New York Giants coach John Harbaugh dropped a truth bomb Friday about Odell Beckham Jr., saying he’s “done enough to make an NFL roster for sure.” Sounds like a slam dunk, right? Well, not so fast. While Harbaugh expressed confidence in the wide receiver’s play, he stopped short of actually confirming OBJ had earned a spot on *their* 53-man roster after the preseason finale against the Jets. It’s a classic coach move, praising the player without giving away the final decision.
What “Done Enough” Actually Means
Harbaugh’s exact words, caught by Fox Sports’ Ralph Vacchiano, were, “I think he has done enough to make an NFL roster for sure. He’s played well. He’s gotten better as camp’s gone along, and I think he deserves credit for that.” Those are strong words of praise for how OBJ has performed. He’s been grinding, showing improvement, and clearly impressing the coaching staff. But notice the subtle difference: “an NFL roster” versus “the Giants’ NFL roster.” This isn’t just semantics, it’s the difference between a job and being on the street. The Giants signed Beckham back in June, and now the clock is ticking.
The Clock is Ticking for OBJ’s Spot
This isn’t some casual decision; it’s crunch time. Teams across the league are making their brutal cuts, and the 53-man roster deadline is this Sunday at 6 p.m. ET. For Beckham, it’s a make-or-break moment. Has he truly done enough to warrant a spot on a team that brought him in mid-summer? Harbaugh’s confidence is great, but until that roster is official, it’s all talk. Every player in the league knows this time of year is gut-wrenching, and OBJ, despite his resume, is no exception. It’s a high-stakes waiting game, and the entire NFL is watching to see if his hard work this preseason translates into a solidified job.
While the league waits for all the roster decisions to shake out, our Seahawks were out there scrapping! Sam Darnold and the crew duked it out with the Kansas City Chiefs, finishing in a wild 9-9 tie. A tie! In Kansas City! It might be preseason, but you gotta feel that energy. We’re getting so close to the real deal, and seeing our guys battle like that, even for a tie, just makes you even hungrier for Week 1. What’s Brian Fleury cooking up for the offense? We’ll find out soon!
