Odell Beckham Jr. Questions Rumors About $20M Contract Demand, Says '4 Ain't Enough'

Free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. seemed to dispel the rumor that he is seeking a contract worth $20 million per year on Saturday.

OBJ tweeted the following, indicating that while he may not be looking for $20 million annually, he also doesn't want to be lowballed:

Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reported on Beckham's desire to land a deal that pays him $20 million per season last week, but NFL Network's Tom Pelissero previously reported OBJ had made "no financial demands" after working out for multiple teams.

While Beckham flirted with the idea of signing with a team last season, it never happened, and he ended up sitting out the entire 2022 campaign.

The three-time Pro Bowler suffered a torn ACL in the Los Angeles Rams' Super Bowl win over the Cincinnati Bengals at the conclusion of the 2021 season, but not before registering two receptions for 52 yards and the game's first touchdown.

After a standout collegiate career at LSU, OBJ broke into the NFL as the No. 12 overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft by the New York Giants.

Beckham was dominant out of the gates, finishing with at least 90 catches, 1,300 yards and 10 touchdowns in each of his first three seasons, earning a Pro Bowl selection each time.

Injuries began to take their toll on Beckham over the next six seasons, however, and he appeared in every regular-season game only once during that span.

After an ill-fated stint with the Cleveland Browns, Beckham was waived and landed with the Rams during the 2021 season.

The move paid dividends for OBJ and the Rams, as he racked up 27 grabs for 305 yards and five touchdowns in eight regular-season games in L.A., followed by 21 catches for 288 yards and two scores in four playoff contests.

Per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, as many as 14 teams were present for Beckham's workout last week, including the Buffalo Bills and Giants, both of whom met with Beckham while he was a free agent last season.

Nearly all of the other top free-agent options at wide receiver have been signed already, including JuJu Smith-Schuster, Jakobi Meyers and Allen Lazard.

Some obvious injury risks come along with the 30-year-old Beckham, but he could also be worth the risk for many teams in need of another offensive weapon.

The Bills need a reliable WR2 to pair with Stefon Diggs, the Kansas City Chiefs need a replacement for Smith-Schuster after he signed with the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens are in desperate need of a WR1.

There should conceivably be a large market for Beckham, so while he may not approach $20 million per season, $4 million per year shouldn't be enough to land him, either.
