Can you imagine Odell Beckham Jr. catching passes from Tom Brady?
That’s almost what happened last year, believe it or not. According to a new report from Chris Simms on “PFT Live,” the New York Giants were extremely close to dealing their superstar receiver to the New England Patriots. Ultimately, the team had a change of heart and elected instead to keep Beckham around, signing him to a five-year, $95 million contract extension last August with $41 million fully-guaranteed.
If that seems like a rapid about-face to you, you’re probably not alone. Anyone who’s seen Beckham play on the field over the past five seasons since he entered the NFL can understand why any team would want Beckham on their roster.
