Hey everybody, guess what!? The New York Giants didn’t trade Odell Beckham Jr., but a big wide receiver deal did go down on Tuesday.
The Los Angeles Rams are receiving former Patriots WR Brandin Cooks and a fourth-round pick, while New England is receiving a first-rounder and sixth-rounder. This gives New England two first rounders entering the draft.

This trade ends the Beckham Jr, trade rumors, as if they were ever true!
Patriots and Rams have discussed a potential Brandin Cooks trade for over a month, before Rams and Giants discussed a potential Odell Beckham Jr. trade. Rams liked this situation better.

Naturally, the new rumors have already sprung. The most recent ones: The Patriots could offer the 23rd and 31st picks in the draft for Odell Beckham Jr.
Again, this is nonsense. Bill Belichick would never spend over $18 million per-season on a player, especially one that’s a wide receiver.
