The Miami Dolphins have officially released wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from their roster, the team announced on Tuesday. Beckham, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, was signed by the Dolphins in November, but his tenure with the team was short-lived.
Beckham, 30, was signed by the Dolphins on November 10, just days after being released by the Cleveland Browns. At the time, the move was seen as a low-risk, high-reward signing for the Dolphins, who were looking to bolster their receiving corps.
However, Beckham struggled to make an impact with the Dolphins, catching just two passes for 26 yards in his two games with the team. He was inactive for the team’s Week 12 game against the Carolina Panthers, and it became clear that his time with the Dolphins was coming to an end.
Beckham’s release comes as no surprise, given his lack of production on the field and the team’s decision to go in a different direction. The Dolphins have a number of young receivers on their roster, including DeVante Parker, Preston Williams, and Lynn Bowden, and it’s likely that they will look to give those players more opportunities in the coming weeks.
Beckham’s career has been marked by flashes of brilliance, but also by injuries and off-field issues. He was a first-round pick by the New York Giants in 2014 and quickly became one of the most dynamic players in the NFL, earning three Pro Bowl selections and being named a Second-Team All-Pro in 2014.
However, Beckham’s time with the Giants was marked by controversy, including a number of incidents involving his behavior on and off the field. He was traded to the Cleveland Browns in 2019, but struggled to replicate his earlier success, and was eventually released by the team in November.
It’s unclear what the future holds for Beckham, but it’s likely that he will look to latch on with another team in the coming weeks. Despite his struggles, Beckham is still a talented player who can make plays on the field, and it’s possible that he could find success with a new team.
