Months After Ravens Deal, $15,000,000 Earner Odell Beckham Jr. Sacrifices His Prized Possession

It has only been a few months since Odell Beckham Jr. was made an offer that he couldn’t refuse. As the Super Bowl champ was making a comeback from injury, his new home became the Ravens, after moving from team to team for a few years. A whopping $15 million deal was signed for one year, keeping the fact in mind that Beckham hadn’t played in the league for about 14 months, due to his said ACL injury. Meanwhile, the Pro Bowler has yet another update!

The star WR recently let go of a prized possession, which he held for several years to his name. It was handed off to a third-round pick by the Giants this season, which OBJ extended his approval to.

Rookie WR’s new possession is Odell Beckham Jr. approved!

The rookie WR in question is none other than Jalin Hyatt, and his recent decision on Wednesday immediately sparked controversy. He opted to change his jersey number from 84 to 13, a number that Odell Beckham Jr. had adorned during five years of glory with the team. In an interview, Hyatt explained his admiration for Beckham and his preference for a lower jersey number. His first choice was 11, worn by QB Phil Simms and retired by the team, leading to his second choice of 13.

Amidst this development, Beckham took to his X, formerly known as Twitter account, to endorse the decision made by his successor. He tweeted, “ROCK OUT ONE THREE,” tagging Hyatt in the post. The rookie WR responded with, “Love family!” This update has received mixed reactions from fans, with some expressing hesitation about the rookie’s move.

Beckham is gearing up for the season opener on September 10 against the Texans, a highly anticipated matchup due to the team’s restructuring this year.

How are the Ravens looking this season?

The Purple Pain faced a challenging preseason, with most of their starters sidelined. However, the rookies stepped up and showcased their skills on the gridiron, with WR Zay Flowers shining brightly in the spotlight. The injury concern surrounding star Quarterback Lamar Jackson is palpable, as he missed five games in each of the last two seasons, and last season’s playoff upset shattered fans’ hopes. Nevertheless, Jackson still stands among the league’s top quarterbacks, with some experts already tipping him as a potential MVP candidate for the upcoming season.

With significant reshuffling in the offensive roster, the Ravens have the potential to emerge as serious Super Bowl contenders in the upcoming season. Their success will hinge on the starters staying healthy and replicating their playoff performance from last year.
