Odell Beckham Jr.’s brief stint with the Miami Dolphins seems to be ending on a disappointing note. Signed on a $3M incentive-based contract, Beckham was expected to bring flair as the third-choice receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Unfortunately, his production fell short of expectations, recording only nine catches for 55 yards on 18 targets over several games.
Key Highlights:
- Challenges in Miami
Beckham struggled to make an impact after returning from the PUP list in October. His lack of receptions and limited game-time—culminating in a single target in his final game against the Jets—signaled a lack of chemistry and effectiveness within the Dolphins’ system. - Tyreek Hill’s Advice
Fellow Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill posted a pointed message on social media, “Take advantage of your opportunity,” hinting at Beckham’s missed potential to make a mark during his time in Miami. - Departure Confirmation
Beckham’s cryptic Instagram post, “One thing bout me no matter what… ima always land on my feet,” further confirmed speculation about his release. NFL insider Tom Pelissero later revealed that multiple teams, including the Rams and Ravens, are exploring signing Beckham once he clears waivers. - Decline in Production
Over the past four seasons, Beckham’s performance has declined sharply, with only 88 receptions, 1,157 yards, and 8 touchdowns in 37 games. Despite flashes of brilliance in the Super Bowl with the Rams, injuries have significantly limited his career trajectory.

What’s Next?
Though Beckham’s time with Miami ended unceremoniously, his talent still attracts interest. The Rams and Ravens are reportedly monitoring his availability, providing a potential fresh start for the former star. However, at 32 years old and with injury concerns, Beckham may face increasing challenges in proving his value in the NFL.
Is this truly the end for OBJ, or does he have one more comeback left? Fans and teams alike are left pondering his future.
