John Harbaugh on releasing OBJ: "It just wasn't working for us"
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Giants released wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. due to limited on-field contributions and roster needs, according to coach John Harbaugh.
- Harbaugh expressed that despite hoping Beckham would get more chances in the offense, it ultimately did not happen, leading to the decision to move on.
- Beckham's inability to contribute on special teams, unlike other players such as Braxton Berrios and Charlie Jones, made it difficult to justify his roster spot.
- Injuries forced the Giants to prioritize players who could contribute in multiple phases, and Beckham had become largely inactive through the first three games.
- It appears unlikely Beckham will return to the team, as his jersey number has already been reassigned to quarterback Jake Haener.
