Odell Beckham Jr. had options in NFL free agency, high-profile options. The Ravens would certainly qualify as one of those “high-profile” options, but the list also included rumors of interest from the Cowboys, Bills, Chiefs, Giants, Jets and others, as well. But ultimately, Beckham agreed to a one-year, $15 million deal that includes up to $3 million in (very realistic) incentives with Baltimore.
The deal came as a bit of a surprise, as Beckham himself even said during an interview with the Complex Sports show Volume that he was looking to spend the next "three or four years" with the team he eventually signed with.
Beckham recently discussed his decision and the long grind that came with rehabbing from his second major injury in three years. And as he admitted to The Athletic's Dan Pompei, Beckham was "resistant" about joining the Ravens, citing other teams he had an interest in and the hilarious fact that Baltimore "always whipped my ass."
