Josina Anderson reports that free agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. told her he will fly to New York on Sunday in order to meet with the Jets on Monday.
Ian Rapoport mentions that the meeting will include not only a physical but a discussion about what to expect should he join the offense led by QB Aaron Rodgers.
Despite not playing a snap during the 2022 season, Rodgers spoke briefly about having Beckham on his wish list during his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.
Rich Cimini of ESPN reported that Beckham is believed to be looking for a one-year, $15 million contract from a team this offseason.
At one point, there was talk that Beckham was asking for around $20 million per year. However, Cimini suggests that a deal in the range of $10 million to $12 million including incentives is more likely.
Beckham previously held a private workout for interested teams in Arizona. There were reportedly 11 teams in attendance including the Panthers, Giants, Patriots, Rams, Cardinals, 49ers, Bills, Chiefs, Vikings, Browns, and Ravens. A few of those teams have since made moves that likely take them out of the running.
Beckham pushed back on some reports saying he’s looking for $20 million a year but said on social media he’s not playing for $4 million either.
It is believed that the market for Beckham has narrowed since, with the remaining teams including the Jets, Rams, and Ravens.
Beckham, 30, was taken with the No. 12 overall pick by the Giants back in 2014. He was set to make a base salary of $8,459,000 for the 2018 season when he agreed to a new five-year extension worth up to $95 million that includes $65 million in total guarantees.
The Giants traded Beckham to the Browns in 2019 for the No. 17 overall pick, their second third-round pick, and S Jabrill Peppers. The Browns reworked his contract before waiving him after the trade deadline in 2021. He signed a one-year deal with the Rams to finish out the season but tore his ACL in the Super Bowl win and sat out all of 2022.
In 2021, Beckham appeared in 14 games for the Browns and Rams and caught 44 receptions for 537 yards receiving and five touchdowns.
