Ravens fans might be Star Wars fans. Because they have ‘A New Hope’. Alright, maybe that wasn’t really the perfect analogy, but with their latest moves, the Ravens have certainly created a room of opportunity to sign their Superstar QB, Lamar Jackson. And it would seem that they have more than just us believing in their chances. 

While the move to sign Odell Beckham Jr. is certainly a high-risk, high-reward move, the payoff for the move is much greater than the on-field outlook. For the Ravens, signing OBJ gives them a chance to make Lamar Jackson rethink his trade demands from the team. And perhaps, Beckham Jr. could be the missing link that propels the Ravens to a Super Bowl. 

Former Cowboy sparks Ravens-Lamar Jackson reuniting rumors

Many have expressed concerns about Beckham’s injury history and lack of availability. But there seems to be a believer in the trade for the Ravens. Former Cowboys defensive end turned analyst Marcus Spears believes that the move could pay off big. Especially with the off-field chemistry between the duo of Lamar Jackson and OBJ. 

For Spears, the move for OBJ is a gamble for the Ravens. The risks are extremely high, but the rewards, perhaps, are even higher. For that matter, Spears views the move as one of the biggest game-changing moves in the league over the last few years. Here is the full excerpt from Spears:

“You either crazy or you a genius. Either way is risky, and that’s what gambling is. But if this turns out that Odell Beckham Jr stays healthy and has a really good season, and this move creates an avenue, or a lane, in order for you to get Lamar Jackson back, this is one of the biggest moves that we’ve seen in the league in a minute.”

The friendship and chemistry between Jackson and Beckham Jr. could play a major role in the QB measuring his next move. So, the question then is: What will Lamar do?

How will the OBJ signing affect Lamar Jackson?

Lamar Jackson and Odell Beckham Jr. are certainly good friends off the field. This was evident after the two celebrated the latter’s arrival to Baltimore with a big bash at a Miami Club. The two even Facetimed each other after the signing was announced. Perhaps the arrival of Beckham will make Lamar reconsider his trade demand from the Ravens. 

What he ultimately decides to do, is still a complete mystery. But the duo has the potential to cause mayhem in the league if everything goes as planned. Only time will tell whether the Beckham signing will prove to be a wise gamble for the Ravens. But for now, the tandem between the two has analysts buzzing about the potential of a Jackson-Beckham connection.
