It’s apparently not just fans, paparazzi and burned defenders who know what it’s like to follow Odell Beckham.
One NFL team hired a private investigator to keep an eye on Beckham this spring when the Giants suggested they were open to listening to trade offers on their mercurial wide receiver, according to an ESPN feature on Beckham’s journey to his record payday. On Monday, the Giants made him the highest-paid receiver in the league with a five-year extension worth $95 million with $65 million guaranteed.
Beckham’s future looked much murkier five months ago when Giants co-owner John Mara said “nobody is untouchable” on the current roster after a miserable 3-13 season.
