Odell Beckham Jr. now joins Aaron Rodgers and Saquon Barkley as other athletes who have decided to convert their salaries into crypto.

While Odell is set to make just $1.25 Million, he can make up to $3 Million based on performance incentives put into his contract by the team.

So far, Odell Beckham Jr. has not been an integral part of the dynamic LA Rams offense. But as he becomes more acclimated with the team it’ll be interesting to see where he fits going forward.
