The Baltimore Ravens signed wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to a one-year deal worth up to $18 million a few weeks ago, signaling their commitment to adding veteran talent at the position. They have also been linked to Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, even after the signing of Beckham.
On “The Crew“, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports talked about what she’d been hearing about the influence of Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson in the pursuit of both Beckham and Hopkins. Anderson said there was no ultimatum given by Jackson to the team, but that he had expressed a desire for the Ravens to reach out to both players.

"I do know from my understanding that Lamar did express a desire for the team to reach out to OBJ and D-Hop, though there was no ultimatums or anything like that"
