Odell Beckham Jr. returns to Giants on one-year contract after absence

Summary

Odell Beckham Jr. has signed a one-year, $1.3 million contract with the New York Giants after missing the entire 2025 NFL season. Beckham's return comes after two yearlong absences in four seasons due to injuries and a suspension. Pro Football Focus believes he is positioned to regain a significant role in the team’s passing game. The Giants have also brought in veteran wide receivers Braxton Berrios and Juju Smith-Schuster as part of a concerted effort to strengthen their receiving corps for the upcoming season. Beckham, who last played for the Ravens in 2023, is expected to compete for targets alongside a young offensive lineup led by quarterback Jaxson Dart.
