Odell Beckham Jr. signs one-year, $18M deal with Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens reached a one-year agreement with three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Sunday. The deal reportedly includes a $13.835 million signing bonus and is worth up to $18 million.
Beckham will reunite with newly-minted Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who coached Beckham in 2019 in the same role with the Cleveland Browns.
Beckham was scheduled to meet with the New York Jets on Monday, but that never came to fruition, as he confirmed he was joining Baltimore in an Instagram post Sunday evening. In the post, Beckham's son, Zydn, was wearing a Lamar Jackson jersey.
Beckham reportedly talked with Jackson on Sunday. Whether the two stars ultimately play together is uncertain, as the Ravens' superstar quarterback remains in a contract dispute with the team and has asked to be traded.
Beckham last played in 2021 with the Los Angeles Rams, with whom he won Super Bowl LVI. Beckham began his career with the New York Giants, where he was one of the NFL's best receivers over his first three seasons. He was traded to the Browns in 2019 and released during the 2021 season, after which he signed with the Rams.
Beckham was the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2014 before becoming the fastest player in NFL history to reach both 200 career receptions and 4,000 career receiving yards in 2016.
Over eight seasons, he has 531 career receptions, 7,367 receiving yards and 57 touchdowns.
Beckham recently hosted a workout on March 10 with a handful of teams in attendance.
He checked in at No. 23 in FOX Sports' top 50 NFL free agents ranker.
