Odell Beckham Jr. has been eyeing an NFL comeback with his former team, the New York Giants, during this offseason.
Beckham Jr. was traded from the Giants to the Cleveland Browns in 2019, before he joined the LA Rams and won a Super Bowl in 2022.
Since the biggest accomplishment of his career, however, Beckham Jr. has struggled to find a new team, with failed stints with the Baltimore Ravens and the Miami Dolphins. But a return to his first team seems like a real possibility now.

Odell Beckham Jr. impresses with Jaxson Dart chemistry at New York Giants training camp
According to Giants reporters Art Stapleton and Jordan Raanan, Odell Beckham Jr. has been very impressive in his training camp appearances with the New York Giants.
In particular, his latest training sessions saw him show great chemistry with Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, completing four catches with two being thrown by Dart.
Beckham Jr. has been described as ‘on the roster bubble’ by Raanan, meaning that he is being considered very seriously to make the Giants’ final 53-man roster for the 2026 season.
Despite Beckham not impressing John Harbaugh during his stint with the Ravens in 2023, it appears the New York Giants coach might give him a chance next year.
After yesterday’s training session, Odell Beckham Jr. spoke to reporters about the opportunity to earn his way back onto the roster and how he thrives under pressure.
“I kinda like it. My boy texted me, he said, ‘This is where you thrive.’ That pressure, I live for… To me, I feel like if we were just messing around playing horse, or not playing for $100, I might lose.
“But you put $100 on there, then hypothetically, I want to step up for the bigger moments. I definitely put pressure on myself to make plays.
“This is the conversation I had with Coach [Harbaugh] before I even came here. He was like, ‘You know, I have a really good relationship with you. I don’t want you to come here and then something happens, and you don’t make the team…’
“I said, ‘I can literally be getting up, leaving my home, and giving my best effort. And if it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out.’ I couldn’t live with me feeling like I gave up on myself.”
Beckham Jr. is clearly hungry for a chance to return to the NFL, despite achieving a lot in his career. At just 33 years of age, the former All-Pro WR still has a lot he can contribute.
If Beckham Jr. earns his way onto the roster and begins delivering as he did during his best years, the Giants will be one of the biggest threats in a stacked NFC East.
