Latest Odell Beckham Jr. Trade Rumors Prove Giants Made the Right Call Trading Him to Browns
By Ian Anderson
Getting this diva out of New York was possibly the best move the Giants made all offseason.
The trade of Odell Beckham Jr. to the Cleveland Browns was met with contempt from Giants' fans and joy from Browns fans, but it's starting to look more and more like Giants' general manager David Gettleman made the right decision. This especially after rumors about Beckham wanting out of Cleveland have come to surface.

Beckham behaving this way should not come as a surprise considering his antics in New York were second to those of Antonio Brown's.
The way that Beckham has acted in Cleveland and the how quickly Gettleman wanted to ship him off certainly said something at the time, and it's all becoming clearer by the day.

The fact that the Giants were able to get Jabrill Peppers, Dexter Lawrence, and Oshane Ximines for Beckham seemed like so little at the time, but was inevitably the correct decision for the franchise going forward.
Beckham's tenure in Cleveland looks to be short lived as the Browns could part with him this offseason as these rumors persist. The real question is what teams would be willing to pay the hefty price tag for someone who can't behave?
