New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. said Saturday he won't hold out of training camp even though he's yet to receive the rich contract extension he desires.

"Yes you will," Beckham told SNY's Ralph Vacchiano when asked if he'll be seen at training camp in July. "No holdout," he added.

Reports earlier in the offseason suggested Beckham was prepared to not set foot on the field until his contract was addressed, but his attendance throughout the Giants' offseason program indicated otherwise.

The 25-year-old is heading into the final year of his rookie contract. He's made it known he wishes to be the highest-paid receiver in football - if not the highest-paid player in the entire NFL.

However, Vacchiano reports - citing sources - that there's been no sign of progress in contract talks between Beckham and the Giants.

Beckham has been a limited participant in team workouts during the offseason while continuing rehabilitation on the ankle he fractured early last season. He registered at least 1,300 yards and 10 touchdowns in each of his first three campaigns, becoming the fastest player in league history to record 200 career catches and 4,000 career receiving yards along the way.
