New York Giants' Joe Schoen: Talks with Odell Beckham Jr. will 'continue'

New York Giants GM Joe Schoen says there is "no update" on Odell Beckham Jr. and that talks with his representation will continue.

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen indicated Thursday that discussions with free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. remain ongoing following a recent workout. "No updates on that," Schoen said.

"We worked him out a couple of weeks ago, and he did a good job in terms of that. We signed a couple of new defensive tackles yesterday, so weโ€™re going to continue to always work on the roster regardless of the position and try to upgrade where we can. "Odell is a guy we had in for a workout, and we'll continue to have conversations with his camp and see where it goes.

" The comments come amid roster adjustments and injuries at wide receiver. Malik Nabers continues to recover from a torn ACL and could potentially miss the start of the regular season, while Darius Slayton recently underwent core-muscle surgery but is expected back for training camp. Beckham, who impressed during his April workout and physical with the Giants, has hinted multiple times on social media about a potential return to the franchise that drafted him in 2014.

Head coach John Harbaugh, who previously coached Beckham in Baltimore, has also maintained conversations with the veteran receiver. A reunion could provide veteran leadership and depth to a young receiving group as the Giants build for the future.
