According to a few reports, he is off on a tour to meet up with his potential suitors. And it kicks off at his former home, the New York Giants.
The Giants’ head coach Brian Daboll has not aired out the meeting between him and the superstar, revealing that the team is already having talks with the former Super Bowl winner while they have revealed this much to the public.
The HC playfully danced around, giving any solid clues as to the result or contents of the meeting. “I know you guys will have a lot of questions about Odell. Here’s what I’ll say,” answered Daboll. “We had dinner with him last night [Thursday], a good visit, and other than that, I have nothing else to add. I’m focusing on Washington. We had a good dinner. Great steak.”
Is Odell Beckham Jr. inclined toward the Giants?
As per the experts, the Dallas Cowboys are the frontrunners for the player. However, according to SNY reporter, Connor Hughes, Beckham Jr. wants to return to the Giants. He said: “For some reason, it feels like something is drawing Odell and the Giants together.”

Saquon Barkley and Sterling Shepard have both shown a strong connection to the superstar. With Barkley even admitting that they don’t need to tweet at OBJ. Instead, they have a direct line with the 30-year-old himself. However, the WR still remains on the road to meeting with other teams as well. New York was just a start.
Since the player started his career in the NFL with the big blue, it is certainly understandable why he would want to return to a place he has already spent a lot of time at. The team is currently 7-4 in the league, hanging on to that wild card game.
While they look like a strong contender for the playoff berth, it is hard to imagine them going any further than that. And with OBJ still not back from the injury, it is hard to calculate the impact he might have.
