Odell Beckham, Giants close to mega contract 5-year extension | Will be highest paid WR?

After more than a year of talk about a holdout, a trade or a franchise tag: Odell Beckham's future with the Giants is nearly settled.

The uncertainty and negotiating ploys are over as the Giants and their star are close to a five-year contract extension that will make him the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL, according to NFL Network. NJ Advance Media has not confirmed the report.

Beckham will have the highest annual salary for a wide receiver in NFL history, topping Antonio Brown of the Steelers ($17 million on a four-year deal).
