'Family reunion!': Saquon Barkley tweet hints at OBJ-Giants reunion

Speculation abounds about where free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. might land. One team that hasn't been connected to the former star, the New York Giants, was brought into play when running back Giants RB Saquon Barkley tweeted a response to Beckham on Friday.

Ain’t nothing better than a family reunion!!

Beckham, who started his career with the Giants in 2014, has found success during stops with the Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Rams, including a Super Bowl with LA last season. Although injuries have slowed him, Beckham is still a capable receiver who could help a team make a playoff run.

Beckham's spectacular 2015 catch lives on in YouTube clips and on social media. But with the Giants sitting at 5-1, adding a 29-year-old receiver coming off knee surgery doesn't seem to make sense.

Many believe that the Giants were the clear winners in the trade that sent Beckham to Cleveland for for first- and third-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft and safety Jabrill Peppers.

The trade came seven months after Beckham signed a $90 million deal with the Giants.

If the Giants win their game at Jacksonville on Sunday, don't expect them to catch the OBJ wave anytime soon.
