Odell Beckham Jr. may not be the dynmaic player he once was, but he still has something to offer teams as a veteran receiver with years of experience.
After a less-than-eventful stint with the Miami Dolphins this season, the wide receiver and the team agreed to part ways on Friday, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.
Beckham is now a free agent again, and two teams reportedly have an interest in signing him. He's familiar with both franchises after playing for each of them, adding an element of comfort.
The Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Rams could choose to bring Beckham back in to the fold for the latter part of the season. The former LSU Tiger spent the 2023 season with the Ravens, catching 35 passes for 565 yards and three touchdowns.
Beckham joined the Rams during the 2021 season, when he was traded following the deterioration of his relationship with then-Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield.
Beckham was an instant contributor for the Rams, teaming with former Offensive Player of the Year Cooper Kupp to form a formidable receiving duo for Matthew Stafford.
The Rams went on to win the Super Bowl that season, but Beckham tore his ACL in the game following a first-half performance that made him the front-runner for MVP.
The ACL injury would force Beckham to miss the entire 2022 season as he worked to get back to full health.
Beckham has five 1,000 yard seasons in his career, but he hasn't reached that mark since 2019, his first season with the Cleveland Browns. Injuries have affected Beckham's career to this point, but he's still able to contribute in a meaningful way when healthy.
After releasing Beckham, the Miami Dolphins will focus on retooling their own offense as they try to make their way back to the AFC playoffs. Some believe that Mike McDaniel's job security is in question after a disappointing season, and missing the playoffs could be the final straw for ownership.
We'll see what happens in Miami, and we'll also see if one of Beckham's former teams chooses to bring him back after his decision to part ways with the Dolphins on Friday.
