Odell Beckham Jr. is officially off the free agent market.
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero, Beckham has chosen the Baltimore Ravens as his next team. Rapoport added that Beckham is signing a one-year deal worth a max value of $18 million.
And so, for the first time in more than a year, Beckham is officially under an NFL contract again.
On Saturday, multiple reports indicated that Beckham was slated to fly into the New York area to meet with the Jets on Monday. But the Jets will have never gotten the chance to recruit the three-time Pro Bowler, who returns to the AFC North.
Wide receiver was a pressing need for the Ravens heading into this offseason. Among all Baltimore WRs, Demarcus Robinson led the team in 2022 with just 458 yards. Devin Duvernay was second on the team with 407 yards.

Tight end Mark Andrews led all Ravens with 847 yards in 15 games. Now, Andrews and 2021 first-rounder Rashod Bateman (limited to 18 games through his first two seasons because of injuries) get some much-needed support in the pass-catching department.
Beckham suffered a torn ACL in the Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl 56 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. He was cleared for a return in November but never wound up signing a contract with a team.
For his career, Beckham has 531 receptions for 7,367 yards and 56 touchdowns.
