Giants rookie RB Saquon Barkley has already made a dream come true, buyting his parents a brand new home following his Draft Day. Now, it looks like he's searching for his own dream home.

Barkley has recently taken a tour of a penthouse at the Beekman Residences in the Financial District, according to The Post's Jennifer Gould Keil. The 5 Beekman St. condos were designed by Thomas Juul-Hansen, and this particular penthouse is going for $12.99 million.

While getting a panoramic view of the city skyline from the 51st floor, the three-bedroom condo has 16-foot ceilings, oak floors, and a 155-square-foot terrace. The building itself also has a private dining room, media room, and a rooftop terrace to name some of the amenities.

The Rundown

The cornerbacks room was supposed to be the least of the Giants' problems last season, but we all know how that went. Guess they didn't get that memo.

Odell Beckham, Jr. wants the Giants to give him the biggest contract ever given to a wide receiver. So far, all he's done is watch other star receivers get extended by their respective teams.

The latest receiver to get paid is Brandin Cooks, who agreed with the Rams on a five-year extension worth $81 million. The deal has just over $50 million in guarantees, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. 

The Rams acquired the 24-year-old Cooks from the Patriots earlier in the offseason, coming off a season where he had 65 receptions for 1,082 yards and seven touchdowns.

Big Blue is making big bucks.

According to Forbes, the Giants are valued at $3.3 billion, making them the third-most valuable NFL franchise in 2018. They also come in at eighth overall in the world. 

The Giants' division rival Cowboys were named the most valubale sports team in the world for the thrid straight year at $4.8 billion. The Patriots come after the Cowboys at $3.7 billion, which is sixth-best in the world. 

Former Giant and two-time Super Bowl champion Chris Snee can't wait to watch Giants rookie guard Will Hernandez in NFL action.

Snee, now a scout with the Jaguars under Tom Coughlin, said he had an opportunity to check out the new Giants' rookie and meet him in person. He ultimately wrote a pre-draft report on him, according to the New York Post.

I think [Hernandez] is maybe a little stronger physically than I was at that point, but I would like to think my movement was a little bit better,'' Snee said.

The Rundown

Here's a good synopsis of the Giants' offensive line play last season: It was really bad. 

The Giants announced they have agreed to a deal with Western Michigan CB Sam Beal, who they selected in the third round of the 2018 Supplemental Draft. 

Known for his skill in man-to-man coverage, Beal was touted by some as the best prospect to come out of the Supplemental Drat since Browns WR Josh Gordon. At 6-foot-1, 187 pounds, Beal has the prototypical frame that teams love on the outside, and his technique and skill allow him to be able to work in any scheme. 

"We feel like we're getting our third-round pick now," GM Dave Gettleman said in a statement after drafting Beal. "We discussed it at length yesterday, and had a great conversation. We basically had a draft meeting in the office, with people on the speaker phone who had seen him. It was a very thorough conversation.

Giants TE Evan Engram agrees with his former coach Ben McAdoo-- he's glad McAdoo came out and said he thinks that the Giants are going to win the NFC East.

McAdoo broke his public silence since being fired by the team after going 13-15 with one postseason loss in one and a half seasons. Engram, speaking at his camp in New Jersey, was glad McAdoo said what he did. 

"I'm glad he said it. It's really realistic," Engram said...

This is the first installment of Giants position previews for the upcoming 2018 season. This will be an in-depth look at each position heading into training camp that begins on July 25.

The Rundown

With no upgrade to the offensive line or the running back position -- with the exception of drafting Wayne Gallman out of Clemson -- it was almost expected this unit wasn't going to do much for the Giants last season. 

Ben McAdoo believes his former team will win the NFC East.

The former Giants head coach, who was fired along with GM Jerry Reese midway through the 2017 season, told the New York Post's Paul Schwartz he thinks the Giants improved this past offseason and thinks they can overtake the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in the division.

"I think Philly, how much success has Philly had?" McAdoo said. "I think they're gonna have a hard time handling success. Dallas, I like their offensive line, but how long have we been saying that? Their defense, they got a bunch of young guys playing DB, Sean Lee is banged up a lot, and their D-line, they got a bunch of guys getting in trouble all the time. And Washington is Washington, right?"

Former Giants coach Ben McAdoo criticized offensive lineman Ereck Flowers in an interview with the New York Post's Paul Schwartz, despite defending the former first-round pick as a head coach.

