The New York Giants currently have one of the best bargain deals in all of NFL, with superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. scheduled to make a base salary of $1,839,027 in 2017. But if Beckham's dreams come true, the Giants will be paying him a whole lot more money than that in the near future.
In yet another excellently executed Uninterrupted piece, Beckham Jr. discusses his offseason regimen, his expectations going into next year and how he wants to not only be the highest paid receiver in the league, he wants to be the highest paid player.
In 2017 Dez Bryant will be the highest paid wide receiver in the league, with a $17 million salary, while Joe Flacco will be the highest earner overall with a salary of $24.5 million. Both numbers are quite a leap from his base salary, and while OBJ is definitely deserving of a new deal, he may not be worth the highest annual salary in the league.
Michael Smith and Jemele Hill discussed OBJ's financial aspirations on SC6, and while they agree that he is arguably the best wide receiver in football, they don't believe he's getting quarterback money.
