Odell Beckham Jr. didn’t play in 2022 because he was recovering from a torn ACL which he suffered while playing in Super Bowl LVI with the Rams. Last April, he signed a one-year, $15 million deal with the Ravens and had a successful season. However, after a week of free agency, it seems like Beckham may not be returning to Baltimore. This move was anticipated after the Ravens restructured his contract in January, allowing them to release him after June 1 without significant financial consequences.

Reportedly, both the New York Jets and the Chiefs showed interest in signing Beckham last year, and since they need wide receivers even for the upcoming season, they might consider adding him to their teams. Both teams have enough salary cap (over $15 million) remaining for the next season to accommodate Beckham’s contract.
