The Baltimore Ravens rocked the NFL world on Easter Sunday after signing Odell Beckham Jr. to a one-year deal worth up to $18 million ($15 million guaranteed).
Many have pondered what this might mean for Lamar Jackson. Some believe Beckham joining the team is a sign Jackson is here to stay.
Meanwhile, others think the Ravens signing Beckham has no effect on Lamar Jackson’s situation.
That is until the superstar quarterback posted a picture with Odell Beckham Jr. after the signing. Jackson sent this to Instagram on Sunday night.
I don’t know about you, but it sure seems Jackson is excited about Beckham being on the Ravens. For that reason, fans couldn’t help but react to the posting.

Some Minnesota Vikings fans are not happy.

Lamar Jackson still hasn’t signed anything, but at least Ravens fans are happy.
Ravens fan right now

A ton of NFL fans have this same opinion. But is this why Beckham chose Baltimore? Or was it for the guaranteed $15 million?
I said earlier something is going on in Baltimore. No way OBJ signs with a no QB team this late in his career. He’s a lot of things but he’s thoughtful about where he signs.

Star power goes a long way.
signing a 31 yr old WR after a year off with 2 acl tears who last averaged 38 receiving yds/game in a pass happy offense…who’s often a locker room distraction…to a $15M contract. That should go well 🤡

Is this all just a smokescreen from Lamar Jackson?
That means they are not signing him. He has no idea

The Ravens offense could be a real threat if Jackson ends up returning.
Does no one who comments on this know that Bateman was 2nd in receiving before he got hurt and now we have obj and Andrews and the second best line in the nfl and have dobbins back

With that said, it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out. Lamar Jackson rumors continue to be at an all-time high with the NFL Draft around the corner.
Regardless, acquiring Odell Beckham Jr. is a bold move for a franchise. Especially with so much uncertainty revolving around the quarterback position.
Keep on the lookout for any updates regarding Jackson, as his future is still up in the air.