"He can't bend, you got to be able to bend," McAdoo said. "You can run around him on that side just like you can on the other side, Eli [Manning] just gets to see it, which may help Eli. It's not the blind side, it's in his vision, so if he's comfortable with what's going on over on the left side, it can help him move in the pocket a little bit better."

Flowers has been labeled a bust since the GIants drafted him ninth overall in 2015 out of Miami (Fla.). He hasn't been guaranteed a starting spot on New York's new-look offensive line that also features Nate Solder and Will Hernandez, although Flowers will shift from left tackle to right tackle. 

After benching fan-favorite QB Eli Manning amid a disastrous season, Giants fan weren't upset to see Ben McAdoo be relieved of his duties. But McAdoo's biggest regret wasn't his unceremonious benching of the Giants legend, it was his handling of star WR Odell Beckham Jr.

Beckham was the team's best player but oft-embroiled in controversy, and McAdoo is regretful of his treatment of the star-- both off the field and on it.

"I needed to be better for him personally, as a coordinator and head coach,'' McAdoo said...

Former Giants head coach Ben McAdoo thinks Jets rookie Sam Darnold has potential to be a "special" quarterback, but said he didn't like his throwing mechanics.

"I think the kid the Jets drafted has a lot of magic in his game,'' McAdoo told the New York Post's Paul Schwartz. "I think he's special. He's obviously a talented guy, he can make plays with his feet. I'd just have a hard time drafting a guy in the first round where you don't necessarily like the way he throws."

Darnold, who played two seasons at USC, threw for 3,086 yards, 31 touchdowns and nine interceptions with five fumbles as a sophomore in 2016. Last season, he threw for more yards (3,787), but fewer touchdowns (26) and more interceptions (12) and fumbles (seven). The turnovers, McAdoo believes, had a negative impact on his perspective.

This is the first installment of Giants position previews for the upcoming 2018 season. This will be an in-depth look at each position heading into training camp that begins on July 25.

The Rundown

Expectations for the Giants coming into training camp last season were exceptionally high, but there arguably wasn't any higher than the wide receiver position.

The Giants took highly-touted Western Michigan CB Sam Beal in the Supplemental Draft on Wednesday. It was the first pick in the Supplemental Draft since 2015, and the Giants' first such pick since 1994.

Here's what the experts are saying...

• The 6-foot-1, 187-pounder not only has plus size, but he displays outstanding movement skills and agility on the perimeter. Beal looks like a natural cover corner on the island with the potential to play in a nose-to-nose position or from distance. He flashes outstanding footwork, balance and body control shadowing receivers while staying in their hip pocket down the field. Beal's discipline and detail in coverage suggest that he could grow into a front-line player in a diverse scheme that features man and zone concepts with a variety of techniques. - Bucky Brooks, NFL.com

With the first selection any team has made in the Supplemental Draft since 2015, the Giants took 21-year-old CB Sam Beal, who has been referred to as the best Supplemental Draft prospect ever. 

The Giants waived cornerback Kenneth Durden to make room on the roster.

For selecting Beal, who played college ball at Western Michigan, the Giants will give up a third-round pick in next June's NFL Draft.

"He's obviously talented," an NFL defensive coordinator told Bleacher Report about Beal. "Long, flexible, fast. He fits the mold of what we want at outside corner."

The Giants' offense is spotlighted by star WR Odell Beckham Jr., and with rookie RB Saquon Barkley now in the mix, fans are drooling over this new dynamic duo. 

But QB Eli Manning doesn't want anyone to sleep on WR Sterling Shepard. 

Manning noted that Shepard's performance during the spring hints to a potential breakout season in 2018. 

Giants QB Eli Manning has seen videos of Odell Beckham, Sterling Shepard, and Saquon Barkley working out shirtless -- and he has a few words for his teammates.

"I know they'll have to make some adjustments, we do practice with our shirts on with the Giants," Manning said with a smile at a football camp at Kean University. "Friction and all that, they'll have to make an adjustment the first two weeks, so it might be something new for 'em, might take a little time for them to get used to that. Besides that, I think it's great those guys are together, they're challenging each other and they're getting excited for the upcoming season."

Manning threw 19 touchdowns and 13 interceptions last season as his team stumbled to an injury-plagued 3-13 season. The 37-year-old QB said the new season gives him an opportunity to "kind of prove to yourself you should still be doing this."

Though he didn't participate in team drills, Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. has resembled his "old self" in the eyes of QB Eli Manning. 

Manning and Beckham worked together during individual drills at the Giants' mandatory minicamp, and the veteran quarterback saw the same speed and agility from his favorite target. It was their first connection in between the hashes since his ankle injury in Week 5 last season.

