That year, Beckham had 74 catches on 130 targets for 1,035 yards and four touchdowns. But the last of those 1,000-yard seasons came in 2019 - when Baltimore’s new offensive coordinator Todd Monken held the same role with the Cleveland Browns.

There also was the uncertainty surrounding the Ravens’ disgruntled quarterback Lamar Jackson, who last month told the organization that he wants to be traded, with Baltimore responding five days later by placing the nonexclusive franchise tag on him. Plus, Beckham was reportedly scheduled to meet with the New York Jets beginning Sunday night about the possibility of teaming up with Aaron Rodgers.
