Baltimore Ravens Make Final Decision on $15 Million Super Bowl Champion Amid Free Agency
After the Baltimore Ravens’ 2023 season ended in the conference championship, there were plenty of questions about Odell Beckham Jr.’s future with the team. Now, we might finally have an answer to it.
By the looks of it, Beckham won’t be returning to Baltimore after his one-year stint.
Beckham signed a one-year, $15 million deal with the Ravens in the past offseason following Lamar Jackson’s recruitment of him.
OBJ, who won the Super Bowl LVI with the Los Angeles Rams but missed the whole 2022 season due to a torn ACL, had a solid campaign with the Ravens. He tallied 35 receptions for 565 yards and three touchdowns, establishing himself as a key weapon for Jackson.
Baltimore went on to top the whole AFC and the league with a 13-4 record. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to make it past the eventual back-to-back Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship.
After their campaign ended, Beckham was asked about his future in the NFL and with Baltimore. However, OBJ didn’t sound like someone thinking about retirement, emphasizing that he still feels he has a lot left in the tank.
But whether he stays with the Ravens or move on from another team is a big question for him as well, only saying that he doesn’t know the “politically correct” answer to that.
“To me, if there is anything I felt about myself — regardless of anybody’s opinion or anything like that — is that I know that I can still play football, and I know that I still have [stuff] in the tank,” Beckham said.