"Odell looked healthy," Manning told reporters during his appearances at an Offense-Defense Football Camp at Kean University on Monday. "He was running routes full speed, making cuts and seemed to be his old self. So I'm excited about that and that he can go out there and run all the routes. 

EA Sports released its highly-anticipated Madden NFL 19 ratings on Tuesday, and the Giants saw themselves at the bottom of the pack.

Despite some high-profile names on the roster, Big Blue came in rated 73 which is the third-worst ranking in the popular video game. The ratings do change based off team performance throughout the year. 

The highest-rated player on the Giants is WR Odell Beckham Jr., who came in at 95 overall. That makes him the third-best receiver in the game behind Steelers' Antonio Brown, who has a nearly perfect rating of 99, and Falcons' Julio Jones' 98 rating...

The highly-anticipated Madden 19 rankings have dropped, and Giants fans may get ticked off to see where their veteran QB Eli Manning ranks among his peers. 

Madden has Manning as an overall 76 ranking, which makes him 36th among qualifying quarterbacks. Also, ranked with an overall 76 is Colts QB Jacoby Brissett, who completed his first full NFL season as a starter after filling in for Andrew Luck in 2017. 

Last season, Manning was ranked an 80 when the Madden 18 rankings were released. As they update them throughout the season based on performance, he ended up with an overall 77 by Week 17...

Does team bonding get any better than doing farmer walks up a driveway in the LA heat? 

Well, that's exactly what Giants wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard as well as rookie RB Saquon Barkley were spotted doing on Sunday.

You can own an invaluable piece of Giants' history-- for the right price.

Eli Manning's Super Bowl XLII-winning helmet is up for auction, the one he wore while leading the Giants to a 17-14 victory over the previously unbeaten Patriots. But, as you might imagine, it ain't cheap.

"This is a very significant piece," said Goldin Auctions president Ken Goldin, via ESPN. "Bidding for this will definitely surpass $130,000." ...

A former NFL agent believes Giants WR Odell Beckham "would probably be better off" signing a three-year extension with the team in order to maximize his chances of making even more money once he is a 28-year-old free agent.

Joel Corry, who is an NFL business analyst for CBS Sports, sees that three-year extension being worth $55 million, with $40 million guaranteed.

"If his first three years are any indication of what he's going to be down the road, he'd reap the benefit of the market changing,'' said Corry, who represented NFL players, per the New York Post. "Julio Jones did the five-year extension, and he's unhappy with his deal right now. Maybe Beckham should look at the Julio Jones situation and not do the conventional five-year deal. Be able to get another bite of the apple when he's truly hitting his prime.''

Former Giants and Redskins defensive linemen Barry Cofield was arrested in Lake Mary on early Tuesday morning. Cofield was found passed out behind the wheel of his Cadillac around 2:30 a.m. on Interstate 4 in Florida. 

Cofield, who started at least 15 games in every season from 2006 to 2013, was charged with possession of heroin, fleeing and eluding, and aggravated assault on a police officer according the Orlando Sentinel.

After refusing to exit his vehicle, authorities found two small bags of red powdery substance. These small bags, which were in his pocket, tested positive for heroin.

President Donald Trump, who last season referred to NFL players who kneel in protest during the anthem as "sons of bitches," wondered aloud Thursday if the league's new policy is worse than the old one. Trump also bashed NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, and claimed ratings are down in part because of "the flag."

"If you don't respect the flag or you don't like the country or whatever it is just go into the locker room," Trump said, according to Yahoo! Sports. "Just go into the locker room. I think in many respects that's worse. Isn't that worse than having them not standing?"

Under the new anthem policy, all team and league personnel on the field must "stand and show respect for the flag and the anthem." Personnel who choose not to stand for the anthem may stay in the locker room or a similar location off the field until its conclusion...

Giants RB Saquon Barkley has a lot of expectations on his shoulders. 

Barkley is the favorite to win Rookie of the Year, he's expected to help lead the Giants back to the playoffs, extend Eli Manning's career and almost single-handily rescue a Giants rushing attack that finished 26th in the league in rushing yards.

As such, EA Sports Madden '19 has released their top rookie ratings and predictably has Barkley in the top five, though surprisingly not number one. He's second with an 82 rating, trailing only Colts G Quenton Nelson (83). He is ahead of Browns QB and No. 1 pick Baker Mayfield (81). Bears LB Roquan Smith (81) and Broncos DE Bradley Chubb (80) round out the rookie top five. 

