The NFL free agency period has been going on for a few weeks.
Some of the top free agents have already been signed to big contracts.
But there is one player who many fans have been waiting to see where he signs.
That is star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
Beckham Jr. held a workout in Arizona a few weeks ago to show teams he is healthy and ready to play.
Yet, many teams have been hesitant to sign the former All-Pro.
He has not played since the 21-22 Super Bowl.
In that game, he caught a touchdown for the Rams and still showed plenty of explosiveness.
At this point, it seems like teams are more concerned with how much they need to pay Beckham.
According to Jets reporter Rich Cimini, Beckham is reportedly looking for $15 million per year.

That may be rich for most teams as Beckham has not played in over a year.
Many fans feel that Beckham has a small chance to get that much money.
Good luck getting someone to pay him that much

Not gonna happen. Maybe up to 15mil depending on his play… But as a base salary is crazy.

He should be asking around 8, he’ll probably end up playing for 11.

It might be best for Beckham to get an incentive-based contract so he has to stay healthy to get the most money.
But if it is only a one-year deal Beckham is looking for, maybe a team will bite.
He can be an asset for a wide receiver-needy team, and he brings some star power with him.
It’ll be down to $7 mill by September

Beckham Jr. will sell jerseys and as he is one of the most well-known NFL players.
One spot that would be a good fit for Beckham Jr is in New York.
He made a name for himself with the Giants, but it seems like the Jets are interested in his services.
Obj plzzz come to jets

It will certainly be interesting to see where Beckham Jr. ends up and for how much.
