Odell Beckham Jr. comments on Giants release: 'Gave me the run [along]'

Odell Beckham Jr. addressed his release from the New York Giants in an Instagram post on October 3. The 33-year-old receiver accused the Giants of using him for money, expressing that it hurt him when the team cut him. Beckham said he was "super smart" but didn't see this coming. He emphasized that he joined the Giants humbly, earning his spot and not complaining about the money, which he acknowledged could provide for many.

The hardest part of his release was his son not knowing about the situation, as his son continued to talk about his father's job. Beckham also lamented that he could have made an impact for another team but was only given 20 snaps and targeted once before his release. He remains unsigned but plans to continue searching for an opportunity to continue his NFL comeback as the 2026 season begins.
