I see parallels between Odell Beckham and Terrell Owens.
The most important thing to remember is neither of them was ever in trouble with the law, but they did their own thing and it caused owners and teammates to have a love-hate relationship with them.
TO during his prime was one of the two best wide receivers in the league with Randy Moss. When Odell Beckham is healthy he is considering a Top 3 receiver in the NFL. The Giants though sound real close to moving on from him. Here is what their owner had to say.
“I’m tired of answering questions about Odell’s behavior and what the latest incident is,’’ Mara said at the NFL owners’ meetings at the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes Resort. “I think he knows what we expect of him, and now it’s up to him.’’
“It wasn’t helpful,’’ John Mara told The Post and another media outlet earlier Sunday, when asked how the video affects the expectations the Giants have for Beckham.
“Angry? No, I mean, more disappointed than angry,’’ Mara said. “I think too often he allows himself to get put in bad situations and he needs to use a little better judgment.’’
Could Mara foresee Beckham not being with the Giants this season? He paused before answering.
“I can’t answer that one way or the other,’’ Mara said. “We’re certainly not shopping him, if that’s what you’re asking. When you’re coming off a season when you’re 3-13 and played as poorly as we played, I wouldn’t say anybody’s untouchable.’’
As far as Beckham unless the Giants show him the money he isn’t planning on showing up for training camp.
From @gmfb: My understanding is that #Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr will not set foot on a field without a new contract extension agreed to — with the #Giants or any team. … This comes a day after owner John Mara said no one is “untouchable” in trade talks.

This is probably either going to end badly or they will work it all out, but stay tuned. Reports are Giants want a 1st round pick and something else in a trade. If you are a contending team might be something you want to look into.
