Report: Odell Beckham Jr. to meet with Giants, Cowboys after Thanksgiving

by

Things are starting to get serious regarding free-agent receiver Odell Beckham Jr….

And it does not involve the Bills (7-3) to this point.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Beckham will have free-agent visits with the Cowboys (7-3) and Giants (7-3) after Thanksgiving Day. Ironically enough, those two teams play each other on the holiday as well.

On Nov. 9, an update stated that Beckham could be cleared for football this past week. If he’s meeting with teams, that’s likely true.

However, Beckham to the Bills takes a hit because of his desire for a long-term contract. He’s said on the record multiple times he does not want to sign a one-year deal.

According to Spotrac, the Bills have approximately $139K in salary cap space. That’s the second least in the NFL.

By comparison, the Cowboys ($7.9 million) and Giants ($3.8M) could easily offer more.

But the Bills and general manager Brandon Beane have been known to get creative. Never say never….it just doesn’t seem like the Bills are amongst the favorites for Beckham’s services at this this time.
