Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham reportedly won't get on field without contract extension
A day after New York Giants owner John Mara said that no one on the team's roster is “untouchable” in trade talks, wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. is reportedly steadfast in his desire for a contract extension.
According to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, Beckham "will not set foot on a field" without a new deal, whether it's from the Giants or any other team.
Beckham has indicated that he wants to be the highest paid player in the league.
From @gmfb: My understanding is that #Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr will not set foot on a field without a new contract extension agreed to — with the #Giants or any team. ... This comes a day after owner John Mara said no one is “untouchable” in trade talks.

Beckham, 25, only played in four games last season before breaking his ankle in an October game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Beckham, a three-time Pro Bowl, has 313 receptions and 38 touchdowns in his four NFL seasons.
