EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A day after signing a contract that made him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history, Odell Beckham Jr. was happy to have the deal out of the way and wants to concentrate on football.
Beckham waited patiently for a new deal. He was confident it was going to happen even while most of the wide receivers from his draft class were paid before him. Still, to get it done before the start of this season -- with almost two weeks to spare -- was a relief.
"Now that it's behind me and there are no worries it feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders," Beckham said.
