The New York Giants need receiver help. And receiver Odell Beckham Jr needs a new team for the 2023 season.

The two sides, who last year met at the Giants' East Rutherford, New Jersey facility during Beckham's mini free-agent tour that also included stops in Dallas and Buffalo, will meet again, this time on a field in Arizona, where the 30-year-old Beckham is set to hold a workout for potential suitors interested in seeing just how far his surgically repaired knee has come.

The Giants are just one of several teams anticipated to be on hand to watch Beckham's workout. Ranked as No. 9 on NFL.com's top 101 free agent list, Beckham, if fully healthy and showing no signs of having lost any explosiveness, could be just what the doctor ordered for a Giants receiving corps that is expected to undergo a significant transformation.

Beckham, the 15th overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft, has 531 catches for 7,367 yards and 56 touchdowns in his career. He suffered his second torn ACL 13 months ago, during the Los Angeles Rams Super Bowl LVI win, and he missed last year while recovering.

Beckham did flirt with the idea of joining a playoff contender late last season, but because he could not work out, those teams he met with passed on signing him. As for where things stand now, Beckham will not only have to show that he's fully recovered from his last injury, but he'll also have to keep his salary expectations reasonable for whichever team he ultimately does strike a deal with.
