A week after leaving the Browns, OBJ found a new home in Los Angeles as the LA Rams were able to sign the wide receiver with $4.25 million for one year. Most of that money has been tied up to team-based incentives.
Beckham made his debut for the Rams last week, but things didn’t really go as planned for him. The Rams faced a crushing 10-31 defeat by the hands of the San Francisco 49ers. Odell didn’t have a big impact on the game. He wasn’t able to play much. OBJ caught two passes and bagged 18 yards. It’s clear that the wide receiver still has ways to go and things to learn with the Los Angeles Rams.
