Odell Beckham Questions Reports Suggesting Amount Of His Contract Request

Odell Beckham Jr. remains unsigned in NFL free agency and a recent report from Rich Cimini of ESPN claimed the 30-year-old was seeking as much as $15 million per season.

Beckham Jr. appears to have caught wind of that report, taking to Twitter to dispute those claims from the Jets' beat writer. 

The three-time Pro Bowl receiver questioned the notion he was seeking $15 million, going as far as to ask Cimini if this was some sort of April Fools' Day prank. 

"April fools was yesterday no? I be so confused where all these reports and numbers are comin from. 'per source,'" wrote Beckham Jr. on Twitter

A previous report indicated that Beckham's $15 million asking price was actually a step down from the $20 million he was previously seeking. Beckham made sure to clear the air, indicating those claims were untrue. 

After sitting out the entire 2022 NFL season, the wide receiver is seeking a return to the league in 2023. Beckham Jr. was present at the NFL Owners Meetings in late March and has been linked with a potential move to the Jets amid New York's push to land Aaron Rodgers in a trade with the Packers.

As for his asking price, Beckham Jr. indicated that any "source" reporting that he's seeking $15 million per season is misinformed.
