“OK so I know you guys will have a lot of questions, I’m sure, about Odell,” Daboll began. “And here’s what I’d say about that. We had dinner with him last night. We had a good visit. And really other than that I don’t have anything else to add. My focus is on Washington and any questions on that? That’s what I’ve got to say.” 

When asked by a reporter if Beckham was “open” or “closed” to signing in New York and reuniting with the team that drafted him, Daboll sidestepped and said “I’d just say we had a good dinner. Great steak.”

Beckham is garnering plenty of interest from contenders around the league after recovering from a torn ACL suffered in February’s Super Bowl win with the Rams over the Bengals.

The 30 year-old wide receiver played in 14 games last season with the Browns and the Rams and caught 44 passes for 537 yards and five touchdowns.
