Giants Give Odell Beckham Jr's Jersey Number to Backup QB
Former New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s jersey number has found a new owner.
New York Giants released Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Tuesday, ending their three-year reunion with the team. Beckham, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, wore No. 13 jersey throughout his five-year tenure with the Giants, from 2014 to 2018, and during his two-plus seasons with the Cleveland Browns, 2019 to 2021. He also wore No. 13 while playing for the Los Angeles Rams, Baltimore Ravens, and Miami Dolphins.
Beckham joined the Giants in June for their season-opening active roster but barely saw playing time in the team's first three games. Despite his limited involvement, the number 13 remains part of the Giants' practice attire as backup quarterback Jake Haener has taken over the starting role.
