Odell Beckham Jr.’s reunion with the New York Giants didn’t last long, and it wasn’t a success, either.
On Tuesday, the Giants released Beckham after he played just three games in his return to the franchise that drafted him in 2014
Beckham had zero catches and just 1 target this season, and he played just six snaps in the Giants’ Week 3 win over the Tennessee Titans.
NFL insider Jordan Schultz said the decision was mutual, and it allows Beckham to find a team that could give him more playing time. Schultz also added that the Giants offense will likely focus on the running game more, especially after the season-ending injury to QB Jaxson Dart.

The Giants signed Beckham in June, and he wound up making the 53-man roster going into Week 1.
The timing comes right on the heels of WR Braxton Berrios, who is the team’s punt returner and was out of practice squad elevations, according to ESPN’s Jordan Ranaan.
