The New York Giants are set to release wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr just a few months after his return to the team.

Beckham Jr signed with the Giants in the offseason, marking his return to the team that drafted him into the league. Selected 12th overall in the 2014 NFL Draft, the former LSU Tiger spent his first five years with the team.

However, his comeback was far from meaningful as he failed to record a single catch in the first three games of the season with just one target.

Beckham's best performances in the league came with New York as he reached the Pro Bowl in each of his first three years. During his first stint at MetLife Stadium, he played 60 times across the five seasons, scoring 44 touchdowns. He made the playoffs in his third season as they lost in the wildcard round.

He then spent the next two and a half seasons with the Cleveland Browns, playing in 29 games and scoring eight TDs. In the second half of the 2021 year, the 33-year-old joined the LA Rams, winning a Super Bowl with them. He played a part in the success, finding the end zone seven times in 12 appearances.

Beckham's most recent teams were the Baltimore Ravens (2024), and Miami Dolphins (2025), where he made the postseason with the former. Now in his 11th year in the league, the wider receiver has played in 129 games, with 604 receptions, 8,337 receiving yards, and 62 total touchdowns. 

The Giants are 2-1 after the first three weeks despite losing quarterback Jaxson Dart to a season-ending knee injury.
