Overview
- The New York Giants released Odell Beckham Jr. on Tuesday after he appeared in three games during his June reunion with the team.
- Beckham recorded zero catches, one target and played only six offensive snaps in Week 3, evidence media and former coaches used to question his on-field role.
- NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported the decision was mutual and intended to allow Beckham to find a team that can give him more playing time.
- Beckham rejoined New York on a one-year, $1.3 million contract in June and made the 53-man roster but saw his opportunities narrow as the Giants adjusted their offense.
- The roster move follows the team’s pivot toward a heavier run attack after QB Jaxson Dart suffered a season-ending injury and leaves Beckham a free agent able to pursue new chances.
