John Mara: Giants Ready to Begin Contract Negotiations With Odell Beckham Jr.

Odell Beckham Jr. and the New York Giants are open to discussing a contract extension, co-owner John Mara said on Thursday.

Speaking to reporters at Giants training camp in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Mara said that negotiations with Beckham's agents will begin "sooner rather than later."

"We want Odell to be a Giant for a long time," Mara said. "We think we know what it’s going to take (to sign him). Hopefully, they agree."

After a prolific three-year start to his Giants career, Beckham appeared in just four games for New York in 2017 and missed the rest of the season due to a fractured ankle against the Chargers on October 8.
