"Oh, TMZ Sports, you want me to tell you where I'm gonna go?"

He then kept walking with the rest of his group as they entered the arena. He then sat courtside by the Clippers bench. The 30-year-old missed the entire 2022 NFL season after tearing his ACL for the second time during Super Bowl LVI as he won his first Lombardi Trophy. He is now looking for the ideal situation and team for him to sign and get back on the field for the first time in over a year.

How much money does WR Odell Beckham Jr. want per year?

Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is rumored to have interest in a number of NFL teams this offseason. Whether it's the Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys or New York Giants, there appear to be plenty of options. But what type of contract is the wide receiver looking for from his new prospective team?

The wide receiver is apparently looking for a one-year deal worth $15 million. That is $5 million less than what he initially sought, but if he only gets a one-year deal, he is willing to decrease the asking price.

Earlier in his free agency, the wide receiver said that he was being offered about $4 million per year, which is significantly lower than he had expected. But with two ACL injuries in the past few seasons and one full season away from the game as well as his age, NFL teams aren't ready to take a big gamble to sign him.

While Beckham is apparently interested in the New York Jets, he isn't willing to commit and sign with the team until the trade for quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been finalized.
