The NFL's regular season is over, which for most teams, means it's time to start figuring out plans for the offseason.
NFL free agency is a huge part of the process, and along with the NFL Draft, it has everyone preparing for what should be a very active couple of months.
We've officially come up with our own contract projections for the NFL's top free agents that include context behind each player's 2023 season, the likelihood of a franchise tag, the projection itself, and the first-year cap hit for a team that's “all-in” and is needing to reduce that first-year hit in order to maximize their cap dollars.
So, without further ado, let's check out the projection for Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
Odell Beckham Jr. 2024 Contract Projection
Beckham has done a good job restoring image after knee injuries had robbed him of some of his prime years. But his overall production is still not that of a premier receiver. Averaging just 4.4 targets and 2.5 catches per game, Beckham is mostly a quality complement at this point in his career.
While he isn’t a volume option anymore he did set a career high in yards per reception (16.1) in 2023. It is unlikely he is able to match the $15 million deal he got from the Ravens in 2023 as teams are unlikely to believe he is a No. 1 receiver anymore. Still Beckham can play mercenary for hire as an intriguing and occasionally dynamic secondary option.
- Franchise Tag Likelihood: Low
- 1 year, $10.0 million, $10.0 million APY, $10 million GTD
- Year One Cap Hit: $3.6 million
