Odell Beckham Jr. has agreed to a five-year extension with the New York Giants that makes him the highest-paid wide receiver in football.
The three-time Pro Bowler can receive a maximum $95 million over the course of the deal, with $65 million in guaranteed money, a source told ESPN’s Josina Anderson.
The deal eclipses Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown‘s $17 million per year average and tops Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Mike Evans‘ $55 million in total guarantees.
