'Friend To The Ravens!' Eric DeCosta, Odell Beckham Jr. Discussing New Contract via Text

After sitting out the entire 2022 season and signing with the Baltimore Ravens last offseason, wideout Odell Beckham Jr. is once again looking for a new team.

After sitting out the entire 2022 season and signing with the Baltimore Ravens last offseason, wideout Odell Beckham Jr. is once again looking for a new team.

Ravens general manager Erick DeCosta spoke to the media at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis on Tuesday and made comments suggesting the possibility that OBJ will return to Charm City in 2024.

“We’ve just texted,” DeCosta said. “He’s a great, great guy. I love Odell.

“He’s become a great friend of mine and a friend to the Ravens, and I think we’ll just kind of assess and see what happens over the next couple of weeks.”

Last season, Beckham caught 35 balls for 565 yards with three touchdowns in the regular season, then added four catches for 34 yards in two postseason matchups.

Last offseason, OBJ signed with the Ravens for one year and $15 million and included up to $3 million in incentives. Beckham earned $1 million of those incentives with 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns.

That breaks down as $250,000 for catching at least 30 passes, $500,000 for gaining at least 500 yards receiving, and $250,000 for his three touchdowns. That means the Ravens paid OBJ $16 million for 35 catches, 565 yards and three scores - hardly a bargain.
