Even with 5 million lower than beforehand thought, most groups may stay hesitant to signal the previous Professional Bowl wideout to such a hefty deal.

Beckham is likely to be anticipating someplace within the neighborhood of $15 million, however with so many strikes towards him, that might be an uphill battle that may not have a decision for a while. OBJ is on the draw back of 30, and he’s coming off an ACL damage that precipitated him to overlook the 2022 marketing campaign.

The reward for a crew that indicators Beckham could possibly be excessive, however there’s a excessive stage of threat that received’t be value that a lot cash for many. If he’s critical about making this comeback, OBJ will probably find yourself settling for lower than the reported $15 million he’s looking for.

The New York Jets have expressed curiosity, however their major focus proper now’s finishing this Aaron Rodgers deal which is taking far longer than it ought to. They’ve received to get him below the wage cap together with the remainder of A-Rod’s want record. The tough reality is, if OBJ is lifeless set on that $15 million tag for one yr, he is likely to be extremely upset when coaching camps roll round and he’s nonetheless with out an NFL residence.
