PHOENIX _ John Mara said the toughest phone calls he had to make when it came to trading Odell Beckham Jr. earlier this month were not to his general manager and not to any player. Rather, they were to two of his grandsons when he had to tell them the Giants were parting ways with their favorite player.
"Both of them sobbed uncontrollably on the phone," Mara, the co-owner of the Giants, said at the NFL's League Meetings on Sunday, addressing the decisions the franchise made this offseason for the first time. "One of them is speaking to me now, the other one is not so sure."
There were a lot of people outside the Mara family who felt like crying when they heard the news themselves. And there were a lot of people who were thrilled that the Giants had moved on from Beckham.
