The New York Giants are reportedly open to trading Odell Beckham Jr. before the NFL Draft, but their asking price makes it seem as though the star wide receiver is not going anywhere.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Giants have been telling teams it would take “at least two first-round picks” to pry Beckham away from them.
Giants have asked for at least two first-round picks in return for Odell Beckham Jr., a league source tells ESPN, even though team insists it is not shopping him.
Doesn’t mean they get it, or close to it, or even trade OBJ. But they have asked for at least two first-round picks.

That would be an unprecedented price to pay even for a No. 1 receiver, and teams will almost certainly laugh at it. Beckham has just one year remaining on his rookie contract and wants to be the highest-paid receiver in the NFL, which makes a deal even more difficult to facilitate.
One NFL executive reportedly believes that there is a team that could actually end up trading for Beckham in the next month, but two first-round picks is not going to happen.
