Odell Beckham Jr. has bounced around in recent years after making high-profile catches with the New York Giants early in his career, and the 10-year veteran denied Schefter's report that he would be leaving the game that he's been playing for decades.

Beckham Jr. most recently appeared with the Miami Dolphins in 2024, however, he failed to make a significant impact after battling some injuries and being buried behind top wide receivers like Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle on the depth chart.
