The three-time Pro Bowl receiver (20014-16)
will sign for $15 million guaranteed and could earn up to $3
million more in incentives, according to media reports. The base
salary is $1.165 million, according to NFL Network.
The Ravens have been looking to upgrade their receiving corps,
and Beckham's addition could improve the team's leverage in a
stalemate with star quarterback Lamar Jackson. In March,
Baltimore used the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson, which
allows him to negotiate with other teams.
Jackson has since said that he has requested a trade, while the
Ravens have indicated they want to keep him in Baltimore.
Beckham, 30, had been pursuing a $20 million annual contract in
his comeback from injury after tearing his left ACL during Los
Angeles' Super Bowl LVI win against the Cincinnati Bengals on
Feb. 13, 2022. Beckham sat out the 2022 season as a result.
Among the teams reportedly interested were the New York Jets.
He spent his first five NFL seasons with the Giants (2014-18),
recording 390 catches for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns.
He spent two-plus seasons with the Cleveland Browns and part of
another with the Rams.
Beckham has 531 catches for 7,367 yards and 56 touchdowns in 96
career games (91 starts). He exceeded 1,000 receiving yards in
five of his first six seasons.
