Odell Beckham Jr. Inks Deal With Ravens & FaceTimes with Lamar Jackson! Jackson Coming Back To Ravens?!

Share

Lamar Jackson and Aaron Rodgers are obviously the two biggest stories of this NFL offseason. Jackson’s failure to hire a agent and the Packers squeezing every ounce of life out of the New York Jets in trade compensation. The other big story is of course where was Odell Beckham Jr. playing. We have the answer now as he will play for the Baltimore Ravens.

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.

OBJ had previously talked up Lamar Jackson when the NFL Draft was underway asking essentially why no one had selected Lamar as of yet.

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.

Jackson and Lamar has been previously talked about playing together per The Score’s Jordan Schultz:

If Jackson is not traded, he will have to play under the non-exclusive franchise tag, paying him $32 million this season. I believe at this point Jackson ends up playing for the Baltimore Ravens. There is no indication any team is willing to give Lamar what he is asking for. The only team that could circle back around to the Ravens QB would be the Colts “IF” they can not land a quarterback in the NFL Draft. Colts owner Jim Irsay has already made it clear there would be no guaranteed contract for Lamar in Indianapolis.

It is turning into a very interesting NFL offseason. Certainly, giving the NBA and MLB a run for their money involving transactions.
