The New York Giants finally found a spark in Week 4, but it came with a gut punch. After opening the season 0-3, their worst start since 2021, the Giants snapped the skid with a 21-18 win over the Los Angeles Chargers at MetLife Stadium. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart made his debut as the starter and delivered a much-needed lift. Just when it felt like the team had remembered how to win, disaster struck.

Star wideout Malik Nabers went down with what’s feared to be a torn ACL, an injury that could end his season before it even really began. That loss leaves a massive hole in the Giants’ offense, and former Washington QB Robert Griffin III wasted no time pitching a fix.

“The New York Giants should sign Odell Beckham Jr after Malik Nabers injury. Bring him home,” Griffin tweeted on September 29.

This trade pitch can bring Beckham Jr. home, as he is a former Big Blue. He was selected by the Giants as the 12th overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft. He played for five seasons with the Giants from 2014 to 2019 and then was traded to the Cleveland Browns before the start of the 2019 season. Since then, he had been in four different teams. But his stint was never as long as with the Giants. 

Odell is currently sitting as a free agent in the 2025 season after being released by his last team, the Miami Dolphins, in December 2024. The Super Bowl-winning WR has shown his love for the Giants on several occasions. 

Back in June 2025, Odell revealed, “I never, ever wanted to leave the New York Giants,” during an autograph signing event. Another similar sign Odell showed when a fan yelled “go back to the Giants” at Fantastic Fest NYC in June. Odell had a simple yet hopeful three-word reply to it “I got you”

Although OBJ has made it clear he’d love a Giants reunion, questions linger about whether he still has the juice. His last 1,000-yard season came all the way back in 2019 with the Browns, and since then injuries have piled up. A torn ACL in 2020, a hip issue in 2021, and a knee problem in 2024.

Even during his most recent stop with the Dolphins, Beckham managed just nine catches for 55 yards in five games. Still, he hasn’t shied away from the spotlight. Odell has stayed active on social media, dropping hints and showing plenty of enthusiasm about the Giants, almost as if he’s ready to prove there’s still some magic left.

Odell looks completely involved with the Giants 

Ever since Nabers went down with a knee injury, he has been showered with love and support from fans and teammates. Now, you can even add Odell to the list, who is clearly disheartened for the youngster. Today, he tweeted “My heart hurts for ya 1!!!!”. Odell must be aware of the sufferings Nabers is dealing with, as Odell himself had a fractured ankle back in 2017 with the Giants. 

However, this is not the only social media post through which Odell has shown that he is fully committed to the Giants. After Nabers’ injury, many blamed the artificial turf at MetLife Stadium. As of now, there are 15 venues with artificial turf, and the remaining 15 have natural grass. Well, guess who joined in to request the removal of artificial turf? Odell. 

On Sunday night, Odell tweeted “Dear @NFL I mean this with the upmost love and respect.”

“We (The NFL) take all the precautions in the world with everything else when it comes to players ‘health’ and ‘safety’. PLZ. GET RID OF THE 🤬 TURF. Thank You in advance. LUV.”

With Odell all dialed in with the Giants and the team looking for a good option, we can’t completely deny the chances of Odell returning to what he calls home. But with options like Lil’Jordan Humphrey, Jakobi Meyers, Ricky White, Chris Olave, and Diontae Johnson. No one can be sure about Odell making a comeback with the Giants.
