With the Giants he recorded 390 receptions for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns across three seasons of 1,300-plus receiving yards before injuries and controversies ended his first stint. The Giants posted on X on June 1, 2026: "OBJ is back " alongside a photograph.
Coach John Harbaugh said the team maintains a good relationship with Beckham from their time together in Baltimore in 2023, when Beckham caught 35 passes for 565 yards and three touchdowns.
Beckham appeared in nine games for the Miami Dolphins the year before 2025, recording nine catches for 55 yards. He was suspended for six games in 2025 for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs and remained unsigned for the rest of that season. He has played in just nine games over the past two years.
His role with the Giants will be different from his first tenure, when he served as the primary receiver and a perennial Pro Bowler. The Giants were deliberate throughout the process of signing the free agent. A reunion marks a full-circle moment for the franchise and the player.
