New England Patriots Aggressively Tried To Trade For Odell Beckham

Things took a really interesting turn for Odell Beckham Jr.

Mike Florio and Chris Simms of Pro Football Talk talked about Odell Beckham and the chances that he signs with a different team before the 2019 campaign. During the discussion, Simms said that this move will come as a surprise for the Patriots. Head coach Bill Belichick and the team tried really hard to bring Beckham to Foxboro.

“The Giants were going to trade him, and I think they were really looking and listening to all offers,” Simms said. “You know what really stopped it, and I think this is what’s going to shock people. This is from everything that I know, of multiple sources, the thing that stopped the trade conversation with Odell Beckham Jr. is the team that was most aggressive in pursuing him, was the New England Patriots. The New England Patriots were trying to get Odell Beckham Jr. all last offseason.

“That didn’t work out, and I think the Giants got cold feet and said, ‘wait, New England wants him? Uh oh. Maybe he’s better than we thought. Maybe we should keep him on our own instead it being thrown in our face and him going to win a Super Bowl with the Pats.’ I still think there is a possibility there, they have weapons on offense, and I think he’s been a thorn in Eli’s side, and he exposes Eli’s lack of talent at this point in his career.”

Are the Giants ready to send Beckham to New England? Tom Brady and his teammates won the Super Bowl, so it will not be wise to send a good player to the competition. Giants general manager Dave Gettleman said that the team will not trade Beckham. “We didn’t sign him to trade him,” he said.

Odell Beckham is not happy with 2018

“We were right there so many games but just couldn’t get over the hump,” Beckham said. “This season definitely didn’t go the way we wanted but you take it as a learning lesson.”
