A potential New York Giants and Odell Beckham Jr. reunion has been making the rounds over the past couple of weeks as the former star receiver was thought to be in line for a return. But so far, nothing has materialized, and we are still early in the offseason, so a move could still be made.
John Harbaugh stated via Pat Leonard that the move has to be right for both sides, and I can make the case that the Giants should say thanks, but no thanks, on an OBJ reunion. Firstly, he hasn't played since 2024, so what sort of player would the Giants be getting? Secondly, with Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, Darnell Mooney, and Calvin Austin III, who would OBJ replace?
In my mind, none of them, and that's the problem. Would Odell be an upgrade on any of those weapons?
