Wide receiver Odell Beckham has been a regular at Giants workouts this offseason despite early reports that he’d stay away from the team without a new
contract.
Those reports indicated Beckham wouldn’t so much as step on the field without an extension

work than the team is willing to allow after last year’s fractured ankle.
“He looks good,” Shurmur said, via the
New York Post. “He’s out here moving around
Nikolaj Ehlers Jersey , he’s champing at the bit wanting to get out and do more than we??e allowing him to do at this point. But I think we’re just trying
to make sure that everything is healed to the fullest before we put him out
there.”
Beckham didn’t attend OTAs last year and we’ll see if his presence this time around has been seen as a good sign for the chances of getting a deal done that
will keep him on the Giants well beyond this season. The fact that he’s feeling
well enough to ramp things up in May also bodes well for his chances of putting
together another year like the ones that have positioned him for that big new
contract in the first place.
The Panthers let backup quarterback Derek Anderson walk into free agency ??where he remains.
To date, they haven’t replaced him, but they appear in no rush to find a veteran backup for Cam Newton.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera told reporters at today’s OTA that the plan for now is to go with what they have at the position, and find their backup from
within.
In case you don’t know what they have within ??which is reasonable ??it’s Garrett Gilbert
Madison Bowey Jersey , Taylor Heinicke and undrafted rookie Kyle Allen.
That’s not much to choose from, since Heinicke is basically there as the guy new offensive coordinator Norv Turner knows and Allen got benched his last
season in college before entering the draft anyway.
The upside to Anderson was that he knew the previous offense, but the change in coordinator made that a moot point, so he’s now just a guy who’s about to
turn 35 who hasn’t won a game since 2014.
The good news is that Newton is fairly reliable

starter goes down. So at the moment, the Panthers are going to run the
risk.
