Via NFL Media, the Ravens will pay Beckham $15 million guaranteed on his one-year deal. The money comes in the form of a $13.835 million signing bonus and a $1.165 million base salary.

As you can see below it has been awhile since OBJ has truly put up massive numbers. His last productive season came under Todd Monken in Cleveland. Monken is now the offensive coordinator in Baltimore.
