The New York Giants have welcomed back wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to their roster.
The 33-year-old wideout inked a deal with the team on Monday following a visit and workout session with the organization in April.
The team has also brought aboard receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Braxton Berrios, as reported by a source familiar with the signings. The source provided information to The Associated Press while requesting anonymity since the contracts had not yet been officially revealed.
The receiver additions follow last week’s injury to wideout Gunner Olszewski, who suffered a torn right Achilles tendon during an offseason practice session. Additional concerns exist at the position with Malik Nabers working back from a right knee ACL tear, leaving questions about his availability for the September season opener.
Originally selected 12th in the 2014 draft by the Giants, Beckham played his initial five NFL seasons with the team before being dealt to the Cleveland Browns in 2019. The primary draft selection New York obtained in that trade was utilized to select defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, who was subsequently traded to the Cincinnati Bengals this spring.
Beckham sat out the previous NFL season while completing a six-game suspension related to a failed performance-enhancing drug test. During the 2024 campaign, he participated in nine contests with the Miami Dolphins, recording nine receptions for 55 yards.
The 29-year-old Smith-Schuster contributed 33 receptions for 345 yards and one touchdown during the previous season with Kansas City, earning 12 starts while playing in all 17 games for the Chiefs.
The 30-year-old Berrios brings return specialist capabilities, with his signing serving as a direct response to Olszewski’s injury.
General manager Joe Schoen and new coach John Harbaugh have continued building their receiving corps since free agency began in May. The Giants have added Calvin Austin, Darnell Mooney and Ryan Miller while re-signing Isaiah Hodgins after the departure of slot receiver Wan’Dale Robinson to Tennessee following his 1,000-yard campaign.
