Before the NFC Divisional Playoff Game between the Giants and Eagles, Beckham shared his thoughts on Twitter, and in doing so, poked the bear:

The Eagles demolished the Giants, 38-7, to advance to the NFC Championship Game, where they will host the Dallas Cowboys or San Francisco 49ers.
As for Beckham, he remains a free agent, almost one year after tearing his ACL in Super Bowl LVI.
In November and December, rumors were rampant that Beckham was close to signing on the dotted line and returning to the field.
Among the teams reportedly chasing Beckham was the Giants, who hosted their former first-round pick for a visit at their facility in East Rutherford.

In the end, the Giants (and the rest of the NFL) passed on Beckham, who will head into the new league year as one of the top receivers available on the open market.
