Lamar Jackson Recruited Odell Beckham Jr.
2 years agoThe Baltimore Ravens signed wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to a one-year, $18 million deal on Sunday. Beckham and quarterback Lamar Jackson are friends, and Jackson helped recruit Beckham knowing that he'll probably be under center for the Ravens in 2023. Although another team could still sign Jackson to an offer sheet this offseason, all signs continue to point to Jackson remaining with Baltimore on the franchise tag or on a long-term extension. OBJ didn't play at all in 2022 after suffering a torn ACL in the Super Bowl early in 2022, but he still probably represents the best receiver that Jackson has worked with in his time with the Ravens. In addition to Beckham, Jackson will have trusted tight end Mark Andrews and wideouts Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor to throw to in 2023.
