If the Giants thought Odell Beckham Jr. was trouble, they are going to have a real fun time with the guy they traded him for.

Security officials working for the NFL were forced to go to cops in Cleveland and ask for police reports on newly minted Giant Jabrill Peppers — just to make sure he wasn’t being investigated for murder, according to a report.

A league security representative asked the Cleveland Police Department for documents stating that Peppers — a punt returner who the Giants got for Beckham in a trade two weeks ago — isn’t a suspect in the killing of a homeless woman who may have stolen a gun from his car, Cleveland’s News 5 reported.
