The Green Bay Packers are poised to make waves with the signing of former All-Pro wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who has agreed in principle to a one-year, $3 million contract following a six-game PED suspension. Per NFL insider Tom Pelissero, the deal awaits final league reinstatement, with an announcement expected by week’s end, marking Beckham’s debut with the Packers.
At 32, Beckham brings a wealth of experience to a young receiving corps. After limited production with the Ravens and Dolphins in 2024 (9 receptions, 55 yards), he expressed excitement about his new chapter. “I once had it all – the lights, the cheers, the love from the fans. But I’ve realized that in the end, it’s not fame that endures — it’s legacy, it’s the ultimate championship every NFL player dreams of. Green Bay gives me the feeling that I can reach it,” Beckham shared.
For the Packers, Beckham’s addition is a strategic boost. His three Pro Bowl nods and Super Bowl LVI win offer leadership to Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs (13 catches, 179 yards, 4 TDs), and Christian Watson, who are navigating injuries and growth. His veteran presence could elevate Green Bay’s offense.
Beckham’s journey includes stints with the Giants, Browns, Rams, Ravens, and Dolphins, but his recent struggles post-ACL injury (2022) and PED violation (2025) left him seeking redemption. Green Bay’s historic franchise offers a fresh canvas for his legacy.
This move signals a turning point, blending Beckham’s past glory with Packers’ future aspirations. As the 2-1-1 team gears up for Week 6 against the Bengals, his return could reshape their receiving corps.
