Things haven’t gotten done yet in free agency for former NY Giants star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., as he’s still waiting for the right offer to be put on the table. Earlier in the offseason, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk dropped quite the report, stating that OBJ was looking for around $20 million per season.
Seriously? Countless people couldn’t believe it. Neither could Beckham, as he took to Twitter to shoot down that report. However, in the process, Beckham sure made it seem like a team may have reached out to his agents and told him the ballpark would be about $4 million. That’s not going to get it done for Beckham either.
I’m just so confused where the quote is from me tht said I want 20…..😭🙄all I’m sayin is 4 AINT enough

Odell Beckham Jr. is still looking for the right deal in free agency
Beckham didn’t mince words there, as he’s not going to give anyone a discount. There’s people still hoping that Giants general manager Joe Schoen will get something done with No. 13, but after the team inked Parris Campbell and re-signed Darius Slayton to a two-year deal, the door feels all but closed there.
Beckham had been linked with a potential move to the Dallas Cowboys as well, but after Jerry Jones went out and traded for Brandin Cooks over the weekend, a move to America’s Team won’t be going down either.
So, where could he land? Teams like the Chiefs, Browns, Jets and more have been mentioned as possible destinations, but nothing is expected to get done in the near future. Beckham is staying patient with his free agency, as all he can do is wait and see what happens next.
After his recent workout in Arizona, a lot of experts believe it has only raised his price tag. We all know $20 million won’t be the number, but $4 million won’t be it either. Only time will tell who puts enough dough in front of Beckham to get him to put the pen to paper.
