New York Giants GM Dave Gettleman was very adamant when he was asked about wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s future with the Giants.
Giants GM Dave Gettleman on Odell Beckham: "We didn't sign him to trade him."
Asked if that means Beckham will be here in 2019: "You heard what I said."

Gettleman assured everyone that OBJ is going to be with the Giants for years to come and there are no intentions of moving on from the three-time Pro Bowler. Beckham Jr. had a down season in 2018 due to a quadriceps injury that held him out the final four games of the season. Rookie running back Saquon Barkley also hampered OBJ's usual monster stat line, as the Giants were finally able to rely more on the run this season.
There has been recent speculation that OBJ could be traded to the San Francisco 49ers, but Gettleman stated the speculation holds no truth. There has been previous speculation that OBJ would be traded but nothing ever came of it and the Giants star wideout has been with the team for the past five seasons.
The Giants will undoubtedly need Odell on their team for years to come if they ever want to return to the postseason and beyond. OBJ has been a top wide receiver each season he has been out on the field, but the last two seasons have been plagued with injuries. The Giants receiver still managed 1,072 yards and six touchdowns on 77 receptions despite only playing in 12 games this season. The talent and potential will always be there for the Giants as long as they have OBJ and it's clear Gettleman knows that.
