  "account": "The New York Giants have released wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. after just three games, according to an AP source. During his brief stint with the team, Beckham did not record a single catch. The 33-year-old was targeted only once during his brief return to the Giants, who drafted him. Initially, coach John Harbaugh suggested Beckham would see a larger role, but fans' chants for Beckham's name during Sunday's game against Tennessee did not materialize into action. The release comes after the Giants acquired quarterback J.J. McCarthy from Minnesota. They also released Jake Haener, with plans to bring him back to the practice squad.",
