Veteran wideout Odell Beckham Jr. has agreed to a deal with the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens confirmed the move on Sunday, announcing that they agreed in principle on a one-year contract with Beckham.
According to multiple reports, Beckham will get a guaranteed $15 million annual salary from the Ravens as part of the agreement. In addition, the Pro Bowler will be able to earn an extra $3 million via bonuses and incentives.
Beckham was considered the top free agent left on the market this offseason. Several teams were reportedly interested in signing him but were turned off by his salary demands. The 30-year-old player reportedly asked between $20 million and $15 million annually on a multi-year deal, something teams were unwilling to give him considering his injury history.
The reason why the Ravens met Beckham’s asking price, albeit on a one-year commitment, was the fact that they had the lowest-producing wideout group in the league in three of the four past seasons. With Beckham in the building, Baltimore now has a proven No. 1 option on the position and a player that can elevate the entire team.
Odell Beckham missed the entire 2022 recovering from an ACL injury he suffered in Super Bowl LVI. He has 531 career catches for 7,367 and 56 touchdowns. Beckham’s NFL resume includes three Pro Bowl nods and two Second-Team All-Pro selections.
