John Mara: Odell Beckham Jr. contract situation not top priority

New York Giants star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. skipped the club’s OTA’s this offseason but reported for Big Blue’s mandatory minicamp.

Many people thought Beckham was trying to make a statement as he gets ready to enter the 2017 season under his rookie contract, which will only pay him $1.5 million this coming season.

Giants’ owner John Mara made a radio appearance this week and stated that getting a new deal for Beckham is not their top priority.

“There’s always a chance, but it’s not our No. 1 priority right now,” Mara said after appearing with Mike Francesa on WFAN, via Newsday.
