Odell Beckham Jr. has spoken out after being released by the New York Giants just three games into his return to the team. Beckham expressed disappointment at his lack of opportunities on the field, receiving only one target in three games. He suggested that the Giants may have used his return for publicity while not utilizing him effectively. Despite his release, Beckham believes he still has the ability to make an impact in the NFL and regrets returning to the Giants on a veteran-minimum deal. The Giants’ head coach cited lack of production as the reason for Beckham’s release, emphasizing team needs over individual popularity.
