Odell Beckham Jr. lit a fuse in an interview with ESPN this week. Whether it helps the team explode offensively or detonates the locker room will be determined on the field against the Panthers on Sunday afternoon.
In the wide-ranging interview, Beckham told ESPN’s Josina Anderson that he doesn’t feel he is being used to his full potential, thinks opposing defenses are out-scheming the Giants, declined to say whether or not Eli Manning is the root of the team’s offensive struggles, and would not say he is happy being in New York with the Giants. This less than two months after the wide receiver signed a five-year extension with $65 million guaranteed and a potential for $95 million.
