Details on Odell Beckham Jr.'s contract with Rams

By Zac Wassink | Last updated 11/12/21

Contrary to multiple previous reports, it took big-name wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. less than a full week after his official release from the Cleveland Browns to agree to terms with the Los Angeles Rams ahead of the Rams' "Monday Night Football" game at the San Francisco 49ers.

Details of those terms have emerged, courtesy of Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated's MMQB:

Details on Rams WR Odell Beckham's 1-year deal, per source.

• $750K base for rest of the season.
• $500K to sign.
• $500K if Rams win WC or get a bye.
• $750K for divisional round win.
• $750K for NFC title win.
• $500k for playing in SB *or* $1M for winning it.

So it's $1.25 million base pay for the rest of the year, $3 million max in incentives. To trigger the incentives, he has to play in at least 1 play of each of the aforementioned playoff games.

Also, Beckham gets $4.25 million from the Browns. None of that is offset.

... And by "win WC or get a bye", I meant the Rams win a wild card round game or get a bye (ran out of characters).

$500K for PLAYING in the Super Bowl. He gets on the field for a snap, and the incentive is triggered.

Before Beckham made his decision, he was linked with the Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints in stories and rumors. From examining Breer's tweets, however, it's understandable why the three-time Pro Bowl selection chose the Rams. Los Angeles enters the weekend at 7-2 with a high-powered offense and also a championship-caliber defense, and the Rams were viewed as Super Bowl contenders before Thursday's developments.

Many have suggested Beckham will struggle for targets, as he did with Cleveland, as part of a passing attack that features Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, Van Jefferson and Tyler Higbee. Rams general manager Les Snead isn't worried.

"Not concerned but that’s still evolving," Snead said of the offense adding Beckham, per Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. "We wouldn’t have, let’s call it, partnered with Odell if we felt like it was going to be a concern, but the chemistry aspect still has to evolve."

We'll soon find out if Snead's gamble pays off.
