MINNEAPOLIS -- Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. believes he has waited long enough for a contract extension. Beckham is hoping to receive long-term security this offseason as he prepares to enter the final year of his contract.

"Hopefully to get it done," Beckham said of his mindset about the contract while on the red carpet of the NFL Honors show "It's that time just to get it over with. I really want to do it so I can move past it. It's too much sitting around thinking, 'Where am I going to be at?' I need to know where I can start buying furniture for a house. I want to have a place set where I know, 'OK, this is home. I can always go back to home.' So it's just a little intermediate process right now. I'm sure it will get worked out."

Beckham is scheduled to earn $8.4 million on his fifth-year option in 2018. He said last offseason that he wanted to become the highest-paid player in NFL history, but there were no serious talks of an extension last summer.

Beckham's salary was $1.8 million for the 2017 season, which was cut short when he fractured his ankle in Week 5. Beckham said he is "doing really good" in his rehab.

Beckham said he doesn't know if contract negotiations have started.

"My agent probably knows," Beckham said. "I don't really talk to him about it yet."

Co-owner John Mara said last Friday after new coach Pat Shurmur's introductory press conference that the team will deal with Beckham's contract "at the appropriate time. That is not necessarily right now." Mara reiterated that he wants Beckham to remain a Giant and said, "We will get something done at some point."

Mara said he wanted to wait until Beckham met with Shurmur. Beckham and Shurmur said their initial conversation went well.

"I think we have an understanding of what we want to do," Beckham said. "Just to talk to him and being with a guy who just loves football, I watched what he did in Minnesota and it was exciting, so I'm definitely looking forward to that."

New general manager Dave Gettleman was known as a hard-line negotiator as the Panthers' GM from 2013-17, but he wasn't shy about locking up Carolina's young stars to extensions. Beckham came away from his meeting with Gettleman full of optimism.

"It was great," Beckham said. "He seems like a straight-shooter. We only met once, but from the conversation you can kind of have an understanding of who a person is. It seems like this is going to be a very fun year."
