The Giants traded Beckham to the Cleveland Browns before the 2019 season. He later won a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams and spent time with the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins.

"I never, ever wanted to leave the New York Giants," he said. "The reason you heard me talking about what was going on was because I was p----- because, where I come from in college, if we lost one game, our season was over.

"This was the organization I got drafted to. They believed in me. So if the Giants went and won a Super Bowl, I would be happy. But deep down inside, I wanted to be the one. No question. So it's definitely you'll always hold that. But then someone like me, I went to the LA Rams, won a Super Bowl. But still, you just want that."

Beckham had 390 catches for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns in five seasons with the Giants. He was a Pro Bowler in three of those five years and was the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2014 despite only playing 12 games.

Beckham's future is unclear. He parted ways with the Dolphins in the offseason.
