A report from last week indicated Odell Beckham Jr.‘s Dolphins visit went well, and that both player and team were interested in working out a deal. Head coach Mike McDaniel spoke on the matter at the annual league meetings, and he confirmed an offer has been made. 
“Things went great with him,” McDaniel said, via the Miami Herald’s Daniel Oyefusi. “We did make him an offer and business takes time, especially with players such as Odell, who’s had a phenomenal career, still has really good football in front of him and has options. So, I think those conversations will be ongoing. We’ll see where they go.”
Beckham will not return to the Ravens, with whom he spent the 2023 campaign after a full season out of the league. Upon return from an ACL tear, the 31-year-old posted 565 yards and three touchdowns, production which could line him up as a third receiver option in the Dolphins’ offense. Miami already has Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle atop the depth chart, one which also includes Braxton Berrios and River Cracraft. The team has been connected to the pursuit of a more experienced WR3, though, and Beckham would certainly fit the bill.
The latter drew interest from the Jets last offseason before his Ravens agreement (one year, $15MM guaranteed). New York has added Mike Williams this year, however, likely removing a potential Dolphins competitor from the equation. Miami led the league in passing last season, and the return of Hill, Waddle and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will give the team’s offense the chance to replicate its success in 2024.
Beckham could serve in a complementary role with the Dolphins, something which would be expected if any eventual Miami agreement was worth less than his previous Ravens one. With $10.3MM in cap space, the Dolphins have less spending power than most other teams at the moment, and the upcoming draft will provide the team with opportunities to add a younger receiving option. Beckham could very well already be in the fold by the time the draft begins, however.
Fun for everyone outside the Dolphins accounting staff
*How do you properly pay Tua if he’s given a healthy Reke Waddle Odell Achane and Moestert next season? Stats will jump off the page but he’s never going to be elite Imo, suppose there’s worse problems to have in the NFL but damn Id hate paying him 40~45 AAV for 4+ years after next year
Reke lmao, you suck
Man, he fleeced the Ravens last yr @15Mill for season. We’ll see if his agent has any magic left. Been shadow of himself since that knee injury in SB. Can still be nice complimentary WR and it’s probably better for him to limit his plays @this stage of his career. Dude can catch !
And so many Dallas fans wanted that deal. I’m glad we didn’t go get him. It would’ve only exacerbated the comedy of errors that is my Cowboys.
Why? May as well offer Jerry Rice too. They’re equally washed up.
“1 year, $9 mill. Take it or leave it Odell”
How could OBJ properly accessorize his wardrobe with just $9M?
Silly me!
“One year, $7M, with incentives worth up to total $13.2M!!! Take it or leave it Odell”
