Giants sign Odell Beckham Jr. and JuJu Smith-Schuster to veteran minimum deals

Summary

The New York Giants have signed Odell Beckham Jr. and JuJu Smith-Schuster to veteran minimum contracts as they seek help at wide receiver due to injuries. Beckham Jr. missed the entire 2025 season, while Smith-Schuster logged only 33 receptions for 345 yards last year. With Malik Nabers' return timeline uncertain after an ACL injury and Gunner Olszewski recently suffering an Achilles tear, the Giants are being cautious with the contracts offered to Beckham Jr. and Smith-Schuster. Both players, who have had significant past success in the NFL, will earn $1.3 million if they remain on the roster for the entire season.
