DECEMBER 16: Beckham has indeed cleared waivers, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport tweets. Although it only would have taken a roughly $200K payment to carry Beckham for the rest of the season, the NFL’s other 31 teams passed. For a second time, Beckham is now a free agent in-season.
DECEMBER 15: Pelissero reports Beckham has a shortlist of teams he is interested in joining for the closing weeks of the season (video link). That would of course become a moot point if he were to be claimed off waivers tomorrow. If Beckham clears and reaches free agency, though, he could look to join one of the teams he is targeting an agreement with.
DECEMBER 13: Odell Beckham Jr. entered 2024 with the expectation of serving as a complementary option in the Dolphins’ offense, but his role has still be smaller than anticipated. The veteran wideout will now see his Miami tenure come to an end. 
Beckham asked to be let go, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The Dolphins will grant the request, he adds, meaning a move to the waiver wire will be forthcoming. Beckham is seeking an increased role on his next team, while playoff contenders may show interest in him as an insurance option for the stretch run. The Dolphins have now officially placed Beckham on waivers, where he will remain until Monday.
That will give teams plenty of time to contemplate putting in a claim; failing that, Beckham will become a free agent. The 32-year-old has made nine appearances since being activated from the PUP list in October. Over that span, however, he has registered only nine catches for 55 scoreless yards while handling a 20% snap share. Those figures could lead to several teams steering clear with respect to a waiver claim, although as Pelissero’s colleague Mike Garafolo notes, Beckham is only owed roughly $200K for the rest of the campaign and is not on track to hit any incentive thresholds.
The three-time Pro Bowler had a lengthy free agency spell this past offseason as he recovered from a knee operation. He took on a one-year Dolphins deal with a base value of $3MM in anticipation of handling WR3 duties on his latest team. With that not being the case, team and player will move on as Miami seeks to remain in contention for a wild-card berth. The Dolphins’ offense has generally been less reliant on Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in 2024 than in years past, although over the past two games that pairing has served as the focal point of the offense.
Beckham had a one-and-done stint with the Ravens last season, one in which he posted a career-high 16.1 yards per catch. It came as no surprise that he was unable to secure anywhere near the $15MM he received in 2023 on his most recent pact, but this campaign can nevertheless be considered a disappointment. A small window of opportunity will exist for Beckham to rebuild his value to an extent if he manages to catch on with a team for the closing stages of the season, though.
The former Rams Super Bowl winner said ahead of the 2023 campaign he was giving thought to retirement. He has managed one more contract since then, but his status following the current season (regardless of if it includes an opportunity with another team) will be worth watching with respect to his career outlook.
So overrated. Dude been washed for a while
Think he’s going to spend some “quality time” with The Biebs?
Maybe he’ll sign with Tampa Bay so he can ride or die on another boat trip with his old friend Sterling Shepard.
I know you are joking but may have forgot Baker is the qb. Zero chance Tampa is an option.
Lmao
Beckham is not washed, but he’s very fragile at this point. Whatever his salary is, the team will pay most of it in injured reserve. Probably doesn’t want to take the hits over the middle.
Easily one of the most overrated NFL players in recent history.
He was very good but the Acl injuries took a ton from him. He never changed with the injury and media is the reason why he is overrated. I doubt any fans have viewed him as a top guy in like 6 years. Media still stroking from that 1 catch.
Has not been relevant for a couple of years, he keeps saying he wants and wants but has not produced enough in the past few years to keep saying I want this and want that for me to sign. Miami signed him in good faith, not having the year they wanted, so be it, now this WR wants out, show’s he’s not in it for the good of the team but is just an individual not a team player. I really hope no other team signs him, let him find a new line of work. His best days of a WR are over, been bounce from team to team, just a hanger on WR telling teams what he wants, well the time is now they are going to tell him we don’t want you.
The story behind the story is that he is done and pouts about it… the Dolphins still have a chance for the playoffs and if he had anything left he would still be there. For 200k I could see a team take a flyer on him but is the drama he brings worth it?
The Dolphins’ chances of making the playoffs are minuscule, but they can at least bank $200k for next year. This offseason should be interesting, given the many high-dollar contracts and their poor playoff record. I expect one or more big names to get axed…
I agree the chances of the Dolphins are slim and if they thought he would help them get there then he would be on the field so saving the 200K makes sense.
He is just way too much drama to add for any team making a late season push although I could see the Chiefs adding him… Andy Reid could get him going quickly if he is healthy and another target for Mahomes besides DHop.
OBJ made ONE catch that everybody thinks was the greatest in the history of the game and made a career off it…kind of like Jadaveon Clowney making one big hit in college and he was the greatest player in history. Both overrated and their time is over
Kamsas City will activate Hollywood Brown off injured reserve before signing Beckham.
As to that “ONE catch”? It was in a game the New York Giants LOST. To the Dallas Cowboys.
