The Giants traded Odell Beckham Jr. away for a variety of reasons and none of them had to do with his immense talent. Much of it had to do with weighing how much his ability as a receiver balanced with the distractions he created and the annoyance factor he injected into the front office and coaching staff.
The final conclusion was the Giants felt they were better off moving on without him and agreed to a deal with the Browns that brought back two draft picks and safety Jabrill Peppers.
It was a business decision that certainly had some personal feelings attached to it.
