Ravens Free Agency: Odell Beckham Jr. To Work Out For Teams Friday
The Baltimore Ravens are in dire need of upgrades at the wide receiver position. Now that quarterback Lamar Jackson has been franchise tagged, the next step is to address who he'll be throwing the ball to.
Last season, former Giants, Browns and Rams wideout Odell Beckham Jr. was courted by the likes of the Cowboys, Giants, Bills and Ravens, but was not yet healthy enough to workout or play.
Beckham was injured in the Rams' Super Bowl victory over the Bengals one year ago last month, tearing his ACL for the second time in as many seasons. Still recovering into the last NFL season, Beckham waited for offers that didn't come. Mainly because he wouldn't work out for any of the interested parties.
But now, a Beckham workout for NFL teams is scheduled for Friday in Arizona as reported by NFL Network which adds that in terms of his rehabbed knee, Beckham now is “100 percent.”
The NFL has announced that Ryan Willis, a QB from Virginia Tech who is currently under contract to the Memphis Showboats of the USFL, will be the thrower in the workout.
Beckham is eligible to sign with any team at any time, having become a free agent in March 2022.
At one time, Beckham, 30, was seeking a $20 million APY deal and a "long-term home.'' That rumored number moved to $13 million APY at the end of the year.
And now? OBJ - who last played in 2021 and who hasn't had a 1,000-yard season since - 2019 will be working out in pursuit of a big deal ... and a big return to the NFL.
