In the last few weeks, things have progressively cooled on the trade front for the New York Giants concerning star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. It has reached a point of where there is the expectation that he will remain with the team moving forward.

With Beckham Jr. still in the fold, it has shifted toward his health recovering from the broken ankle he suffered last year. According to Dianna Russini of ESPN, the 25-year-old is expected to attend minicamp but will not participate with the team.

Although Beckham Jr. won't be practicing with the team, his presence at minicamp is a clear sign that he still wants to remain with the team long term. He is in the fifth-year option of his contract that has pushed forward the conversation about his contract situation concerning his future in New York.

Since the viral video of him being around some questionable substances, the contract extension chatter has quieted around the team in the weeks that have followed. The trade talk had taken center stage for a short while, but things have mulled over to the point to where his recovery from the ankle injury and his contract extension are the only two real topics of discussion around him.

Beckham Jr. has continued to progress in his recovery to the point where he is expected to be able to back on the field with the team at some point this offseason. The only true question that will remain then is whether the Giants are willing to ink him to a lucrative contract that could make him the highest-paid wide receiver in the league. This could be a huge factor in determining how these conversations transpire in the coming months between both sides. In the meantime, Beckham Jr.'s presence despite being unable to practice demonstrates that he is still committed to being a huge part of New York's future.
