Odell Beckham Jr. Sues Nike, Says Company Owes Him $20M in Endorsement Contract

Free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. filed suit against Nike over the last endorsement contract he signed with the company, according to TMZ Sports.

Nick DePaula of Nice Kicks reported in May 2017 that Beckham re-signed with Nike after exercising a clause that allowed it to match Adidas' offer. The five-year pact was worth at least $29 million.

However, Beckham is contending in his suit the way the contract "was structured made it nearly impossible for him to trigger very valuable extensions of the deal," per TMZ Sports. He's alleging he lost out on more than $20 million.
