I hope this works out for everyone. On a personal note I realize it's the game and the market put I just don't think any of these guys are really worth this money.JMO. I understand where you're coming from Red but with what this game does to the human body I think the players need to get as much guaranteed money as they can... |

Off hand I would think 90 mil over 5 years, 75 mil guaranteed. that's an average of 18 mil per year- 15 mil guaranteed. Might take a little more …..
1st year- 18 mil
2nd year- 18.5 mil
3rd year- 19 mil
4th year- 19.5 mil
5th year- 20 mil
That's what I'm thinking

According to a source close to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, the Giants and Beckham have made significant progress toward a new contract: "The New York Giants and their star wide receiver have made progress on what is expected to be a record-breaking contract, sources told ESPN, and there is reasonable optimism from both sides that a deal may get done by the start of the season," Raanan wrote. Earlier this training camp, Beckham made it clear he is in no rush to sign his contract extension with the New York Giants. While other players in his position have decided to hold out of training camp, complain to the media, or in social media, Beckham isn't doing any of that. Instead, the fifth-year wide receiver has shown up for every phase of the Giants offseason program and he hasn't missed a single practice since the start of training camp. Beckham has faith in the Giants organization and faith in himself. "I definitely think it's going to work itself out," Beckham said when asked about why he's practicing despite not yet receiving a contract extension, via Giants on Twitter. "When is it going to happen -- you don't know. The business side is still new to me, this is the first time I've had to go through something like this (contract negotiations). I believe it's going to work itself out it's just a matter of time. Just like everything in life, it's timing. I'll let them figure it out, but right now I just want to be back on the field. It feels good out there to run routes, catch passes, to able to be with my guys grinding everyday, up at 7, having meetings with this and that. I just feel like I'm back in love (with football)." While other veterans and even rookies like Eli Manning and Saquon Barkley (prior to the hamstring strain) have been given lighter workloads in practice during training camp, Beckham has pushed hard through every day like it was the regular season. In fact, Beckham is asking for more from the Giants coaching staff when it comes to practice participation. "There were some periods when I was going eight plays in a row -- you build up that wind again," Beckham said. "In practice, I've been pushing a lot, asking for reps because I need to feel 8-10 plays, maybe 15 plays (in a row) and just get that back." The Giants regular season opener is NEAR, take a second to sign up for our FREE Giants newsletter! For Beckham, a veteran's days rest is not on his mind and the risk or re-injury is not going through his mind when he steps on the practice field. The only thing that matters to him is getting himself prepared to be the best player he can possibly be for the Giants in their regular season opener against the Jaguars. According to Beckham, that means taking on as much extra practice work as possible. "I just need it," Beckham said. "The season is coming up. You need that work. I can't shy away from it. Once your ankle is snapped, your world turns upside down...you see things a little differently now. Right now any chance I get to go on the field and practice my craft, I'm going as hard as I can."

if he can get 15 plays in a row, lets say 3 times a game, this will be a dominate team. Sign that deal OBJ and start the season with a 15 play drive.

I'm not a fan of some of his antics, but who can deny the talent? Giants can't allow this to become a distraction this season. They have to get it done. Soon.

Be nice to know someone with that talent and ability is locked up long term. Maybe once he gets past this contract thing he puts all the antics behind him and just works on being a HOF WR that has 2/3+ SB rings and becomes a model citizen?? Hey a guy can dream can't he? |

The fact that he didn't hold out speaks volumes to me on his character and dedication to the game/team.
He is arguably the most talented receiver in the NFL and is a threat to score on any play and every route.
Pay him and keep him in Blue.

I am definitely in favor of this contract, I just hope he can control himself after he gets paid.

Not sure if happy or mad at the impending big contract. I guess it'll be good to have a great wr around when Eli hangs em up.

If you look at which receivers were extended recently, I can totally understand where OBJ is coming from. I'd feel bad for the owners, but they force pay cuts on players annually, so its mostly a taste of their own medicine as far as I'm concerned. Whatever we sign him for, someone will outdo before long, and by the end of the contract it won't seem so high. |

They're the culprits in this growing WR lovefest, stop putting restrictions on the ability to assemble complete teams, give the purists something to enjoy, too. |

The NFL is a business and the owners have a monopoly. The owners wouldn't significantly increase the salary CAP because they would be less profitable. FYI - I would be in favor of your suggestion but it isn't realistic. |

FYI - I would be in favor of your suggestion but it isn't realistic. Importance of a team being profitable to most owners was recently discussed here. Of course, opinions were split, and we really don't know. I don't think they treat it like their other endevours, where they made their bread. Seems more of a prestige thing. I know I'd care a lot less about player's salaries these days, and how they go about their negotiations - if the cap was significantly raised. |

I don't know weather to be happy or concerned tough call. With the cap paying one player "record breaking" contract and allocating all of those resources on one dude could be counter productive. Tough situation to be in when making that kind of decision.

Tough situation to be in when making that kind of decision. Pittsburgh and Atlanta seem to doing okay with their star wide receiver contracts. The contract is going to happen regardless of how any of us feel. He's earned it. Also, now is the time to get it done. Why? Eli is coming off the books after next season and who knows if the team keeps Vernon after this season. Webb or Lauletta will more than likely be the future and it will be at least 3 or 4 years before the Giants have to worry about a deal for either of them. The Giants are estimated be around 30 million under the cap next season and that's not including any cuts. It's all about when you sign the mega deals. |

I'm not so sure about Webb or Lauletta being the legit future just yet - however one of them may get a chance until they either prove themselves or the Giants find the future. We'll see though. One thing for certain - Having OBJ around isn't a bad thing. |
