The Baltimore Ravens released veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. late Wednesday night with a post-June 1 designation. The likelihood of the move was first reported by ESPN’s Dan Graziano on Wednesday afternoon, before later being made official by the team.
Per Graziano, the 31-year-old wide receiver had his contract restructured with Baltimore in January, which eliminated the void years on the deal and allowed the Ravens to use a post-June 1 cut on him.
With the amended contract, the contract would have paid Beckham a salary of a $1.21 million in 2024 (the minimum for a player with at least seven years of NFL service) and $50 million in ’25. If Beckham was still on Baltimore’s roster at midnight ET on Thursday, the ’25 salary of $50 million would have become guaranteed.
