OBJ has bagged a one-year deal with the Ravens worth $18 million. Out of the total amount, a whopping $15 million comes in guaranteed money. The Ravens struggled in the playoffs last season and the inclusion of OBJ would give them a proven weapon to unleash when the 2023 season kicks off.

The big welcome
The Ravens will welcome their newest asset in Baltimore with a press conference on Thursday. It will be Odell Beckham Jr.’s introduction to the city of Baltimore, not that he needs any though. And it will feature the Ravens GM Eric DeCosta along with head coach John Harbaugh.
The Ravens went all out to acquire the wide receiver after facing intense scrutiny over an extension deal with QB Lamar Jackson. And this signing could solve that problem too as Jackson looked happy to welcome OBJ into the Ravens on the day of the announcement. Will he stay to play along with him, even if it is for the next season? Maybe the presser can offer a clearer picture.
