OBJ might take the hometown discount?!

[dieterbrock]

OBJ had one of the biggest endorsement deals in the NFL.. it's ending this year. He got it when he was with.... The Giants.

Davante Adams.. .Justin Jefferson... well.. not so much.

Part of the reason was just that Beckham was a unique player and personality.. but to think that he would have gotten the same deal in.. Cleveland? Not likely.

Odell wasn't still a star in Cleveland.. for many reasons.. including on the field. With the Rams? He's a star on the field again... in the nation's second largest market.. next to Hollywood. It's a much better fit than chasing dollars somewhere else.. AND... he's having fun.

The rest of the stuff is apples and oranges.. QBs are QBs.. the elite are always going to get the bigger deals.

So Baker Mayfield is a bigger star than OBJ? Come on now

Colorful QB who was a Heisman winner and number one overall pick?

Mayfield was famous before he went to Cleveland… he was already a hype machine.

QBs are different.

Report: Rams seem confident OBJ will return next season​

Odell Beckham, Jr has revitalized his career in Los Angeles
By JB Scott Feb 13, 2022,

Odell Beckham, Jr. found his way off the Cleveland Browns roster mid-season, and he chose to join a star-laden Los Angeles Rams roster and catch passes from quarterback Matthew Stafford. Beckham has not only revitalized his football career, but he has also reinvigorated a Rams team that was undergoing a mid-season slump at the time the receiver joined the team.

LA is reportedly “very optimistic” that OBJ will return for the 2022 season, per Chris Mortensen of ESPN who indicated “the Rams are certain (his Super Bowl LVI incentives) won’t be his last pay check” with the team:

OBJ and agreed to a one-year incentive-packed deal to finish the 2021 season in Los Angeles, which means he’s a free agent and can sign elsewhere during the offseason.

Beckham has talked multiple times leading up to the Super Bowl that he feels right in Los Angeles - even going as far to say it “feels like a home”. The star receiver confirmed that taking a hometown discount to remain with the Rams is on the table. It makes sense why OBJ would not want to risk moving to a new team where he might not fit into their offense, especially considering how he effectively lost some of the prime years of his career in Cleveland.

One thing is certain with the Rams: they are not going to remain still. The roster will likely face a great deal of change this off-season, even if a deal is reached to keep Beckham with the team.

Might be a huge discount now. He should be back to full strength by midseason at least. So definitely would be worth bringing him back for another playoff run.

Yeah, unfortunately for OBJ, I don't think he gets any big offers this offseason due to the injury. A near 30 year old WR with a 2 time torn ACL isn't ripe for big offers. Ultimately, I think he would have resigned here anyways, but now I feel like its going to be for considerably less. You could see how much he meant to our offense last night the moment he went down. Kupp, Woods, and OBJ in the playoffs next year is nasty.

I wouldn't be surprised that he receives another one season incentive laden deal like he signed with us mid-season, based on games/snaps played and play-off victories.
