Drafted 12th overall by the New York Giants in 2014, Beckham made an immediate impact, recording over 75 receptions, 1,100+ yards, and 10 touchdowns as a rookie. His gravity-defying one-handed touchdown catch against the Dallas Cowboys quickly became one of the most iconic plays in NFL history and helped launch him into superstardom.

Between 2014 and 2018, Beckham was named to three Pro Bowls and established himself as one of the league's most electrifying wideouts. He became the fastest player in NFL history to reach both 200 career receptions and 4,000 receiving yards. In 2019, he was traded to the Cleveland Browns, where he topped 1,000 receiving yards in his first season but struggled with injuries and inconsistent play over the following two years.

In 2021, Beckham joined the Los Angeles Rams mid-season and played a key role in their playoff run, scoring a touchdown in Super Bowl LVI before leaving the game with a torn ACL. He signed with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023 and later joined the Miami Dolphins in 2024. Beckham played nine games for Miami before parting ways with the team in December. Across his career, he has recorded 575 receptions, nearly 8,000 yards, and 59 touchdowns, maintaining a reputation as a dynamic and marketable talent both on and off the field.

Contracts, Salary & Career Earnings

Over more than a decade in the NFL, Odell Beckham Jr. has earned nearly $100 million in contract salary alone. After being selected 12th overall by the New York Giants in 2014, he signed a landmark five-year, $95 million extension in 2018, making him the highest-paid wide receiver in the league at the time. This deal came with $65 million in guaranteed money, the highest guarantee in NFL history up to that point. His career earnings reflect a combination of base salary, signing bonuses, and performance incentives.

In 2021, Beckham signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams worth $4.25 million. In 2023, he joined the Baltimore Ravens on a one-year contract that included a $13.8 million signing bonus and $15 million guaranteed, with potential earnings up to $18 million through incentives. In 2024, Beckham signed a one-year, $3 million fully guaranteed deal with the Miami Dolphins, including a $1.8 million signing bonus and additional performance bonuses worth up to $5.25 million.

Bitcoin Salary Conversion

After the Browns released him in 2021, Odell signed a one-year, $750,000 contract with the LA Rams. Odell decided to convert his salary into Bitcoin. At the time he made the conversion, Bitcoin was trading at around $64,000, so he bought roughly 11.7 Bitcoin. By the end of 2022, Bitcoin had sunk down to $17,000. With taxes and other fees, Odell actually lost around $140,000 playing in the NFL that year. However. According to Odell himself, he has not yet sold his Bitcoin. On July 14, 2025, Bitcoin hit $120,000. At that level, his 11.66 Bitcoin were worth $1.4 million. After subtracting taxes and other fees, his net earnings would be around $1 million

Nike Contract & Lawsuit

In May 2017, Odell signed what was believed to be the largest shoe contract in NFL history up to that point, a five-year $29 million deal. Nike matched an offer that had been made by Adidas to sign Odell. With various incentives, the deal could grow to be worth $40 – $50 million. In the first season of the deal, he made significantly more from his Nike deal ($5 million) than from his Giants contract ($1.8 million). Unfortunately, Beckham's Nike relationship ultimately ended on bad terms. In 2022, Odell sued Nike for $20 million, alleging that the company did not pay some of his contractually obligated royalties. Nike countersued alleging that he customized and altered his footwear in ways that voided their contract. Nike alleged that he played several games with non-Nike products, in violation of their deal. In July 2024, a jury determined that both Nike and Odell had valid claims and, therefore, essentially called it a draw with no money changing hands.

Endorsements

Odell has endorsement deals with Nike, Steiner Sports, Head & Shoulders, Dunkin Donuts, EA Sports, Foot Locker, ROAR sports drink, and Lenovo.

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Odell Beckham Jr. was born on November 5, 1992, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He has a younger sister named Jasmine and a younger brother named Kordell. His father, Odell Sr., was a star running back at Marshall High School and played at LSU from 1989 to 1992. Beckham's mother, Heather, also attended LSU; a track runner, she ran for three national championship relay teams and later became the coach of the Nicholls State University track and field team.

As a freshman at LSU, he started nine of 14 games and led the Tigers to the BCS National Championship Game. He finished the season second on the team with 41 receptions for 475 yards and was named a freshman All-SEC selection. The next year, Beckham started 12 of 13 games and helped LSU finish with a 10-2 record. He had an even more impressive junior year; in addition to being named a first- and second-team All-SEC selection, Odell won the Paul Hornung Award, which goes to the most versatile player in college football. He finished the season with 57 receptions for 1,117 yards and eight touchdowns. Beckham then forwent his senior season to enter the NFL Draft.

New York Giants

In the 2014 NFL Draft, Beckham was selected with the 12th overall pick by the New York Giants. During a November game in his debut season, Beckham had one of the most memorable moments in NFL history when he scored a one-handed touchdown reception against the Dallas Cowboys. He finished the month with 38 receptions, 593 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. Odell also broke a number of rookie records during his debut season, including the most consecutive games with 90 or more receiving yards. By December, he became the first NFL rookie to record at least 12 catches, 140 yards, and three scores in a single game. In the regular season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles, Beckham notched a career-high 185 receiving yards, the most made by a rookie in a game in franchise history. He finished his rookie year with 91 receptions, 1,305 yards, and 12 touchdowns in only 12 games.

Beckham's 2015 season was marked by controversy, including multiple confrontations with cornerback Josh Norman. During a matchup with the Carolina Panthers, he was flagged for three personal foul penalties. In December, the NFL Disciplinary Committee suspended him for one game without pay for multiple violations of safety protocol. Despite these impediments, Odell finished the season with career highs of 1,450 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. More trouble came the next year when Beckham was fined for a dance celebration during a game against the Cowboys and fined again for a blindside hit on safety Kenny Vaccaro during a game against the Saints. He bounced back for Week 3 and became the fastest player to reach 200 receptions, doing so in just 30 games. Odell had a truncated 2017 season due to a fractured left ankle. He returned for his final season with the Giants in 2018, finishing with 77 receptions, 1,052 yards, and six touchdowns.

He had better results in Week 2, finishing with 161 receiving yards and a touchdown in a victory over the New York Jets. However, Odell quickly returned to his belligerent ways on the field when he threw a punch at Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey in Week 4; both men were consequently fined. Two weeks later, he incurred another fine for violating NFL uniform rules. During a Week 17 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Beckham surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the season.

Although things were looking up in 2020, Odell had to leave the Week 7 game against the Bengals due to a knee injury. The next day, it was revealed that he had suffered from a torn ACL, placing him on injured reserve for the remainder of the season. Beckham finished his shortened season with 23 catches for 319 yards and three receiving touchdowns.
