Odell Beckham Jr. hasn’t suited up for an NFL game since tearing his ACL in Super Bowl LVI in early 2022.
But according to one NFL insider this Saturday, Beckham is reportedly hoping to become one of the league’s highest-paid receivers when, or if, he signs a new deal this offseason.
In a Pro Football Talk article released tonight, Mike Florio pointed out what he’s heard as it relates to Beckham’s contract demands.
“At one point during the 2022 season, a report emerged that free-agent receiver Odell Beckham Jr. wants $20 million per year. We’re told that Beckham still has that number in mind,” Florio said.
OBJ is still looking for $20M per year; it's hard to imagine him getting that without proving himself first. https://t.co/BEQHGW20iQ

Beckham, should he receive the $20 million per year contract he’s reportedly seeking, would become the 12th-highest paid receiver in the NFL. He’d make the same as Bucs’ wideout Chris Godwin, Cleveland’s Amari Cooper and Los Angeles’ Mike Williams.
However, as Florio put it, “It’s hard to imagine it happening, without Beckham proving that he can play at a high level.”
While it’s going to be nearly impossible for the three-time Pro Bowler to prove that before playing any meaningful snaps, Beckham did show off his athleticism for 12 NFL teams at private workout on Friday.
