Odell Beckham contract: Both sides worked to make historic deal happen

Odell Beckham Jr. has been setting records since he entered the NFL in 2014. Now, he has a record-setting contract to go along with it. Beckham and the New York Giants have finalized a long-awaited mega-contract.

There was a time back in the offseason when it looked like this deal, which both sides have seemingly wanted for a while now, might not happen.

Back in March, there were reports that the Giants — perhaps tired of the drama and distractions that have surrounded Beckham since he was the team’s first-round pick in 2014 — were open to the idea of trading the superstar wide receiver rather than paying him.
