BadLandsMeanie Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 HIU everybody, Odell Beckham posts a video of himself smoking what looks like a blunt. Why didn't the Giants just call him in for a drug screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOboy Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Why would the Giants want to test him? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I can understand why the Giants didn't but the NFL should've been at his door the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I’d like to see the CBA language governing drug tests. Do teams have permission to randomly check or is it strictly league mandated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the offseason, ironically random testing doesnt begin till 4-20. If you are in the program they can test you whenever they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means you've already had a couple positive tests. Otherwise you receive advance notice of the date you will be tested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would because then he can't very well hold out. Then again with Beckham you never know. But I never heard a player holding out coming off a suspension. He will miss the same number or less than games than he if he holds out. Plus I don't like being messed with I would stick it to him.

ALLEN1QB Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 In 3 years the guy will not even be in the NFL. Another reason that the vetting of players is so crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan130 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Giants should try to trade him in my opinion. If they can land a 1st and 3rd or something, I would do it in a heartbeat if I were them. While he is a great player, he is a complete head case and no way I would trust giving him tons of money once his contract his up after 2018 Edited March 27, 2018 by billsfan11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Have people forgotten how genuinely good he is? https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BeckOd00.htm Teams put up with a lot when a player is this damn good. He is also only 25. I expect him to have a huge year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
