Odell Beckham Jr. is Cleveland-bound, but the star wide receiver penned an emotional goodbye to New York on his way out.
Beckham spent the past five seasons with the Giants after they selected him with the 12th overall pick in the 2014 draft, but was sent to the Browns with defensive end Olivier Vernon on Thursday as part of a blockbuster trade.
The 26-year-old posted a photo of himself on Instagram, thanking the Giants for their support and for giving him his first chance to be a part of the league.
"So many mixed emotions and feelings," Beckham wrote Thursday. "This is all, a lot to process but it is reality. I don't kno (sic) exactly what to say so just gotta keep it real and short. I want to thank the NY Giants organization for giving me an opportunity to do what God put me on this earth to do, I want to thank the organization and the owners for everything and especially giving me my first chance to be a part of the NFL.
"I want thank everyone in that building from the kitchen staff to my main man Jose! I loved you guys dearly and always will. I gave u my all every Sunday. To the fans, some happy, some not, I just wanna thank u guys for making my experience in NY SOMETHIN I'LL NEVER FORGET! To the New Yorkers and REAL NYG fans... you guys will always have a place in my heart, a beautiful city ... a beautiful place. Thank You for every last moment and experience. Without them, I wouldn't be exactly who I am today ! LUV"
A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Beckham compiled 5,476 yards on 390 receptions with 44 receiving touchdowns in 59 games with the Giants.
As part of the deal, the Browns sent right guard Kevin Zeitler and safety Jabrill Peppers to New York, in addition to their 2019 first-round pick (17th overall) and the 2019 third-round selection (95th overall) they acquired in a 2018 trade with the Patriots.
