Overview
- An October Pivot podcast clip resurfaced this week showing Beckham explaining that a five-year, $100 million NFL deal can net roughly $60 million, or about $12 million per year before expenses.
- Shannon Sharpe challenged the premise on Nightcap, saying $60 million should last a lifetime and questioning choices like multiple homes and luxury cars; former safety Su’a Cravens also criticized the framing on X.
- Beckham responded on X that his remarks were taken out of context, writing that people twisted his point about the difference between gross contracts and real take-home money.
- Coverage recapped Beckham’s career earnings at more than $101 million in contract money, including a five-year Giants deal reported at about $90 million, with additional shorter deals in Los Angeles, Baltimore and Miami.
- Separate reports note Beckham was reinstated by the NFL after a six-game PED suspension and says he is training, feels healthy, and is seeking an opportunity to play again.