Is the drama he brings worth it? Short answer, NO!
Limited options. Ravens may give him a tryout because he was just there and Diontae can be cut.
Ravens still got egg on there face for giving him 1yr, $15Million deal not that long ago. He is shadow of his former self.
Beckham was great once and managed to be a pretty good role player at times between injuries, but between the injuries and being one of the oldest receivers in football, I’m not sure he has much of anything left.
Still not as bad as Miami’s Cedrick Wilson signing.
Another wide receiver whose ego vastly outshines his talent…
Lots of free time to go hang out on a party boat with a bunch of other half-naked dudes.
Top landing spots: Lions Commanders Eagles Buccaneers Steelers or Bills
Longshots? 49ers Broncos Chargers or Colts
No thank you
-Eagles fans
No thank you
– Every Fan
Haha
Hey Eagles – off topic but any read on what happened with Jahan Dotson?
He was one of my favorites when he was drafted.
The trade to Philly seemed really smart to be but he barely makes a dent. I thought playing slot on that team would be really scary.
Any read on him? Is this just a case of not enough footballs? That seems too simple.
A couple of things. The Eagles’ offense is focused on Barkley, so there aren’t as many targets to go around. Hurts trusts AJ, Devonta and Dallas Goeddert so there isn’t much left for Dotson.
Jerry Jones lost out in the last OBJ sweepstakes but he’ll claim his prize now 🙂
Lmao “ALL IN!!”
Uh yeah he doesn’t exactly scream “Dan Campbell type of guy” to me. The Lions are about GRIT, like WRs blocking down field, not EGO & personal stats. Besides…the best version of 2024 Odell is someone the Lions already have on their roster: Tim Patrick.
Fair enough. I can envision Odell’s agent going crazy on the phone lines. I think he will be signed but it’s hard to picture who wants him right now and why lol
I could see the Steelers taking a flier.
For depth!
The amount of money Odell has received the last two years is hilarious. Great job by his agency to secure him some walking money without doing a thing for years
$19 M is a steal lmao
He’s just hoping a contender will sign him to do nothing for the playoff push.
He just wants paid one more time.
He hasn’t been elite in nearly a decade and has been living off his name.
I know many Bills fans wanted this guy – but remember when he said he didn’t see the point of playing in the regular season?
Now he doesn’t want to help push Miami.
He is a paycheck player with little to offer. Hard pass (still)
Not just a paycheck player but attention needy. Odell would like to get signed one more time to feel that initial love from the media and fans like he’ll be a real contributing factor when in reality he won’t even see the field
Hmmm, if the Birds think their locker room can handle him, might be a good pickup.
absolutely not
Which Birds? Ravens, Eagles, Cardinals, Falcons, Seahawks?
He was on the Dolphins?
Owner/Gm would have to MORONS to bring this clown in……his last few stops he’s committed ROBBERY taking the $$$$ for extremely little contribution.
maybe could be a possible 3 or 4 with the eagles. Dotson has been a waste, Smith isn’t good enough, covey isn’t going to be a reliable target. I don’t think he’s gonna be a go-to type of WR if he came here but I do think he could take a little bit of pressure off of brown and smith
Lmao he has a list?
Eagles Steelers Commanders or Texans
Just because you keep repeating that doesn’t make it more likely to happen.
I don’t care bro there fun predictions lmao stay mad
Thanks bro there dum predictions lmao stay stupid
Predicitons can’t be dumb lmao you sound like a single mother stay mad and attention hungry hahaa
Sounds like a “single mother”? Sure thing bro, or should I say Nostradumbass who is so starved for attention she keeps repeating the idiotic predictions over and over again.
I can only imagine how big a loser you have to be to be salty over a prediction. Go polish your pecker elsewhere I don’t care about what you say or who you think you are lmao what a whiny clown lmao
Yet you come on here and post your idiotic comments nonstop, talking about some zero looking for validation in life! Nostradumbass
And I’ll keep posting them and you’ll stay miserable sounds like I got a fan/follower! ^.^
Sure thing StupidAF, keep up the great work.
Yes mam, will do Polished Karen. I got a fan now how exciting!
Before Mike Williams I agree with Steelers, but not now.
They could use depth still I don’t care what anybody says. Scotty miller van Jefferson and Ben Skorownek don’t strike any fear into any defense lmao
he’s washed up. he should sign with a bum team and accumulate as many stats as he can before moving onto pickleball or whatever he does next year
His diva ways seem pretty pathetic in hindsight. You had a gre… good career. An amazing 3 years. Best wishes!
So in 2023 he got a one year, $15 million deal, but in 2023 he got cut to save $200,000? I bet he will get picked up by somebody that’s hurting at receiver, and it’ll be a playoff team. I think he’s done as a starter, but I’d bet he’s gonna be motivated to show he’s not finished.
That’s rich, they say Odell has a list and nobody claimed him for $200k? Give me a break.
