Report: Beckham wants $20M per year in next contract
New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has made it known to people around him he's seeking at least $20 million per season on his next contract, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports.
Such a salary would make Beckham the top earner among receivers in the league, surpassing the $17 million Pittsburgh Steelers star Antonio Brown is set to take home in 2018.

Beckham is entering the fifth and final year of his rookie contract, but the Giants could use the franchise tag on him in the absence of a long-term contract before he hits free agency.
The 25-year-old went over 1,300 yards receiving with double-digit touchdowns in each of his first three campaigns before a fractured ankle ended his fourth season after just four contests.
