The New York Giants have had an active offseason, but fans still want to see a reunion with Odell Beckham Jr.
A video of Beckham scoring a touchdown from his time with the Giants went viral on social media.
“All these Giants signings have been great and all, but there’s still one last piece missing…,” the user wrote.

Eli Manning, who threw the touchdown to Beckham in the clip, had fun with it.
“Guys I’m not coming back to play! Stop asking,” Manning wrote on X.
Manning retired after the 2019 season, ending a 16-year run with the team. Towards the end of his career, Manning struggled as the team went 9–26 in his starts over the final three seasons of his career.
Before Manning’s game declined, Beckham was one of his favorite targets. Manning threw more touchdowns to Beckham (44) than to any other player in his career.

Beckham electrified in New York. In five seasons with the Giants, Beckham played in 59 games and caught 390 passes for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns.
He was then stunningly traded to the Cleveland Browns and never regained that form, spending only two and a half seasons with them before they released him.
The Giants recently brought Beckham in for a workout. He played under coach John Harbaugh with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023. The 33-year-old was productive as a depth receiver, catching 34 passes for 565 yards and three touchdowns.
Harbaugh called Beckham one of his favorite people in the world in March.

“He and I talk. We text,” Harbaugh said. “We’ve maintained a really good relationship. He’s one of my very favorite people in the world. It’s not like you don’t talk to guys about stuff like that. And we definitely have.”
“We’ll just have to see where it all goes, what’s best for him, what’s best for the Giants.”
While the Giants will have to see where Beckham goes, they know for sure that Manning will be retired.
