Show me the Bitcoin? Former New York Giants star converts latest contract to crypto

[ad_1]

Odell Beckham Jr. is no stranger to making big plays on the grill – and now he’s making one in the cryptocurrency market.

The former New York Giants star was released by the Cleveland Browns earlier this month, but has since signed a contract with the Los Angeles Rams for a base salary of $ 750,000 – the contract could reach more of $ 4 million, including incentives.

Beckham Jr. took to Twitter to announce that he will receive his new salary in Bitcoin as part of his partnership with Cash App. Beckham will also be offering fans $ 1 million in Bitcoin as part of the promotion.

It’s a NEW ERA and to kickstart this I can’t wait to announce that I’m taking my new paycheck in bitcoin, Beckham Jr. wrote on Twitter.

The Pro Bowl receiver isn’t the only NFLer to convert his contract – fellow stars Russell Okung, Trevor Lawrence and Aaron Rodgers are taking the same route, among others.

Currently, a Bitcoin is worth over $ 57,000. If Beckham Jr. is lucky, Rams’ investment in him may well pay off as well as his investment in crypto.
