The New York Giants have made their highly polarizing, yet highly productive star WR the highest paid art his position in NFL history.
The #Giants and WR Odell Beckham Jr have agreed to terms on a 5-year extension worth a whopping $95M, source said. He gets the highest guarantee ever for a WR at $65M and averages $20M over the first 3 years. Nice job by the #NYG and agent Zeke Sandhu getting this done. Win/win💰

A three-time Pro Bowler has hauled in 313 passes for 4,424 yards and 38 touchdowns in 47 games over his first four seasons, a pace that would make Beckham statistically the greatest WR in league history if the trend continued over the course of his career.
