Over the past week, Odell Beckham Jr. has had the football world buzzing about a possible return to the New York Giants. As he continues to pander to the fan base, one key member of the team sent a message to the former star wideout.
This whole ordeal began in New York last weekend when Beckham was in attendance for Fanatics "Fanatic Fest." While on an interview panel, a fan in the crowd shouted to OBJ and begged him to return to the Giants this season. He proceeded to give the crowd what they wanted, responding with "I got you."
Earlier this week, Beckham would continue to create intrigue about his suiting up for New York once again. He posted a series of photos on Instagram of him and his son Zydn outside of Metlife Stadium. In the caption, Beckham reminisced on his time in the famous venue while opening up on the joy fatherhood has brought him.

As expected, Beckham being outside the Giants' stadium only added fuel to the fire regarding the chatter of a potential reunion. Among the most notable names to pop up in the comment section was standout wide receiver Malik Nabers. He too got in on the recruiting efforts, stating to Beckham that the job isn't finished yet.
"We still got work to do," Nabers commented along with the smirking emoji.
Long after Beckham's days in New York, Nabers has emerged as the latest touted receiver for the Giants. He put together an impressive rookie campaign after being drafted No. 6 overall, racking up 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns. Nabers also passed OBJ in the Giants' history books, setting a new rookie single-season reception record with 109.

Beckham, 32, still finds himself on the free-agent market a few weeks out from training camp. He spent last season with the Miami Dolphins, where he totaled just 55 yards across nine appearances.
Years removed from his messy exit with the Giants, only time will tell if Beckham returns to New York in hopes of finishing out his career where it all began.

Sydney Sweeney goes full Tinkerbell in plunging floral dress
Sydney Sweeney is a fashion icon. There are no ifs or buts about it. From her itsy bitsy throwback to 2004 in a microscopic minidress, to her Y2K bride look in a nude number, Syds knows how to turn heads. And, in her latest fashion offering, it looks as though she's taken inspiration from none other than Tinkerbell. The 27-year-old took to Instagram to share footage of the look, which consisted of a plunging floral dress that left little to the imagination. Complete with pink and green large flowers, plus a sparkly pink halter strap, the dress also featured ruffles down the back and front, and finished with a subtle pleated skirt. To accompany the princess-style dress, Sydney styled her signature honey blonde locks in loose mermaid waves, which only added to the ethereal vibe. Makeup-wise, she kept things simple with a smoky eye, a touch of blush, and nude lips. She also ditched the jewellery, which we're guessing was in a bid to let the stunning dress do the talking. After posting the vintage-filtered video, plenty of Sydney's fans flocked to her comment section to gush over the look. "My queen," one person said, as another penned: "Absolutely iconic." Elsewhere, a third typed: "The dress is giving Brittany Murphy in Uptown Girl," and honestly, we couldn't agree more, or be more obsessed with the comparison. Many also just dropped a string of heart-eye and fairy emojis. OK, is anyone else now trying to find the high street version of this for our summer wardrobe?

Alternate NFL universe: What if Tennessee Titans traded No. 1 overall pick?
Now that the NFL is in the home stretch before training camp, it's always fun to look back at some of the what-ifs that were spawned from rumors throughout the offseason. Whether it was phantom free agent signings or trades that never developed, there were quite a few storylines that could have been, but never came to fruition. The Tennessee Titans sat at the center of a few of those, but none more so than the mystery surrounding the first overall selection and whether they would stay put and make the selection. At one point, immediately after the NFL Scouting Combine, it appeared as if trading away the pick was a foregone conclusion, but in the end, they stayed at No. 1 and selected Cam Ward, and the rest is history. Cody Benjamin wondered the same thing and listed the potential trade of the first overall pick as one of the five what-ifs that could have changed the face of the NFL in 2025 and beyond. Cam Ward to the Giants Embattled general manager Joe Schoen lived up to his promise to "look under every rock" for quarterback help this offseason, adding not one but three new passers in Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and first-round draft pick Jaxson Dart. The thing is, he may have settled for just one, had he gotten his wish. After failing to acquire Stafford in a blockbuster trade, Schoen's Giants were reported as front-runners to land the No. 1 pick in the draft, with Miami's Cam Ward the anticipated target. What if the Tennessee Titans hadn't been smitten with Ward -- or just so desperate for their own new signal-caller -- and actually dealt the top pick to Big Blue? We might be preparing for Ward to open the 2025 season as the new face of the Giants with head coach Brian Daboll finally set to deploy a gunslinger with long-term promise. Although no official details were released, NFL insiders reported that the Titans declined an offer from the New York Giants for the top pick. This means that the Giants did not meet the requirements of the historic haul that general manager Mike Borgonzi was searching for. Ward has been everything that the Titans expected since landing in Nashville, and there is no doubt he would have made the same impact if he had made his way to New York. The Giants eventually took Jackson Dart, but Ward would have been a no-brainer. He was the top quarterback in the class, and with his college experience and football acumen, he appears ready to take over the offense. Had the Titans traded out of the spot, it is likely that their entire draft strategy would have changed, and that Abdul Carter would have been the selection. This also means that they would likely be riding with Will Levis as the starter heading into the season. While fans may freak out with that proposition, Levis has had a tremendous offseason and looks like a different quarterback. The extra work he put in with Jordan Palmer appears to have paid off. What they would have done with the rest of the selections, and what those selections would have been, may be a mystery. Still, they would not have selected Femi Oladejo in the second round if they had taken Carter, and their haul would have been entirely different. Looking back, if he had gone to New York, Ward would have made for an interesting competition between Russell Wilson during the offseason and training camp. Instead, he is in Nashville preparing to be the face of the franchise. Now that the dust has settled, Titans fans are excited that this was a what-if and not a reality.
