Kimberly Jones of NFL Media is reporting that the Giants are picking up the fifth-year option of star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
The @Giants are picking up Odell Beckham Jr’s fifth-year option. I’d guess announcement before start of draft Thursday. Deadline is May 3.

This was a no-brainer for the Giants and was expected.
This means that Beckham’s rookie contract will now expire after the 2018 season instead after the upcoming 2017 season.
Anyone who thought the Giants would let Beckham’s contract run out after this year is delusional.
