Odell Beckham Jr.'s Price? Less Than $20M, More Than $4M
Odell Beckham Jr. has made it clear he wants to return to the NFL for the 2023 season. But how much money it will cost a team to get his services is in question ... even in his thinking.
The former Pro Bowl wide receiver took to Twitter on Saturday to refute reports he seeks $20 million per year.

Beckham missed the entire 2022 season after tearing an ACL during the Los Angeles Rams' Super Bowl LVI victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in February 2022.
To demonstrate his health and fitness, he worked out on March 10 in Arizona and has since drawn interest from multiple teams.
So far, the top free-agent wide wide receivers have signed for $11 million per season:
- Allen Lazard got a four-year, $44 million deal from the New York Jets, where he seems likely to be reunited with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
- Juju Smith-Schuster left the Super Bowl-champion Kansas City Chiefs to take a three-year, $33 million deal with the New England Patriots.
- Jakobi Meyers received a similar deal as Smith-Schuster to leave the New England Patriots for the Las Vegas Raiders.
If one averages OBJ's figures, the $12 million puts him in the range of the top of this class.
