Odell Beckham Jr. has found a new home. Baltimore Ravens fans were gifted a little extra Easter Sunday surprise when NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Ravens have agreed to terms with OBJ on a one-year deal.

Odell Beckham Jr. Contract Shifts Ravens Super Bowl Odds
Per DraftKings Sportsbook, the Ravens Super Bowl odds went up to +3500 after the news that Beckham Jr. was entering the fold. But they have still fallen off a bit even since quarterback Lamar Jackson demanded a trade earlier in the offseason.
The Ravens have not yet indicated if they will grant the former MVP his wish, but head coach John Harbaugh claimed he is still optimistic they can reach an agreement with the quarterback to continue his career in Baltimore for at least one more season.
“Our plans are for Lamar,” Harbaugh said at the NFL Combine, per SI. “One of the things we did – and I think some of it was written about – when we went through a process with the offensive coordinator position. We interviewed 14 candidates; we had 21 different interviews. They were extensive interviews on Zoom and in-person, and of course, that comes up, because we’re talking about how we’re going to build an offense, and all those interviews were based on Lamar being the quarterback.”
Jackson has still maintained that he would like to be dealt to a team better suited to fulfill his monetary demands, with a conclusion seemingly far away at this point.
Based on the latest Ravens Super Bowl odds, the team is still a long shot to compete for a ring next season. But perhaps that will change if the Odell Beckham Jr. signing is enough to convince Jackson to stay with the team for next season.
