NFC Exec: There's 'Considerable Doubt' About Odell Beckham's Health amid Injury Rehab

There is doubt about Beckham's health as he prepares to return to the football field.

It's already December and Beckham hasn't taken a snap since he tore his knee in the Super Bowl, so there's some concern about whether he'll be a factor this season.

Beckham tore the same knee in the same season twice. It would be a surprise if Beckham were close to the player he was before the injury.

Beckham will only be able to play five regular-season games before the playoffs start. It is highly unlikely that he will sign early next week and be on the field later. Beckham may not play more than one or two regular season games, which complicates contract talks with teams.

According to Vacchiano's report, Beckham has been asking for 20 million dollars a year. It isn't happening. Beckham would probably be lucky to get half of that figure if he signed a deal like that.

Beckham hasn't played in a Pro Bowl since the 2016 season and has just two 1,000-yard seasons in the last five years. There were legitimate questions about whether Beckham was the same type of player who burst on to the scene with Hall of Fame caliber numbers.

Since Beckham was cleared for a return, there has been a lot of interest, but teams are going to be cautious in negotiations. A one-year deal doesn't do much for teams given the uncertainty of Beckham's health, so expect a two-year deal under team friendly terms that will allow the 30-year-old to truly show out in 2023.
