Odell Beckham Jr. makes his first public remarks after the New York Giants release him, posting commentary in response to an Instagram fan video. In the message, Beckham says he “should’ve known better,” describing the situation as something he expected or anticipated despite being brought back by the team earlier in the season.

The outlets report that Beckham’s comments come shortly after the surprise end to his stint with the Giants. CBS Sports adds that he frames the outcome as benefiting the team, saying the Giants “won” from the attention surrounding his return. Yahoo Sports and The Athletic both emphasize the same core theme—Beckham’s view that he should have foreseen the outcome following his re-signing and the resulting spotlight.
