-18 and has since logged stints with the Browns, Rams, Ravens and Dolphins. His last regular-season action came in 2024 with Miami, when he was limited to nine catches for 55 yards across as many appearances. Beckham doesn't boast the skill set to fill the void on special teams left by Gunner Olszewski's season-ending Achilles injury, though to that end Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that New York also plans to sign Braxton Berrios.

Beckham will work out for the Giants on Monday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports. Beckham and the Giants have been in contact for a series of months, and a possible reunion between the two parties seems to becoming more and more likely. The wide receiver spent the first five seasons of his NFL career with New York, and he last played in 2024, reeling in nine of 18 targets for 55 yards over nine games with the Dolphins. The Giants just lost Gunner Olszewski (Achilles) for the season, and Beckham could provide the team with an additional veteran option at wideout in 2026.

Giants head coach John Harbaugh said Saturday that the team will "play it out over the next month and into training camp" before making a decision on potentially signing Beckham, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports. Harbaugh said Beckham is "looking good" after working out for New York in April, and that he's spoken to the 33-year-old free agent "a lot, probably three of four times in the last week." Previously, Beckham worked with Harbaugh in Baltimore in 2023, when he totaled a 35-565-3 line across 14 regular-season appearances. Beckham then logged only nine catches for 55 yards with Miami in 2024, and he didn't suit up for NFL action in 2025. The Giants have added rookie third-rounder Malachi Fields to a WR corps already housing Malik Nabers (ACL), Darius Slayton (abdomen), Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin, so Beckham would likely have to compete for a roster spot if he did reunite with the team that selected him in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. New York may also wish to monitor the recovery progress of Nabers and Slayton this summer before extending Beckham a potential offer.
