NEW YORK -- Giants co-owner John Mara is happy these days.
He's happy the team landed the consensus best player in the draft in Saquon Barkley and happy that star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was in attendance for the start of the Giants' offseason program and first minicamp.
Beckham, 25, wants a new contract. He's set to play for $8.5 million on the fifth-year option on his rookie deal.
Mara said he is hopeful that Beckham will remain a Giant for many years.
"I hope so," he said Tuesday at the 25th Anniversary Gridiron Gala held by the United Way of New York City.
