Odell Beckham Jr. has signed on with the Los Angeles Rams. It’s the second exclamation point the Californians have put on the deal in a matter of days. The franchise seems to have had the final say on the contract.

Munich – So the decision has been made. For days there was speculation about where Odell Beckham Jr. would pitch his tents after being released by the Cleveland Browns. Now we know the answer: Los Angeles, with the Rams.

There the star receiver signed a contract until the end of the season. “OBJ” had free agency because no franchise pulled him off the waiver wire. Which may have been due to his thick contract and the cap space needed accordingly.

“OBJ” can rake in $4.25 million

However, he apparently does not necessarily have to accept major financial losses. NFL insider Ian Rapoport reports that the 29-year-old would give up three million US dollars.

But according to the reporter, Beckham Jr. can collect up to 4.25 million US dollars with his signature in LA. That’s about the amount he would have collected with the Browns in the remaining weeks of the regular season.

Bonuses depend on team success

Basic salary is only 1.25 million US dollars, which consists of 500,000 US dollars signing bonus and 750,000 US dollars distributed over the nine weeks.

The remaining three million US dollars are bonuses that are closely linked to team success.

The Rams gave WR Odell Beckham Jr a 1-year deal worth up to $4.25M, source said.
Details:
– $500K signing bonus
– $750K for the rest of the season
– Another $3M available in team-based incentives for how they finish the regular season and the postseason.

Deep playoff run would please “OBJ” account

So for “OBJ”, too, it’s not primarily about shining in the new kit and outshining all his teammates. It’s about making the deepest possible playoff run.

In this way, the Rams virtually prevent their new receiver from playing only for the gallery and a possibly much more lucrative contract next year.

For the Rams, there can only be one goal this season: Super Bowl LVI in their own stadium. They have underlined this twice recently, because before Beckham Jr. they already landed Von Miller.
