EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Odell Beckham Jr. just may have that financial security he so desperately desires before the start of the regular season.
The New York Giants and their star wide receiver have made progress on what is expected to be a record-breaking contract, sources told ESPN, and there is reasonable optimism from both sides that a deal may get done by the start of the season.
The Giants open against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 9 at MetLife Stadium.
Beckham, 25, has been looking for a new contract as 10 of the other 12 receivers selected in the first two rounds of the 2014 draft have received new deals within the past year.
