The now 31-year-old receiver signed a one-year deal worth up to $18 million with Baltimore in April last year. Many labeled the move an overpay after Beckham had missed the entirety of the 2022 season with a torn ACL. Others pointed to the move as a necessary olive branch to quarterback Lamar Jackson, who had yet to sign a long-term deal at the time.
While Beckham did not wow with gaudy stats, he proved to be a leader and highly-regarded teammate for the Ravens.
Beckham finished his lone season in Baltimore with 35 receptions for 565 yards and three touchdowns.
The Ravens now move forward with a wide receiver corps consisting of Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, and Tylan Wallace, who can bolster the unit in the upcoming draft or with another cheap veteran.
