Odell Beckham Jr. Leaves Dolphins: Shocking Decision to Save Sliding Season?

Odell Beckham Jr. took his talents to Miami — and it didn’t work out.

Beckham and the Dolphins parted ways ahead of the team’s Week 15 road game against the Texans, Miami announced Friday morning.

The decision was mutual, according to NFL Network, with the former Giants star receiver looking for a better chance to contribute.

Should he clear waivers, he’ll be free to sign with any team next week.

“One thing about me no matter what … ima always land on my feet. God got me (believe that),” Beckham wrote on his Instagram Story.

Beckham did not score a touchdown with the Dolphins.

NFL Network noted that two of Beckham’s former teams, the Rams and Ravens, are in the playoff hunt. In theory, they would be the type of team looking to add veteran depth.

Beckham signed a one-year, $3 million deal that could be worth up to $8.25 million with the Dolphins this offseason, actually taking less money to join the AFC East squad than head elsewhere.

Being the No. 3 wide receiver — and at best No. 5 option in the offense — hasn’t provided many chances though.

Beckham has nine catches for 55 yards with zero touchdowns through nine games after missing the first four games due to an offseason procedure.

The former LSU star had four games with zero receptions and six games with no more than one catch, including Sunday’s win over the Jets in which he tallied one reception for one yard.

Fellow receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, tight end Jonnu Smith and running back De’Von Achane all had more-involved roles within Miami’s offensive scheme.

Hill posted a cryptic message on X shortly after the news broke.

“Take advantage of your opportunity,” he wrote.

Now, Beckham will see if can latch on with a contender or if a team will claim him for the roughly $200,000 remaining on his contract, per NFL Network.

Beckham Jr. would figure to be a depth piece for any team adding him with an added bonus if he can truly add to the offense over the upcoming weeks.

His Miami departure continues what has been a frustrating trend for Beckham since his last 1,000-yard season in 2020.

Beckham has failed to crack 600 yards in any season since while dealing with injuries.

He caught 35 passes for 565 yards and three scores last year with the Ravens after signing a one-year, $15 million deal.

The twist is that Beckham may have a better chance to reach the playoffs now that he’s left Miami since the Dolphins (6-7) will need some help.
