And it appears that he'd be very interested in a return to the New York Giants if they'd have him.
The Athletic's Dan Duggan posted this report on X on Tuesday morning:
"Odell, who lives in Phoenix, came to the hotel hosting the owners meetings last night and was spotted sitting and talking with John Harbaugh. Don’t think anything is imminent, but Odell’s interest in a return to NY is obvious. As I wrote yesterday, don’t think the Giants’ interest can be considered serious until they have him in for a workout."
Beckham hasn't done a workout for the Giants yet, so by Duggan's reasoning, this is still a ways away from actually happening.
Still, OBJ wants another chance, and he's going after it.

Odell spoke with Kay Adams after playing in the recent flag football showcase, and he expressed his feelings on his NFL future.
"Looking forward to hopefully getting an opportunity to play this year, and hopefully, this is kinda just a starting point," Beckham told Adams.
Beckham was then asked about whether he'd want to return and play with the Giants, who feature second-year QB Jaxson Dart.
"That sounds great," Beckham said. "If that opportunity presents itself, I would love to do that. Be excited about that. He's a good dude. He's young, and he likes to dance. I like all that. So he looks like he likes to have fun. If I get that opportunity."
Beckham has played in 10 NFL seasons, including his five superstar years with the New York Giants, which included 5,476 receiving yards on 390 catches with 44 touchdowns.
OBJ also had a 1,000-yard campaign with the Browns as part of three seasons in Cleveland.
And he has since played for the Rams, Ravens and Dolphins.
In the 2024 season in Miami, Beckham played nine games and caught nine passes for 55 yards.
He didn't suit up anywhere in 2025, but he's not giving up hope for continuing his career. He also served a suspension this past season, but that's complete, so he'd be eligible to play upon signing somewhere.
