Giants Pull the Plug on the Odell Beckham Jr. Reunion Tour
Jordan Schultz reported the release, noting OBJ 'has not been featured much despite earning a spot on the team.'
The . reunion tour in has officially been canceled before the band even got to play the hits.
According to Jordan Schultz, the are releasing the veteran wide receiver in what is being called a mutual parting of ways. Beckham simply was not getting featured in the offense, so both sides decided it was time to pull the plug and let him find a better situation.
It is objectively hilarious to call this a mutual parting when you look at the state of 's offense. Beckham literally shed tears after making the 53-man roster this summer, talking about wanting to win a Super Bowl for the franchise. A month later, he is walking away from a team that just managed a blistering 12 points in a brutal loss to the on Sunday.
If you cannot find snaps in a unit that considers a dozen points a hard day of work, the writing is not just on the wall. It is painted in neon.
The wild part is that Beckham is actually healthy right now. For a guy whose medical chart reads like a medical textbook—featuring two torn ACLs, a fractured ankle, and a laundry list of soft-tissue issues—being fully cleared in late September is a minor miracle. He even got his old No. 13 jersey back, but the fairy tale ended the second actual football started being played.
For anyone holding Giants offensive futures or weekly player props, this clears up a tiny bit of the depth chart clutter. It does absolutely nothing to fix a passing game that looks completely stuck in the mud, but at least there is one less mouth to feed on the sideline.
Now Beckham hits the open market looking for a contender that actually throws the football forward. He is strictly a luxury piece for a playoff team at this stage of his career, not a savior. Expect him to latch onto a roster with an established quarterback in the coming weeks, while the go back to trying to score two touchdowns in a single afternoon.
