Odell Beckham Jr. has made headlines for wanting to be the highest paid player in the NFL. This would mean a huge contract valued over 100 million dollars. Now, Beckham is a phenomenal player, by far the best on the Giants, but he's not the best in the league. Seeing Antonio Brown get his huge contract along with Megatron's previous 100 million dollar deal, Beckham also wants a huge payday.
I do not believe the Giants should pay him the amount that he wants. For the last three seasons, he has been their entire offense. Every opponent defensive game plan has been limiting this guy. But in the NFL you get paid for what you will do, not what you have done. The Giants just acquired Brandon Marshall and drafted Evan Ingram out of Ole Miss, both over 6'4". They also have Sterling Shepard who will only improve after a pretty good rookie year. Additionally, with the talents of Damon "snacks" Harrison, Landon Collins, Oliver Vernon, Jason Piere-Paul, and Janoris Jenkins, the Giants should look for the defense to carry the team.
While Beckham is an amazing talent at only 5'10" with speed and hands unmatched, he is not a flawless player. He has shown to be immature on and off the field. His feuds with Xavier Rhodes and Josh Norman show signs of someone not ready for to be "the highest paid player in the NFL." Also, although he has only played in one playoff game, he was absolutely terrible against the Packers.
