Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will be gearing up for his 10th NFL season this year. After spending the 2023 season with the Baltimore Ravens, Beckham is a free agent, with the Ravens having no intention of re-signing him.

The top receivers from this year's free-agent wide receiver class have all signed new deals, with many players in new places. Beckham could very well end up on a new team this upcoming season. One possibility could be the New York Jets.

Jets' starting cornerback Sauce Gardner posted a picture of him, Odell Beckham and Drake on X and captioned the post, "The Other Big 3," (in reference to Drake being named a top-three current rapper with Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole).

The post made fans vocal on X about the idea of the team adding OBJ to its roster this season. Some like the role that Sauce is playing as a potential recruiter:

"Would make sense if they don't go WR early....not saying I want it, just saying it would add up," one fan wrote.
"LeSauce the GM in the streets with it!l Love to see this level of dedication to the recruiting," a fan said.
"LeSauce Still recruiting OBJ," one fan wrote.

While some fans like that Gardner is recruiting and hanging out with Drake, others in the comments weren't too thrilled about the team signing OBJ.

Last season, the Jets signed Allen Lazard to a three-year deal, and this offseason, they brought in wide receiver Mike Williams. The Jets could also draft a pass catcher at No. 10 overall.

Other fans voiced their concerns about Gardner hanging out with Drake, who is alleged to be a sports curse by some franchises' fans.

"Bro stay the hell away from Drake he gunna bet on us and screw it all up," said a fan.
"Bro bro, please stay away from drake, he a curse to all franchises," another fan urged.
"Man there go our season this ni**a sauce hanging with drake," one concerned fan wrote.

Rating Odell Beckham Jr.'s stint with the Ravens in 2023

Before the start of the 2023 season, Odell Beckham signed a one-year, $15 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens. He had a chance to earn up to $3 million in additional incentives and wound up making a total of $16 million with a $1 million bonus.

He received $250K for surpassing 30 receptions and $250K for scoring three touchdowns. He earned an extra $500,000 for having over 500 receiving yards.

Beckham missed three regular-season games, as he recorded 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns last season.

Making $16 million in one season while not scoring at least 10 touchdowns or having at least 1,000 yards or 10 touchdowns is a big disappointment. Yes, Beckham missed the entire season the year before as he was recovering from a torn ACL, but at that price, you need more production.

In his nine seasons in the NFL, Beckham has had 566 receptions for 7,932 yards and 59 touchdowns.

Coming off one of his most unproductive seasons and with him getting older, it's hard to imagine that a team would give Beckham a deal north of $10 million per season.

Who do you think will sign Odell Beckham in free agency?
