Trading Odell Beckham Jr. was always going to receive massive backlash from fans and analysts alike, but New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur believes the deal was worth it, despite losing a generational talent.
New York Giants HC Shurmur stated on Tuesday:
“We’re building,” Shurmur said at the NFL Annual League Meeting. “Obviously Odell is an outstanding player, but it’s business. I really believe we got good value in return.”
The Giants trade Beckham for the No. 17 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft and former first-round pick safety, Jabrill Peppers.
