Beckham signs a new contract with the giants for another six years with $65m earnings guaranteed.

New York Giants star Odell Beckham Jnr has signed a new $95m contract to become the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history.

Beckham has been with the Giants since he was drafted from Louisiana State University in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

The Giants on Monday, August 27 announced that they have signed the 25-year-old for another six years with $65m  earnings guaranteed for three-time Pro Bowler.

“Honestly, I don't even know how to explain it,” Beckham said in a statement.

“I don't know if it's a relief, I don't know - it's a combination of everything. You've worked all your life to get to this point and it's finally here.”

 

Beckham was seen in an Instagram video dancing in the locker room with his teammate as they celebrated the new contract.

“God, I can’t even put into words my gratitude. This is only the beginning,” he also wrote on Instagram.

“We got him until he's 108,” Giants’ general manager Dave Gettleman quipped.

“I never worried whether or not we would get it done. I'm pleased because the litmus test for a contract is that neither side is ticked off before the ink can dry, and neither side should be ticked off. It's a very fair deal.”
