LET’S HEAR YOUR STORY
When Odell Beckham Jr. was no longer in the mood to be mysterious about his unhappiness with the Los Angeles Rams and their "lowest of lows" contract offer for 2022, a club source raised a question that has echoed louder than ever this month. Beckham was still months away from being able to play football due to a ruptured ACL last season, but the Rams were doing everything they could to keep him happy.
Then, on Oct. 12, Beckham tweeted that the Rams didn't give him "ANYTHING," and that while the free-agent wideout recognized his "value," the Rams' offer "isn't indicative of that."
The insider went on to say that they weren't trying to be dismissive, and that the Rams wanted to reunite with Beckham after he helped them win the Super Bowl in February. They did, however, voice a caveat that three Rams braintrust members conveyed when I visited training camp in August: Beckham would not be ready to play until late in the season. Both parties' circumstances might have altered by then.
That was completely correct in terms of the Rams. Everything seems to have gone wrong this season, pushing the team out of postseason contention and rendering a Beckham chase meaningless.
"What is his value, and who is providing it to him?" a Rams source inquired a few days after Beckham's post. "That's a market for everyone."
Different teams have different plans for Beckham. In truth, the Cowboys just demonstrated what Beckham would have been looking at in terms of deal arrangement with the franchise. Hilton received $600,000 for the last four games of the season and will receive $50,000 bonuses for each of those games in which he is on the team's active roster. Aside from that, he may earn up to $700,000 in postseason bonuses.
According to a club source, if a deal had been explored, the Cowboys were willing to pay Beckham more money. However, it would have been substantially encouraged and of a limited duration. Unfortunately for Dallas, Beckham isn't interested in that type of organization. It may be the market.
As of Tuesday night, significant compromise appears dead. And until something changes, that’s the best way to describe the status of Beckham's 2022 season.

Weinman had to outlast the other 10,043 entrants to take home the prize and get his hands on his share of live poker’s largest ever prize pool – a staggering $93,399,900. As well as taking home the prize money, 35-year-old Weinman also got his hands on the WSOP Main Event bracelet. The huge bracelet contains 500 grams of 10-karat yellow gold, as well as 2,352 various precious gemstones.
Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
