Odell Beckham to Visit Dolphins As Free Agency Interest Ramps Up
Free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. intends to visit the Miami Dolphins on Thursday, according to CBS Sports’s Josina Anderson.
The Miami Herald and The Athletic confirmed Anderson’s report Wednesday night.
The 31-year-old Beckham was released by the Baltimore Ravens earlier this month. Last season, he recorded 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns in 14 regular-season games in Baltimore, averaging a career-high 16.1 yards per catch.
The Herald noted that the Dolphins have “shown interest” in Beckham this offseason, hoping to add an additional weapon to bolster Miami’s No. 1-ranked offense led by last year’s NFL receiving yards leader, Tyreek Hill.
The Dolphins have an estimated $13.5 million in salary cap space to potentially sign Beckham, who is two years removed from his second ACL tear.
Beckham was the No. 12 pick by the New York Giants in the 2014 NFL draft. He spent his first five pro seasons with the Giants before joining the Cleveland Browns in 2019, where he suffered his first ACL tear. Cleveland released him in 2021.
The three-time Pro Bowler signed with the Los Angeles Rams later that year and helped them win Super Bowl LVI, racking up 288 yards and two touchdowns in the 2021-22 postseason, including a 113-yard game in the Rams’ 20—17 NFC title victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
