Odell Beckham Jr. took a big bet on himself when he signed with the Los Angeles Rams. The 29-year-old wide receiver inked a one-year deal that was worth up to $4.25 million.
However, only the $750,000 base salary and $500,000 signing bonus were guaranteed.
The remaining money in the contract is incentive-based.
Beckham Jr. has already earned quite a bit of money throughout the playoffs. After the Rams beat the 49ers in the NFC Championship on Sunday and reached the Super Bowl, he has an opportunity to collect his largest incentive bonus to date.
To trigger the incentives, Beckham Jr. has to play in at least one play. Through the first three rounds, he has reached that mark.
By playing in Los Angeles’ win against Arizona in the Wild Card round, OBJ earned $500,000. He earned an additional $750,000 when the Rams beat the Buccaneers in the Divisional Round.
With Sunday’s NFC title win over San Francisco, Beckham Jr. cashed another $750,000.

And now he has a chance for another big pay day.
If OBJ plays one snap in the Super Bowl and Los Angeles loses, he will earn $500,000. If OBJ plays one snap in the Super Bowl and Los Angeles wins, he will earn $1,000,000.
Now, earlier this season, Beckham Jr. converted his salary to be paid out in Bitcoin. As a result, the numbers get a little bit wonky.
Nevertheless, the initial contract details remain in tact and his big gamble on himself is going to be very lucrative— especially if the Rams win it all. He spoke about the decision to sign with L.A. on the field after Sunday’s game and was pretty pumped.
Good for OBJ. After everything the Browns put him through, he is balling out and cashing in.
