The Miami Dolphins have officially released wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from their roster, ending his brief stint with the team. Beckham Jr. was signed by the Dolphins in November, but only appeared in two games before being released.
The 29-year-old wide receiver was signed by the Dolphins on November 11, 2022, after being released by the Cleveland Browns earlier in the season. Beckham Jr. was expected to provide a boost to the Dolphins’ receiving corps, but he struggled to make an impact in his limited time with the team.
In his two games with the Dolphins, Beckham Jr. caught just two passes for 26 yards, and was targeted only six times by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Despite his limited playing time, Beckham Jr.’s release is still a surprise, given his talent and experience in the NFL.
Beckham Jr. has had a tumultuous career in the NFL, with stints with the New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, and now the Miami Dolphins. He has been plagued by injuries and off-field issues, which have limited his playing time and effectiveness on the field.
The Dolphins’ decision to release Beckham Jr. may be seen as a sign that the team is looking to move on from veteran players and focus on developing their younger talent. The team has a number of young receivers on their roster, including DeVante Parker, Preston Williams, and Lynn Bowden Jr., who may see more playing time in Beckham Jr.’s absence.
Beckham Jr.’s release also raises questions about his future in the NFL. At 29, he is still in his prime, but his injuries and off-field issues may make it difficult for him to find another team willing to take a chance on him.
The Dolphins’ move to release Beckham Jr. is the latest in a series of roster moves made by the team in recent weeks. The team has also released cornerback Chris Lammons and signed defensive tackle Zach Sieler to a contract extension.
