Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has signed a new $18 million deal and the Internet is in shock.

During the 2022 Super Bowl, Odell Beckham Jr. put on a show helping the Los Angeles Rams take home their first NFL championship. While he won his first ring he also tore his ACL and was forced to miss the entire 2022-2023 season. Since then, he’s been courted by multiple teams interested in signing him but Odell made it clear the money had to “make sense” hence why he wouldn’t be returning to the Rams.

On Saturday, Beckham was in Miami for UFC287 to support his friend Israel Adesanya and he was spotted smiling from ear to ear. Now we’re learning that Odell’s grin was for a good reason.

Sports analysts are reporting that the wide receiver is signing with the Baltimore Ravens, the one team that was never linked to him in previous months. Beckham’s new deal was negotiated by agent Zeke Sandu and is a very nice offering. He will receive $13.835 million for his signing bonus, a base salary of $1.165 million, and $3 million in reachable incentives making for a hefty $18 million dollar payday for one of the most spectacular players of the last decade.

NFL fans will debate if he is worth the price, but Odell will have every opportunity to silence naysayers.

The football star has since posted a picture of his son Zydn Beckham in a Ravens jersey.
