| 0:21.6 | O'Dell Beckham Jr. was scheduled to have a workout today, and he did. And he wasn't the only one. The Giants brought in a handful of wide receivers, and this is the second time O'Dell Beckham Jr. how to work out. And you could tell yesterday that O'Dell Beckham really wants to be a New York giant. He was interviewed by the New York Post. I guess it was at the Brian Byrne celebrity softball game. He was there. And O'Dell talked about how much he loved being a New York giant. This is where you play it, Rosie. Very soon. And it feels great. You know, it's a place I never wanted to leave. And it's just a special place in my heart, just to see all these big blue jerseys. Just hoping for the best. He wants to come back. Yeah, he's practically begging. And as of right now, he's not coming |
| 0:38.0 | back because the Giants, if you just heard, as Rosie said about 15 minutes ago, it's in breaking news. Braxton Berrios, the former Jet, the former Patriot, is signing a one-year deal with the Giants. So does this mean that it's over? Let's stop thinking about Odell Beckham Jr.? No, I mean, again, before the |
| 0:53.8 | Gunnar Olshevski injury, the Giants |
| 0:56.1 | at least had enough interest to have Odell |
| 0:58.0 | Beckham Jr.? No, I mean, again, before the Gunner-R-Elshevsky injury, |
| 0:55.4 | the Giants at least had enough interest to have Odell Beckham Jr. workout, what was that? Two weeks ago? Yes. So they brought him back. Now they had the Gunner-R-L-Shefsky injury, and they happened to sign a guy who's the same profile as Gunner-Rol-Shevsky. So I do wonder. Why? Because they're both white guys? |
| 1:08.3 | No, they're... |
| 1:08.7 | Is that what you meant? |
| 1:09.6 | Returners. |
| 1:10.2 | Oh, I got you. |
| 1:10.7 | You loser. |
| 1:12.3 | My point is... |
| 1:13.1 | I don't know what you meant. |
| 1:13.8 | I was trying. You loser. |
| 1:12.4 | My point is... |
| 1:13.1 | I don't know what you meant. |
| 1:13.8 | I was trying to get clarification. |
| 1:25.7 | While they all worked out together, was this always a situation today where you kind of felt like the Giants were going to come away signing one guy? Or was it almost like a different profile? Hey, they're all receivers. We know we need something at a pot-A here. |
| 1:27.0 | And O'Dell, is that still alive? |
| 2:37.4 | And let's be honest, the Berrios contract is probably a lot easier to get done than O'Dar O'Don-Decum-Junier deal because the Giants probably could cut Braxton Berrios at the end of August. Why can't they cut O'Dell Beckham Jr.? You can, but you know how this goes. Is O'Dell Beckham Jr. going to agree to a deal where he knows, hey, listen, at the end of this, you might be Amatity tumor with the Chiefs or Victor Cruz with the Bears where you make it out of August. We don't want any hoopla. You could get caught. And I don't know if there's certain guarantees Odell needs a deal. Oddly, isn't this similar, though? Like, they're flirting with him openly. John Harbaugh confirmed a while ago. Yeah, I love Odell. Bob, blah, blah. Odell's had two workouts. Odell's at the charity softball game yesterday. Odell in that clip talks about how much he loves the Giants. Like, this public flirtation between the Giants and Odell Beckham Jr., isn't it the same thing as signing him and then cutting him in August? They haven't signed him yet. They're openly flirting with him. Or is it really Odell openly flirting with him? And the Giants kind of find themselves in a spot where they don't know how to say no. Well, John Harbaugh was at a press conference a few weeks ago and said, we're interested in it. He didn't have to say that. That was his decision. All right. He also told us he was interested in Rex Ryan. He spoke to him. Was he really interested or is it just kind of, eh, let me just throw over. I think John Horpe was interested in everything. I think that's what we're learning. |
| 2:53.8 | How much interest do you really have? And can you really hold a wide receiver workout with the antenna side of Brexton Berrios and tell O'Dell, by the way, we're not bringing you back to work out there too? I just wonder if that's what this is more of. So they have no interest in O'Dell? Is that what you are, your sources are telling you? You're a giant insider, Sean. |
| 3:08.2 | I've gotten zero source on this. I was under the interpretation talking to people who were at this softball game on Saturday that, again, this felt like more Odell vibes. Odell to the Giants felt more likely after the gunner injury than it ever had. Now we get the burials news. I just, no sources interpreting this. I don't think O'Dell Beckham Jr. is going to be a giant. Because I think you'd want it done now before the start of this mandatory minicamp at the end of the week. And if you're signing Berrios and the same workout O'Dell signed in, I'm sorry. How much, like you said, how much more complicated can this contract get? I'll phrase it a little bit differently. Do you want them to sign Odell Beckham? A lot of giant fans do. |
