Odell’s blunt viral video
Filmed by woman
Oh-Dell, no! Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was caught on video lounging in bed with a beautiful woman, a pepperoni pizza, and some suspiciouslooking substances.
The seven-second clip was surreptitiously filmed on a social media app by the mystery gal pal and uploaded to the Internet where it quickly went viral on Friday.
The video, which appears to be filmed on the popular discreet messaging app Snapchat, shows the lightning-rod wideout holding what appears to be a thick, brown blunt in his left hand.
Beckham, who appears unaware he is being recorded, can be heard uttering “trying to get you to sleep with someone.”
At the very end of the recording, the woman then turns the camera to display a Snapchat-like filter image of herself.
The Giants said they were aware of the video but had no further comment.
The video comes as the Giants superstar, 25, enters the final season of his rookie con-
tract — and is angling for an extension that would make him the highest-paid receiver in the NFL.
Beckham, whose 2017 season was cut short by a broken ankle, is slated to earn $8.5 million in 2018.
The All-Pro’s four seasons of stellar on-field production have been marred by a string of controversies.
The incidents have, at times, left him at odds with Giants management and fans alike.
In December 2015, Beckham was suspended for one week after a scary helmet-to-helmet hit on Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman.
Just days before Beckham’s first career playoff game in January 2017, he and other members of Big Blue’s receiving corps stayed out all night clubbing.
The wild night ended on a party boat, where marijuana and Adderall were reportedly passed around.
After Beckham punched a hole in a locker-room wall following a poor performance in a loss to the Green Bay Packers in that playoff game, then-Giants GM Jerry Reese said Beckham needed to “grow up.”
Odell Beckham Jr. can thank Mike Evans for getting the ball rolling. The Buccaneers signed their stud wide receiver to a fiveyear, $82.5 million extension Friday with $55 million guaranteed, according to reports. The deal provides a baseline for what Beckham can reasonably ask for from the Giants as he enters the final year of his rookie contract.
Beckham (12th) and Evans (seventh) were drafted five picks apart in 2014 and have produced similar numbers through their first four years in the NFL.
In 47 career games, Beckham has 313 receptions for 4,424 yards and 38 touchdowns. Evans, in 61 games, has 309 receptions for 4,579 yards and 32 touchdowns.
Beckham has made it clear he wants to get a new contract done to become the highest-paid receiver in the NFL. The 25-year-old star, whose last season was cut short by a broken ankle, is set to earn $8.5 million in 2018.
“Hopefully we get it done, just to get it over with,” Beckham said last month. “I really want to do it so I can move past it. It’s too much to be sitting around, thinking where I’m going to be.”
Evans becomes the second-highest-paid wide receiver, earning an average annual value of $16.5 million, behind Steelers star Antonio Brown ($17 million AAV).
Co-owner John Mara has expressed his desire to have Beckham remain a Giant for life, but the LSU product has some making up to do this year, and he needs to prove himself to new general manager Dave Gettleman and new coach Pat Shurmur.
