Extension Coming? Odell Beckham And Lamar Jackson Spotted Together Celebrating Beckham's Deal With The Ravens
Well this is certainly a turn of events, wouldn't ya say? For weeks as Odell Beckham to Baltimore rumors were afoot, I chose to ignore them simply because there was just no way OBJ was going to choose the Ravens with their QB situation in flux. Given that the competition was Rodgers in NY and that the Ravens were theoretically tied down with salary cap constraints... I just didn't see a path forward for Beckham to come here. Or at least not until a Lamar Jackson reconciliation had occurred. One had to come before the other.
I suppose I was wrong on the order of operations there... but everything that's unfolded over the past 16 hours would seem to suggest that Lamar will be a Raven for at least one more year? These two were FaceTiming within minutes of the signing going public, as indicated by Lamar's IG himself.
And now they're out in the club together? I suppose it could mean nothing, just two fellas out on the town having a giggle. But it certainly doesn't feel that way. Maybe part of Lamar's discontent really was a lack of help at the receiver position? And now that he's got a guy, things are closer to being hunky dory again? I dunno. Admittedly Lamar does not look terribly enthused to be there, but I'm feeling like there might be hope for the first time in months. Feeling very vulnerable rn.
Who would have thought Odell fucking Beckham might be the glue that puts this thing back together. Truly WATTBA. We'll see...
