Is Odell Beckham Jr. Worth All That Money?

Odell Beckham Jr recently signed a 95 million dollar contract over 6 years with 65 million dollars guaranteed which has made him the highest paid Wide Receiver in the NFL. With all respect to Odell, the best receiver in the NFL currently is Antonio Brown so does it make sense that the Giants paid more to Odell than the Steelers are paying to Brown?

Lots of analysts such as Stephen A. Smith say that there's no way in hell that Odell should be paid more than Brown, but I disagree. Odell deserves every penny from this contract and he also deserves to be paid more than Brown. Odell may not be the best receiver in the NFL currently, but he is undisputedly top five, and in my eyes, he is the 2nd best receiver in the league. Other factors also contribute to why Odell deserves what he is being paid. Odell Beckham is only 25 years old, the second youngest top five receiver after Michael Thomas, meaning he is just about to enter his prime which is scary considering how good he is already. Having him under contract for 6 years is well done by the Giants as they have Odell throughout his whole prime and they will be able to make deep playoff runs for the next 6 years with Odell and Saquon Barkley as the centerpieces of the Giant's offense.

Even though Odell may not be the best receiver in the NFL currently, he will be very soon. The decision by the New York Giants organization to lock up Odell for the next 6 years when he is in his prime was a smart move. With Odell's production only bound to get better this contract while expensive will help the Giants to be on the Super Bowl hunt for years to come

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
