Giants HC John Harbaugh says team will consider OBJ return

“The obvious pat answer would be you look at every option,” Harbaugh said. “And if Odell is an option, we’ll be looking at him for sure.”

At a flag football event last week, Beckham voiced his desire for a reunion in New York. When asked about their personal relationship, Harbaugh said he’s close with Beckham.

“He and I do talk. We do text,” Harbaugh said. “We’ve maintained a really great relationship. He’s one of my very favorite people in the world. It’s not like you don’t talk to guys on things like that. And certainly we have.”

Beckham and Harbaugh were together on the Baltimore Ravens in 2023, when Beckham recorded 35 catches including three touchdowns.

His career has been on shaky ground ever since, though. He’s only appeared in nine total games and was suspended six games in 2025 for a PED violation.

Following the suspension, he remained an unsigned free agent.

The amount of space on the Giants’ roster appears to be limited, with free agent additions Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin III joining their WR room. But several Giants players have already publicly expressed support for Beckham to return.

His first tenure in New York was one of the most memorable NFL tenures of the 2010s. Now, there’s at least a chance we may see Beckham make a return there.
