New York Jets turned down Odell Beckham Jr during phone call in Aaron Rodgers blow

Odell Beckham Jr is looking forward to his return season in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens, but the New York Jets came in with a last-minute offer to try and sign the wide receiver.

The Ravens announced the signing of Jackson on a one-year $18million (£14.5m) deal earlier this month, with $15m (£12m) of that already guaranteed. It was a huge deal for a receiver that hasn't played since the 2021 Super Bowl, with Beckham Jr missing the following campaign after a second torn ACL injury.

But Beckham Jr's talent is clear to see, and if he can replicate his previous form then the Ravens could be set for a positive season - even though they're yet to strike a new deal with quarterback Lamar Jackson. Beckham Jr had been linked with a move to the Jets due to his interest in playing with Aaron Rodgers, but the receiver rejected their late approach over the phone.
