Odell Beckham Jr. Forgoes $1.25M Incentives to Rest for Playoffs

Despite being close to meeting contract incentives, the Ravens' wide receiver chooses to prepare for the postseason, prioritizing team success over personal gain.

Odell Beckham Jr., wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens, will not be playing in the Week 18 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, despite the opportunity to earn up to $1.25 million in contract incentives.
Beckham was five catches, two touchdowns, and 185 yards away from earning these additional bonuses.
Beckham's decision to sit out the game is seen as a strategic move to rest and prepare for the postseason, as the Ravens have already secured the top seed in the AFC.
Beckham has had a solid season with the Ravens, with 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns.
Despite missing out on the incentives, Beckham's performance in the upcoming playoffs will be a crucial factor in the Ravens' success.
