Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will become a free agent in March. Shortly before the Super Bowl he announces that he would even give up money to stay with the Los Angeles Rams.

Munich – Just a few months ago, things were looking anything but good for Odell Beckham Jr. professionally. At the Cleveland Browns he did not harmonise with quarterback Baker Mayfield and could hardly bring himself into the game profitably.

After his release, OBJ found a new team with the Los Angeles Rams, where he feels really comfortable. After signing a one-year contract, the wide receiver will become a free agent in March.

Regardless of whether or not the 29-year-old can crown himself Super Bowl champion with the Rams in their clash against the Bengals this evening, Beckham Jr. is sure to become one of the most coveted players in free agency – if he hits the market at all.

Is OBJ giving up money for Rams?

L.A. has very little wiggle room financially for the upcoming season, as the team is already more than 13.5 million over cap space. So presumably the pass receiver could pick up significantly more money in a move to another team. But is that even the point?

At a press conference before the Super Bowl, OBJ was asked if he would make financial sacrifices to improve his chances of returning to the Rams in the offseason. His answer was unequivocal: “Yes, of course. “

And continued, “I just want to focus on winning this game right now because I feel like everything else will take care of itself if I win this game. But this team, it feels good in my heart, like home.”

Moreover, the athlete explained that many people have already approached him about enjoying the game again and having a smile on his face. “That means everything to me, because when you play with that joy in your heart, only good things can happen. “
