EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – With great wealth comes great responsibility.
That is the new reality for Odell Beckham Jr. He is set to become the highest-paid offensive non-quarterback in NFL history with the five-year, $95 million extension he’s receiving from the New York Giants.
It hasn’t come easily. Beckham is one of the last wide receivers from his 2014 draft class to be rewarded with a new deal. Some of the wait was self-inflicted; some of it was simply the Giants way of doing business and wanting to make sure that the ankle he broke last year wasn’t going to be a problem.
