Dave Gettleman: Giants got “legitimate value” in return for Odell Beckham Jr.

New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman said during a lively conference on Monday that the team was not actually shopping Odell Beckham Jr., but that the offer from the Cleveland Browns “was too much for us to pass up, too much value for us.”

Gettleman said that his “litmus test” was the franchise tag value. That meaning that had the Giants franchised Beckham a year ago they would have gotten two first-round picks in return had another team made an offer the Giants refused to match.

The Giants got Cleveland’s first-round pick at No.
