Giants Release Odell Beckham Jr. After Three-Game Return

The team called the split a mutual move to free Beckham to seek more playing time following QB Jaxson Dart’s season-ending injury.

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.
