The Baltimore Ravens have a lot of questions to answer this offseason after a devastating loss in the AFC Championship game at home to the Kansas City Chiefs.
One of those questions is the future of wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who is heading into free agency after posting 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns in his first year as a Raven.
According to Jeremy Fowler, the Ravens “likely won’t re-sign” Beckham, and the receiver will be looking for his fifth team since 2018.

In the tweet, analyst Dov Kleiman linked a previous tweet of his where Beckham stated that he has no plans to retire.
Beckham has a solid year in a new offense coming off a torn ACL and posted a career-high 16.1 yards per catch.
At 31 years old, he showed he still has great hands and can get separation even though he might not be the superstar he once was.
Baltimore sits with about $16.4 million in cap space and has Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Nelson Agholor under contract in the wide receiver room next season.
If the Ravens look to replace Beckham with another veteran receiver on a reasonable contract, there are plenty of options on the open market.
Jauan Jennings, Tyler Boyd, Kendrick Bourne, and Van Jefferson are all players who could fill a similar role.
If Baltimore was to make things even more interesting, former Raven Marquise Brown is hitting free agency as well and a potential reunion would certainly add another explosive element to this offense.
Beckham will surely have suitors on the open market.
It’s great to hear he isn’t retiring, and we’ll see where the veteran heads next.
