Giants' Brian Daboll Doesn't Deny Odell Beckham Jr. Rumors: Always Trying to Improve

Could Odell Beckham Jr. return to where it all began? It's possible.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll didn't deny interest in the free-agent wide receiver on Friday when asked about the rumors linking him to the team.

"We're always trying to improve our roster in any way that we can," Daboll said, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News.

Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reported Monday that Beckham was "in the building ... doing a little visit with the Giants." However, The Athletic's Jeff Howe later reported that he was "hanging out with some Giants players" and wasn't there to meet with the team.

It's unclear if Beckham would be interested in a reunion with the Giants. Earlier this week, he appeared to suggest that his ideal landing spots include the Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams, Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens.

Beckham has also been linked to the Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints in free agency.

The 29-year-old began his career with the Giants, which selected him 12th overall in the 2014 NFL draft out of LSU. He spent five seasons with the franchise, earning three Pro Bowl selections and the 2014 Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.

Beckham's best season with the Giants came in 2015 when he caught 96 passes for 1,450 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games. He appeared in 59 career games with the franchise, posting 5,476 receiving yards and 44 touchdowns.

The Giants traded Beckham to the Cleveland Browns ahead of the 2019 season. He spent two and a half seasons in Cleveland before an unsettling divorce between the two sides led to him being traded to the Rams during the 2021 campaign.

Beckham appeared in eight regular-season games for the Rams last season, catching 27 passes for 305 yards and five touchdowns. He caught 21 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns in the playoffs before tearing his ACL in the Super Bowl.

While a return to the Rams—or Giants—could be in the cards for Beckham, it seems like he is keeping his options open.

Bills linebacker Von Miller, who is good friends with Beckham, said earlier this week on Richard Sherman's podcast that he could see the veteran wide receiver suiting up for a new team.

Beckham is not expected to return from his ACL recovery until around Thanksgiving, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
