The Giants and star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. have opened contract negotiations on a long-term extension, according to a report from ESPN's Jordan Raanan.
Last week, Giants owner John Mara revealed that the two sides would "soon" begin negotiating a new contract for Beckham as he enters the final season of his rookie deal.
According to Raanan, the goal for both sides is to have a new deal signed by the time the regular season kicks off on Sept. 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars at MetLife Stadium, removing what could become a distraction.
