In case you somehow missed it, something significant happened on Monday. Let’s get to your Tuesday morning headlines, see what else is going on and check some of the reaction to Odell Beckham Jr.’s record-setting contract.Lorenzo Carter asked to take on bigger roleWith Olivier Vernon sidelined by an ankle injury and Connor Barwin working his way back from a knee injury, the Giants will need third-round pick Lorenzo Carter to take on more responsibility. Carter tried on Monday to downplay taking first-team reps on defense.“It’s just a chance to get out there and get better. Just to test yourself against the starters to see what it’s like,” he said. “It’s still football at the end of the day. You still go out there reading your keys and striking blockers. Just have to go out there and make the most of it.“The “ones” are a little bit more refined. They know their job, they’ve done their job for a couple of years. So, they have that on top of the “two’s” and “three’s” a little bit. The two’s and three’s, we’re all out there flying around, getting better White Aldrick Rosas Jerseys , working hard.”Janoris Jenkins likes Pat Shurmur’s styleMuch has been made of coach Pat Shurmur’s efforts to build relationships with players. Jenkins on Monday provided an example by talking about how Shurmur eats lunch with a group of players nearly every day, something coaches don’t always do.“He eats in there a lot with us. He’ll come by, sit with us and talk it up. He asks us what we think about the defense, I like that,” Jenkins said. “It’s rare, but its cool because you earn the trust of the guys on the team. It lets you know that your head coach is not scared to come up and talk to you as a person or as a man. Communication is key, as we all know.”Around the Inter-GoogleNow it's on Odell Beckham Jr. to behave like a player worthy of that $95 million contract | Politi | NJ.comThe Giants made him the richest wide receiver in every possible way this week.

First, he looked like Olivier Vernon as a rookie with the Dolphins.Why Odell Beckham is worth every penny of his record contractEven if Beckham isn't a quarterback, he's still worth quarterback money.Odell Beckham reset WR market and here's who benefits mostIt was a win-win deal for Beckham and the Giants. It could be an indirect jackpot for the likes of Tyreek Hill Aldrick Rosas Jerseys 2019 , and a nice bump for Julio Jones, Amari Cooper and Michael Thomas. Sure, the Giants just took a huge cap hit to trade their best player, and their quarterback is on his last legs and expensive, and they don’t really have a replacement on hand.That’s no reason they can’t win, at least according to General Manager Dave Gettleman.“Really and truly, you can win while you’re building,” Gettleman said, via Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.The first-round pick, third-round pick and safety Jabrill Peppers will only replace Odell Beckham Jr. eventually White Andrew Adams Jerseys , if at all. But they replaced Beckham in the starting lineup with 30-year-old Golden Tate, which isn’t exactly the kind of move you make if you’re expecting to be bad (cough, Miami, cough).Gettleman clearly has faith in Eli Manning and Saquon Barkley keeping them competitive, but he thought that last year as well. And as long as they’re keeping the old quarterback, he thinks they have a chance.“We’re building. The object of this is to win as many games as possible every year,” Gettleman said. “So we’re building. We were 3-13 when I took over. We were 5-11 last year 鈥?12 of those games were a touchdown or less. We’re building. I don’t understand why that is a question.”When pressed on details of his plan, Gettleman said simply that he had one.“Trust me, we have a plan,” he said. “And over time Andrew Adams Jerseys 2019 , you have to be patient. Everybody wants answers now. We live in an instant gratification society, instant gratification world, and everybody wants answers now.“Over time, you’ll see it. You have to trust it.”Gettleman helped muck out the salary cap stalls in Carolina and kept a talented team just talented enough to go 15-1 and make a Super Bowl, so perhaps he has a point. But his quarterback then was at an MVP level, and the absence of one of those in New York is going to make such a plan harder to execute.
