Odell Beckham Jr. is returning to where his NFL career started.

The New York Giants signed Beckham, the team announced Monday.

The LSU product spent the first five seasons of his career in New York after the franchise selected him in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He rose to stardom as a rookie and posted at least 1,300 yards in each of his first three campaigns from 2014-16. Injuries and controversies eventually led the Giants to trade Beckham to the Cleveland Browns in March 2019.

The 33-year-old wideout also reunites with head coach John Harbaugh in New York. Beckham spent the 2023 season with the Ravens during Harbaugh's tenure in Baltimore.

The three-time Pro Bowler sat out the 2025 season, during which he received a six-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy.

Beckham will take a smaller role in his second stint with the Giants. Malik Nabers leads the receiving corps but is currently working his way back from his second knee surgery. New York signed Braxton Berrios to a one-year deal to provide depth after Gunner Olszewski tore his Achilles during OTAs.
