New contract makes Odell Beckham, Jr. highest paid NFL wide receiver
Odell Beckham Jr. has agreed to a five-year extension with the New York Giants. The deal makes the former LSU and Isidore Newman star receiver the highest paid player in the NFL at his position.
The #Giants and WR Odell Beckham Jr have agreed to terms on a 5-year extension worth a whopping $95M, source said. He gets the highest guarantee ever for a WR at $65M and averages $20M over the first 3 years. Nice job by the #NYG and agent Zeke Sandhu getting this done. Win/win💰
