Free Agent Odell Beckham Jr. Will Visit Miami Dolphins This Off-Season

Free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will reportedly visit the Miami Dolphins before the 2024 season. If Beckham signs with Mike McDaniel’s squad, it would be his fifth team since he joined the league in 2014.

After winning a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams at the end of the 2021 season, Beckham did not sign with anyone in the 2022 season while he dealt with an ACL injury he sustained in the championship game.

“One quote I’d always lived by was ‘‘you’re only as good as your last game,’” Beckham said before last season. “It could be up for debate, but I think I was well on the way to being MVP in that game and it’s just the type of mentality I have.”

The receiver was not done playing and signed with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023. Though he said that the team was the best one he had ever played for entering the playoffs, Baltimore lost in the AFC Championship game to the Kansas City Chiefs.

It is unclear how much playing time Beckham would receive if he signed with Miami, as the team already enjoys a luxury of options at the wide receiver position. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle have spent the past few seasons cultivating the fastest offense in football, which would likely relegate Beckham to a veteran locker-room presence.

During his season in Baltimore, an organization more in need of veteran receivers, Beckham only caught 35 passes for 565 yards and three touchdowns in the regular season. His contributions in the playoffs were also diminutive, though the 31-year-old receiver was never expected to contribute as he did as an All-Pro talent for the Giants in the 2010s.

Between his successful career in New York and his latest stints in Los Angeles and Baltimore, Beckham spent the better part of three seasons with the Cleveland Browns from 2019 to 2021. Beckham struggled with injuries during his tenure there and the team did very little of note.
