Odell Beckham Jr.'s Giants Comeback Cut Short After Three Games
The veteran wide receiver was released by the New York Giants on Tuesday, ending his brief second stint with the team.
Odell Beckham Jr.’s return to the New York Giants has concluded after only three regular-season games, as the franchise released the veteran wide receiver on Tuesday.
The decision brings a premature end to the 33-year-old's second period with the team in East Rutherford.
NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported the mutual nature of the parting, stating that the move allows Beckham an opportunity to join a team in a more advantageous position where his skills can be better utilized.
Beckham had signed a one-year deal worth $1.3 million with the Giants in June, marking an emotional reunion with the franchise that originally selected him 12th overall in the 2014 NFL Draft. However, he was only utilized for six offensive snaps across the team's opening three games, indicating a low position on the depth chart.
