What happened

“never wanted to leave” the Giants — and he might be back soon.

Why it matters

Big Blue had Beckham in for a workout April 20, and while that didn’t result in him getting signed, the door has been cracked open for a potential return to New York.

Common ground

After receiver and kick returner Gunner Olszewski sustained a torn right Achilles tendon Friday, Beckham appeared at Brian Burns’ charity softball game over the weekend and indicated that he’s itching for a Giants reunion.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
