Odell Beckham Jr. Worked out for the New York Giants on Monday and completed a physical examination, according to sources familiar with the session.
Beckham seeks return to team that drafted him in 2014
The 33-year-old wide receiver, who last played in 2023 for the Miami Dolphins, has expressed a strong desire to rejoin the Giants, the franchise that selected him 12th overall in the 2014 NFL Draft out of LSU.
Giants evaluate fit amid recent receiver additions
New York has added veteran wideouts Isaiah Hodgins, Darnell Mooney, and Calvin Austin III in free agency over the past month, though general manager Joe Schoen confirmed Beckham remains on the team’s list of available free agents if he makes organizational sense.
Harbaugh and current players voice support for reunion
Head coach John Harbaugh, who coached Beckham in Baltimore during the 2023 season when he recorded 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns, has maintained a positive relationship with the player and spoke favorably about him at the NFL’s annual meetings.
Quarterback Jaxson Dart and wide receiver Malik Nabers have privately and publicly indicated they would welcome Beckham’s return, with Nabers posting on Instagram to advocate for the signing.
No immediate signing expected as draft approaches
While a return remains possible, sources indicate no signing is imminent, with the Giants likely to wait until after the NFL Draft later this week to assess their roster needs before making a decision on Beckham.
Why is Beckham working out for the Giants now?
Beckham is seeking to return to the team that drafted him and has been training in Arizona this offseason, aiming to prove his fitness after not playing in the 2024 season and limited action with the Dolphins in 2023.
What factors could prevent a Beckham-Giants reunion?
The Giants have already added multiple receivers in free agency and may prioritize draft picks or younger options, with Schoen stating any move must produce organizational sense and have Harbaugh’s approval.
