Odell Beckham’s Thursday night remarks regarding Saquon Barkley prompted fans to speculate about a reunion in New York.
Barkley appeared on Amazon Prime’s “TNF in The Shop” during the Rams’ shocking victory against the Raiders. When asked where he may sign at the conclusion of his free-agent tour, he alluded to the Giants’ interest.
Beckham stated on the program, “I’ll say this, but it doesn’t mean anything” I do not believe Saquon Barkley and I were able to fulfill our duties.
Curious.
In recent weeks, Beckham’s next destination has been one of the NFL’s top stories. He has visited three teams: the Dallas Cowboys, the Buffalo Bills, and the New York Giants, with whom he spent his first five NFL seasons.
Obviously, he may be adding fuel to his publicity trip. Beckham, 30 years old, may not even sign this season. He is rehabbing from ACL surgery, and according to reports, he may not be able to play again until the playoffs. The Cowboys appear to have been deterred by his health, with owner Jerry Jones expressing his concerns publicly during his visit to Dallas.

“I wish to reside in a steady environment. Get up at 6am and depart at 6pm for four weeks, and then we can discuss it. Beckham stated, “I’ve played football for a long time.” “I’m not saying I couldn’t play in the regular season if necessary, but I don’t see the point. I truly do not. As if I would prefer play under such pressure. I prefer playing when the lights are on. Like, I went through the entire playoffs and after my first poor postseason experience, all I wanted to do was erase that from my record.”
Beckham had 531 receptions for 7,367 yards and 56 touchdowns as a member of the New York Giants, establishing himself in NFL mythology with “The Catch” against the Dallas Cowboys in his first season.
If he signs with the Cowboys, Giants, or Bills, he could be on the field as early as January. Otherwise, we may not know where the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver lands until March or later.