Three years ago on the Fourth of July, Jason Pierre-Paul's life changed. He's now focused on ensuring it doesn't happen to anyone else.

On this year's Fourth, he shared a graphic image on Instagram of his hand from the hospital. Warning: the image may be disturbing.

The former Giants star accompanied the photo with a heartfelt message...

Giants CB Janoris Jenkins opened up on Thursday about his friend who was found dead last month at his New Jersey home. 

Jenkins' older brother has been charged with manslaughter and is in custody.

Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. is continuing to rehab his ankle in Los Angeles. But, after watching his latest workout video, it doesn't look like any rehabbing needs to still be done. 

Beckham was seen running routes at UCLA and based off his cuts, speed, and of course, ridiculous catch, No. 13 appears to be fully ready for training camp.

The phrase, "They won't know what hit 'em," is perfect to describe defensive coordinator James Bettcher's system for the Giants next season. 

Bettcher's 3-4 scheme is one of mystery and disguise, designed to keep opposing offenses guessing as to what type of defense the Giants are running. It worked with the Cardinals during his tenure there, and he is hoping for even more success with a promising, young defense in the Giants. 

One of those youngsters is S Andrew Adams, who will battle for the starting position next to All-Pro S Landon Collins again in training camp. And though it may sound confusing, he had only one way to describe Bettcher's scheme...

Giants star wideout Odell Beckham, Jr. can do it all. 

Beckham took batting practice at Yankee Stadium prior to Friday night's Yankees/Red Sox tilt, and hit a homer to left field.

Right after the Giants drafted Saquon Barkley in April, Odell Beckham, Jr. made a prediction.

Click below to see...

Though he has the NFL's best-selling jersey since April and is projected to earn $31.5 million from his rookie deal, Giants running back Saquon Barkley said he is going to try to spend like Marshawn Lynch and live solely on endorsement deals.

"Once I realized when I declared for the NFL draft and kind of realized where I was going to be drafted," Barkley said on Thursday, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, "that was something I was like, 'You know what? Kind of want to follow the Marshawn Lynch method. I don't want to touch that. I want to invest it, put it in the right peoples' hands and learn as I continue to make investments. And just live off the endorsement deals.' "

Lynch has earned more than $52 million from NFL contracts, according to Spotrac, but NFL Network's Ian Rapaport said two years ago that the current Raiders running back "hasn't spent a dime of his actual playing money ... ever," instead spending money from his endorsement deals with Nike, Pepsi and Skittles, among other companies.

No. 2 is No. 1 (again).

Giants rookie RB Saquon Barkley has the best-selling jersey in the NFL at another outlet. First, it was according to the DICK's Sporting Goods Jersey Report, now the official NFL shop announced that they sold more No. 26 Barkley jerseys than anyone else in the league between April and mid-June.

The Giants will get things going when training camp opens up on July 26 at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center.

There will be nine practices open to the public and free. Scope the full schedule below:

Thursday, July 26: 2:45 p.m. - Practice
Friday, July 27: 2:45 p.m. - Practice
Saturday, July 28: 2:45 p.m. - Practice
Sunday, July 29: 2:45 p.m. - Practice
Monday, July 30: 2:45 p.m. - Practice
Wednesday, August 1: 2:45 p.m. - Practice
Thursday, August 2: 10:30 a.m. - Practice
Friday, August 3: 10:30 a.m. - Practice
Tuesday, August 7: 10:30 a.m. - Practice (End of Public Training Camp practices)

Former Giants QB Phil Simms badly wants the Giants to re-sign Odell Beckham -- and he wants them to "get it over with."

Simms, who was named MVP of Super Bowl XXI after completing 22 of 25 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns, said Beckham is among the best offensive weapons in the NFL.

"Antonio Brown is great, but he's a different type of player. So is Julio Jones," Simms told the New York Post. "I just look at Odell Beckham Jr. and, man, I don't know what to say."

There was a dead body found in Giants CB Janoris Jenkins' New Jersey home on Tuesday, and Jenkins' older brother has been charged with manslaughter and is in custody, according to the Bergen County prosecutor's office.  

The victim was indentified as 25-year-old Roosevelt Rene, who the Bergen County Prosecutor's office described as Jenkins' "family friend." Rene, who is also known as music producer Trypps Beatz, has many photos with Jenkins on his Instagram account.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, citing law enforcement sources, reported that police "are investigating a possible stragulation/suffocation" as the cause of death.

Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. has seen some bad spotlight on and off the field. In turn, public perception of the 25-year-old's character hasn't been squeaky clean. 

