Even the OBJ, 31, is currently an unrestricted free agent. He spent this past season on the Baltimore Ravens
team after signing a one-year deal for $18 million. During Beckham’s 10-year career in the NFL, he has recorded
566 catches for 7,932 receiving yards and has caught 59 touchdowns. Over the last few years, he has dealt with a variety of injuries. The former LSU player hasn’t played a full season of football since the 2019 season when he was with the Cleveland Browns
Jets-OBJ Is a Legitimate Possibility This Offseason If the Jets pursued OBJ this offseason it wouldn’t be surprising..
“Odell, he wanted to play here,”
Gardner told
Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated back in May of 2023. “It was to the point where he was picking his jersey. He was telling me, like, ‘Hey, ask so-and-so if I can get the jersey [number I want].’ He was going to wear number 7.” According to the official Jets
team and the NFL Jersey Numbers social media account, the No. 7 Jets jersey number remains unclaimed in 2024. “I’ll say as this goes on and on, assuming he still wants to play football, like if nobody wants Odell Beckham [Jr], just nobody wants [OBJ] and the Jets come out of this draft with let’s say offensive line at [pick] 10 and then they take a receiver we like at [pick] 72 but it’s not a guy like he’s on the field getting 50 to 60 targets. Would you be shocked if Odell Beckham is here [on the Jets] on a one-year $3 million deal with incentives that can jack the deal up,” Connor Rogers
of NBC Sports openly asked Joe Caporoso on “Badlands?” his co-host Rogers explained that the argument from the Jets side could be Mike Williams
isn’t ready yet from his torn ACL last year and we’ll see if the rookie third-round pick “can push Odell.” This would give the Jets the luxury of not rushing Williams back before he is ready. “For Odell, he [would] be back in New York. He loves that kind of market and the attention,” Rogers explained on the podcast. Rogers said he isn’t predicting that this is 100% going to happen, but the longer OBJ remains a free agent the lower his price tag will drop and the more sense it’ll make for the Jets. New York Jets CB Sauce Gardner posted on social media that he was hanging out with free agent WR Odell Beckham Jr which has sparked rumors.
