Odell Beckham Jr. has made quite a few highlight-reel plays throughout his lengthy NFL career and has been compensated handsomely by a variety of teams for his services.
The wide receiver’s net worth and 2023 salary are certainly nothing to sneeze at, either.
Odell Beckham Jr.’s Net Worth
Beckham has raked in plenty of cash during his NFL career, particularly after becoming the NFL’s highest-paid wide receiver in 2018 when he signed a five-year, $95 million contract with the New York Giants. The deal came after a stellar first three seasons of his career had tailed off a tad due to an injury derailing in 2017.
Beckham also signed a lucrative shoe deal with Nike in 2017 that has contributed to his net worth.
The Giants, who had drafted Beckham with a first-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, then dealt him to the Cleveland Browns just seven months after signing the contract with him. OBJ earned plenty of that contract money despite eventually agreeing to a settlement for his release from the Browns after an up-and-down partnership.
Beckham then signed with the Los Angeles Rams and never fully took off with the franchise before an injury sidelined him for all of the 2022 season. He then returned to the field after signing a lucrative contract with the Baltimore Ravens this offseason.
Estimates vary on Beckham’s actual net worth with Forbes estimating it to be $26.5 million back in 2019, while other sites place the figure in the $40 million range or higher.
OBJ’s Salary for 2023 Season
Beckham’s current contract with the Ravens comes in at a whopping one-year, $18 million, with $15 million fully guaranteed and the other $3 million coming from meeting potential incentives.
Even the $15 million base figure comes in above proven NFL wide receivers Mike Evans, DK Metcalf, and A.J. Brown, according to ESPN.
The contract also represents Baltimore’s largest one-year payout to a wide receiver in team history, $5 million ahead of Anquan Boldin’s earnings of $10 million in 2010.
“Where we are as a team right now, this was the guy that we felt could help take us to the next level,” Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said at the time of the signing. “I have to tell you, after two minutes [at the annual league meeting] in Arizona sitting across the table from Odell, I had no doubt in my mind that this was the right guy for the team.”
It’s a move that has seen mixed results thus far as Beckham has been far from his career-best production this season.
He is up to 31 catches for 505 yards and three touchdowns on 57 targets through 11 appearances, including five starts. He ranks as the Ravens’ third-leading receiver on the year behind rookie sensation Zay Flowers and standout tight end Mark Andrews.