However, QB Davis Webb says Beckham's personality is entirely misconstrued because of these instances. 

"If you're around Odell, your percetion changes totally," Webb told NJ.com's Ryan Dunleavy. "He's a very intellectual human being. He's easy to talk to. You can talk to him about everything from music, to food, to E! News. It doesn't matter. He's always having a lot of fun, always dancing, always singing."

To all NFL Fans, they would say their team's faithful are the best in the league. However, Dr. Michael Lewis of Emory's Goizueta Business School created a statistical model to calculate exactly which fan base is the best in the NFL.

Lewis' model has three different factors that go into the calculation. First, there is "Fan Equity" that calculates how much fans spend on their team, both in tickets and apparel. Next, there is "Social Equity" which totals fans following their team on social media, and that is followed by "Road Equity" which calculates fans traveling with their team on the road. 

Based off Lewis' model, the Giants come in a No. 4 on the list of the 32 NFL teams. 

He is a top Giants wide receiver coming off an ankle injury with a contract situation looming over the team's head. Ring any bells?

Though the answer is certainly Odell Beckham Jr., former Giants WR Plaxico Burress is correct as well.

Back in 2008 when he was Eli Manning's top target, Burress was in the exact position Beckham is currently in this offseason. Burress had a longer contract with three years and $10 million still left on it, but he wanted a new, more lucrative deal before taking the field that season in case of another injury. 

Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was ranked among the best route runners in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus' Michael Renner.

Beckham was one of four players graded as an honorable mention to the Steelers' Antonio Brown as the best route runners in the league. Joining Beckham were the Bengals' A.J. Green and the Vikings' Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs.

Though Beckham is known more for his prolific one-handed catches, Pro Football Focus notes Beckham's wide receiver rating is 36.1 points above average on his double-move routes.

Giants rookie RB Saquon Barkley was among this year's group of athletes to be featured in ESPN the Magazine's Body Issue. 

The 21-year-old first-rounder showed off his physique, which has been in the spotlight since his Penn State days. Barkley's workouts, including a 405-pound power clean, went viral as fans marveled at his strength. 

But, when asked about his favorite workout moment, Barkley didn't say one of the moments where he broke a personal best. Instead, it was a rare moment he couldn't get the weight up. 

Giants QB Eli Manning has stated numerous times that his walk into the sunset isn't anytime soon. 

Manning reiterated that fact when talking about the next two seasons, after which he will become a free agent. And when looking at the weapons he has to work with this season, Manning not only believes his run hasn't ended, but a Super Bowl isn't too far away either. 

"Obviously it has been an unbelievable run, but I want to continue doing it. It's not over," Manning told NFL Network's Kim Jones. "I know that. ...I'm excited for this upcoming year and really prove that I can still play at a high level. We can win games. We can win championships."

Here is Part 1 of what to look forward to when Giants training camp begins, which will be followed by Part 2 on Friday...

A healthy and motivated Odell Beckham, Jr.

Ralph Vacchiano | Facebook | Twitter | Archive

Odell Beckham, Jr. promised he won't hold out, but sources in his camp insist a holdout is still on the table. Pat Shurmur said he expects Beckham will show up to camp on time, but team sources say they're not so sure about that. Beckham wants a new contract, but there's no indication he'll get one any time soon. And there are still five weeks to go until the Giants report for training camp, and any of that could change at any time.

So while you're biting your nails for the next few weeks wondering if the Giants' best player will show up or not, and pondering just how ugly his contract negotiations could get (or not), here's a primer on where everything stands with Beckham, the Giants, and his contract as of right now, and a look at where this whole thing may eventually go...

The No. 2 pick is No. 1.

Giants rookie RB Saquon Barkley has the best-selling jersey in the NFL, according to the DICK's Sporting Goods Jersey Report.

Barkley has held the top spot for the week and last month. Eagles QB Carson Wentz is No.2, with Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott No.3. Jets rookie QB Sam Darnold checks in at No. 8. 

There wasn't much to critique when looking back at Giants TE Evan Engram's rookie season. He was one of Eli Manning's top targets as he hauled in 64 receptions for 722 yards and six touchdowns, which earned him a spot on the PFWA's All-Rookie Team. 

But no one is perfect, and Engram knows there is an area of his game he can improve on. Though he led all rookie tight ends in receptions, yards and touchdowns, he could have more in each category if he didn't drop 11 passes. 

Engram's catch rate was 55 percent last season, and that is what he is working on in preparing for this year. It already began during the team's offseason workouts.
