Earlier this yr, receiver Odell Beckham Jr. signed a one-year take care of the Ravens. He’s coming into that one yr viewing it as the ultimate yr of his profession.

“I’m thinking like this is my last year,” Beckham stated, through Dan Pompei of TheAthletic.com. “I’m going to give it my all this year. And then if something happens after that, we can go from there.”

Beckham initially didn’t need to go to Baltimore. The supply the Ravens in the end made — $15 million plus one other $3 million in real looking incentives — swayed him.

“If I’m honest, I was resistant,” Beckham stated, through Pompei. “There were other places I wanted to go. I wasn’t necessarily a Ravens fan because the Ravens always whipped my ass.”

Beckham was going to have a big function in whipping Cincinnati’s ass earlier than he suffered a non-contact knee harm in Super Bowl LVI. It wasn’t a torn ACL as a result of he had no ACL. Beckham spent his complete time with the Rams with out an ACL. Per Pompei, solely a handful of gamers on the workforce knew about it: quarterback Matthew Stafford, receiver Cooper Kupp, linebacker Von Miller, and cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

Beckham, per Pompei, informed Kupp after the NFC Championship that he was glad there was just one sport to play, as a result of Beckham didn’t suppose his knee would make it by way of two extra video games.

Beckham initially thought-about calling it a profession, after the knee gave out through the first half of the Super Bowl.

“I went through a lot the last couple of years, and I thought it was over,” Beckham stated. “I didn’t need to get again up on the horse and do the identical tune and dance once more.

He’ll be on the horse once more this yr with the Ravens. How it performs out will go a great distance towards letting Beckham know whether or not he’ll be calling it a profession, 10 years after he was drafted.
