NFL team hired private investigator to follow Odell Beckham when Giants were open to trade

Think all of the questions about Odell Beckham's antics are a media creation?

Well, at least two NFL front offices disagreed with you as recently as this spring.

The Giants were open to trading Beckham when co-owner John Mara clearly was frustrated with his star's behavior, and one interested suitor took extraordinary measures to do due diligence.

One NFL team hired a private investigator to track Beckham and see if drug-use rumors stemming from a viral Twitter video were true, according to ESPN's Seth Wickersham. The investigator's findings set off no alarms, per the report.
