Odell Beckham Jr. and the New York Giants mutually agreed to part ways on Tuesday, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, after the receiver recorded no catches and only one target in the first three games of the season.

What happened

The Giants released Beckham on September 29, 2026, ending a brief stint that saw him targeted once and fail to record a reception. The move was confirmed by insider Jordan Schultz.

What the reports add

Bleacher Report notes that teams with wide‑receiver injuries, such as the Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders and Carolina Panthers, are being mentioned as possible destinations. The Rams are highlighted because Beckham previously played for them in 2021‑22, posting 27 receptions for 305 yards and five touchdowns in eight regular‑season games, plus postseason production. The Raiders, who started 3‑0, have struggled at receiver, with only Tre Tucker leading the group in catches (11) and yards (189) through three weeks. The Panthers are listed as another option, though specific needs are not detailed.

What was said

Jordan Schultz told Bleacher Report, "Beckham and the Giants mutually agreed to part ways Tuesday after OBJ did not record a catch and drew only one target over the season's first three games."

How it came about

Beckham’s release follows a season in which the Giants have struggled offensively, a theme echoed in recent Felo News coverage of the team’s roster moves, including the trade for quarterback J.J. McCarthy and the death of former GM Ernie Accorsi. Earlier in the week, the Rams secured the return of defensive star Aaron Donald, underscoring their active roster adjustments.
