The possibility of Odell Beckham Jr. returning to the New York Giants is very real.

“We had dinner with him last night, had a good visit,” Giants coach said Brian Daboll said at today’s press conference, per SNY TV in New York. “Really other than that, I have nothing else to add. My focus is on Washington.”

The Giants (7-4) host the Commanders (7-5) in an NFC East battle on Sunday.

While the Philadelphia Eagles (10-1) appear to be closing in on the division title, the Giants have hopes of landing a wild card. It would be their first trip to the playoff since 2016.

The Giants selected Beckham 12th overall in the 2014 NFL draft.

He spent five seasons in New York blue, with over 1,300 receiving yards in the first three and then, after an injury shortened 2017, another with 1,035 yards before he was traded to the Cleveland Browns in March of 2019 for strong safety Jabrill Peppers, and two draft picks that became first-round defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence and third-round pass rusher Oshane Ximines.

Beckham spent a season and a half in Cleveland before he was traded to Los Angeles, where he helped the Rams win the Super Bowl last season.

He tore an ACL in the championship game, but is now ready to resume his career.

Here are the odds for teams to sign the 30-year-old free agent, according to Adam Thompson at bookies.com, followed by the implied probability in brackets.

Cowboys: +110 (47.6%)

Giants: +250 (28.6%)

Bills: +450 (18.2%)

Buccaneers: +1,000 (9.1%)

The Field: +1,200 (7.7%)
