You and Tiki were more against it, but if they're doing their kind of investigation work on him by seeing how he responds to a workout and they deem him worthy, like, why would you be against it?

0:10.3

Can I present an alternate theory?

0:11.6

Of course.

0:12.5

Before I, whether I'm against it or not, there's a lot of smoke around the New York Giants in Arizona statewide receiver Jordan Tyson over the last couple of days.

0:20.5

Like this thing has picked up explosion momentum that they might take Jordan Tyson fifth overall.

0:26.6

While it is reported, the Saints and Chiefs really want to add a wide receiver and a guy like

0:30.6

Jordan Tyson.

Is it possible the timing of this a couple days before the draft that the Giants bringing Odell Beckham, Jr. for a workout and extending this way is also just assigned to the league of how serious they are about adding a wide receiver, trying maybe to dare the chiefs or saying, all right, we're going to take Tyson if you don't come up and trade with us and trade out of the fifth overall pick. But you think working out a veteran like Beckham who was basically out of the league

five minutes ago would warrant anyone doing anything like that? Again, I understand why this theory is far-fetched, but think about this. If the Giants worked out almost any other receiver, is it gaining attention and making people notice? No, I think the Beckham then gains attention because of his kind of relationship with China fans. I mean, he was, I think he was pretty overrated, but if you don't mind me saying, but I think he's beloved by giant fans. I respect that. And he had a pretty good career. Yes, and look, at his peak, I think it was him and Antonio Browner were the two best receivers of football, but it was a very short-lived peak. So if it comes out tomorrow that the Giants have signed O'Dell Beckham Jr., your initial reaction would be what?

1:30.3

Is there any guaranteed money? Nah, probably not. Then ultimately, I'm going to live with it and be fine with it, but it doesn't move me in any way. I don't think it should move you. It's the equivalent of a minor league invite in spring training. It's just you got nothing to lose kind of move. Here's, I will say this. The Dexter Lawrence saga has turned me more to be positive about signing Odell Beckham Jr. from this standpoint. At least the guy wants to be here. At least the guy wants to be a giant. And I think if I've learned anything over the last two weeks, there's something to be said for that. And, you know, again, I live with it. But if the Giants are counting on

2:03.3

Odell Beckham Jr., a year... think if I've learned anything over the last two weeks is there's something to be said for that. And, you know, again, I live with it.

2:02.1

But if the Giants are counting on Odell Beckham Jr., a year removed from not playing any football to be a significant contributor on this team, then you might as well pack up the bats and balls and understand that this is not going to be a great season. All right. Give us a Cinco de Luncho on this fine Tuesday. Sean Moresh in the booth, somebody hide the castle.
