Odell Beckham Jr. will play for his fourth NFL team. The Super Bowl LVI champion just signed his contract with the Baltimore Ravens and was questioned about Lamar Jacksonās future, sharing a huge update on the matter.
The Ravens just made the biggest heist of the season. Baltimore added Odell Beckham Jr. recently even though the New York Jets were seen as the favorites to sign him due to Aaron Rodgersā request.
According to reports, Beckham decided to play for Baltimore because of Lamar Jackson. However, the wide receiver just shared a huge update about the quarterbackās future that may change this scenario.
Odell Beckham Jr. shares huge update on Lamar Jacksonās continuity with the Ravens
Odell Beckham Jr. was looking to play with an elite quarterback this year. According to reports, the wide receiver grew tired of waiting for Aaron Rodgers to arrive at the New York Jets, and instead chose to join Lamar Jackson in Baltimore.
However, it is uncertain if Jackson will play for the Ravens this year. The non-exclusive franchise tag lets Lamar discuss with other teams. If he gets an offer, Baltimore could match it or allow the quarterback to leave in exchange for two first-round picks.
āDidnāt get any assurances for anything, you know lifeās uncertain,ā Beckham said at his introductory press conference on Thursday in Baltimore about Jacksonās situation. āI think that we donāt know whatās going to happen tomorrow, or the next day. We only know whatās happened in the past.
āMy thoughts would be that he would be here. I know that these two (Ravens GM Eric DeCosta and head coach John Harbaugh) want him to be here, and at the end of the day, thatās going to be up to them.ā
Currently, no clubs are interested in signing Lamar due to the high price of two first-round picks. Therefore, it appears that OBJ will play alongside Jackson this year, providing support as the quarterback seeks to prove himself to the rest of the league.
