Rumors have swirled over the last 24 hours that the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams have discussed a trade involving superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

On Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings, those rumors heated up even more. Rams head coach Sean McVay refused to deny those talks have taken place, while Giants general manager Dave Gettleman wouldn’t commit to Beckham in 2018.
As it turns out, that’s really just the tip of the iceberg.
The New York Daily News now reports that Beckham has told two separate Rams players that he’d like to be dealt from New York to Los Angeles.
Does Beckham want to play for the Rams? One source told me at the league meetings that Beckham has told two Rams players he wants in. He does love New York, so his feeling for the Rams could quite possibly be only if the Giants trade him. Maybe he wants LA regardless.
The Rams are going to want to get him signed to a long-term extension to avoid playing the franchise tag game with him in 2019 and 2020 after he plays for the $8.4 million fifth-year option.
With so much information swirling that is open to interpretation, it’s hard to tell the difference between fact and fiction. The Giants are reportedly fielding offers for Beckham, but aren’t exactly keen on trading him. Meanwhile, nothing official has come from Beckham’s camp.
