The Odell Beckham Jr. era is over in Baltimore after the Ravens decided to release the veteran wide receiver with a Post June 1 designation.
Beckham confirmed the move with a goodbye on his Instagram account.
“Swea on everything I appreciate the Flock more than yall could EVER imagine. Did everything I could wit the opportunities I had. Wish I got to do it big for yall. Thank you for the Vibez! To the City of Baltimore I f— wit yall forever FRRRR. And most importantly to my brothers over there this sh-t a lifetime sentence, I love yall! BiggestTruzzz”
The revision will allow Baltimore to spread the dead money out over 2024 and 2025, as opposed to it all hitting in 2024.

Beckham had 64 targets during his lone season in Baltimore, logging 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns.
With the move now complete, we’re looking at potential landing spots for the talented pass catcher.
New York Jets
Beckham Jr. could flourish playing opposite Garrett Wilson while catching passes from Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets.
Kansas City Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes and company just inked Hollywood Brown to a deal, but could still look to add another reliable pass catcher for an offense looking for a third straight Super Bowl appearance.
Los Angeles Chargers
The Jim Harbaugh era has gotten off to a bang on offense with the Chargers releasing Mike Williams to save cap space and trading Keenan Allen to the Chicago Bears for a fourth-round pick.
Justin Herbert needs receiving help and Beckham could help mentor a top prospect if Los Angeles selects a pass catcher with the No. 5 pick in the NFL Draft.
New England Patriots
The Patriots will likely select a rookie quarterback with the No. 3 overall pick.
If the season started today, their best receivers are Kendrick Bourne, Jalen Reagor and DeMario Douglas.
Adding Beckham in New England could help take pressure off their rookie quarterback.
Buffalo Bills
Stefon Diggs is still around, but the Bills lost Gabe Davis to Jacksonville on a three-year deal.
Bonus team
Dallas lacks depth at several key positions outside of wide receiver, but Jerry Jones could look to make a splashy signing.
