Odell Beckham Jr. says Giants "gave me the run along"

Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. expressed frustration on social media following his release by the Giants, stating he was misled regarding his status and could have been contributing elsewhere this season.

Giants coach John Harbaugh defended the roster move as a purely tactical decision necessary for special teams depth, pushing back against outside speculation about the timing and reasoning behind the parting.

Beckham now looks toward potential opportunities with other franchises for the 2026 campaign, though any interested club would bring him in without the benefit of prior offseason or training camp preparation. The veteran wideout barely secured a spot on the initial fifty-three-man roster back in August and likely avoided an earlier cut only due to an injury suffered by teammate Calvin Austin III.
