Giants Work Out 33-Year-Old Beckham as Eagles Gain Room for $32 Million Brown Trade

Monday opens two receiver decisions: the Giants are bringing in Odell Beckham Jr. after more than a month of contact, while the Eagles can now structure an A.J. Brown trade far more easily under post-June 1 cap rules.
Philadelphia's immediate dead-money hit on Brown drops to $16.3 million from $43.4 million, letting the club spread cap pain across seasons after previously treating a deal as financially unrealistic.
Trade talks still face a price gap: the Eagles want a first-round pick, but the Patriots — the team most interested — do not want to part with a 2027 first-rounder, and no other team has met that ask.
New York's workout also includes JuJu Smith-Schuster, Anthony Miller and Braxton Berrios as the Giants seek help after Gunner Olszewski's likely season-ending Achilles injury and uncertainty over Malik Nabors' return from ACL surgery.
Brown's public frustration with Philadelphia's run-heavy offense has fueled expectations of a split, while Beckham, 33, has pushed for a return to the franchise that drafted him in 2014.
With A.J. Brown's trade now financially viable, will Philadelphia lower its steep price to finally part with the disgruntled star?
Can an aging Odell Beckham Jr. truly rescue the Giants' depleted receiver room, or is this reunion fueled by nostalgia?
Beyond the big names, which overlooked free agent could emerge as the Giants' most impactful signing amid their injury crisis?
