Miami Dolphins: Despite reports, free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. denies signing with the team for the 2024 season.
As the offseason progresses, the Miami Dolphins are still hunting for another wide receiver to complement studs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. On Friday, Hill announced on one of his social media accounts that free agent Odell Beckham Jr. was going to Miami, filling the team’s third wide receiver spot. However, Beckham promptly dispelled the reports on his Twitter (also known as X) profile, putting an end to the conjecture.
Beckham Jr. is not the first free-agent wide receiver connected to the Dolphins. According to many reports, the AFC East club remains the front-runner to sign former Cincinnati Bengals pass catcher Tyler Boyd. Miami also re-signed wide receiver Braxton Berrios this offseason. Berrios was a former All-Pro punt returner.

Odell Beckham Jr., the free-agent wide receiver, has not agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins. On Friday, the NFL world deemed it a done deal after Miami megastar Tyreek Hill made it official via his Snapchat account. Beckham Jr. wrote on his social media account hours later, “Lol, I’m confused today. Did I sign anywhere? “Everyone keeps hitting me.”
Beckham Jr. played for the Baltimore Ravens last season, catching 35 passes for 568 yards and three scores. It was his least productive NFL season since an injury-shortened 2020 campaign, in which he registered only 319 receiving yards in seven games. The 12th overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft, Beckham Jr. started his professional career with the New York Giants. He shined during his first season, winning AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, totaling 1,305 receiving yards and 12 scores. The LSU product made the All-Pro second-team the following two seasons, collecting 2,817 yards and 23 touchdowns during that span.
Beckham Jr. landed with the Cleveland Browns in 2019. However, after two and a half seasons of low production, the AFC North club cut ties with the wideout. After his release, he signed with the Los Angeles Rams, winning the Super Bowl that same season. Beckham Jr. suffered a torn ACL in the win, missing the entirety of the 2022 season.
