Odell Beckham Jr.’s reaction to Dolphins rumors casts doubt over potential move

Following his release from the Baltimore Ravens with a post-June 1 designation, Odell Beckham Jr. finds himself back on the free-agent market. After bidding a heartfelt farewell to his former team, the star receiver is now the subject of speculation linking him to several receiver-needy teams.

Several teams are interested in signing free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., but the Miami Dolphins seem like a top choice. A recent social media post by Dolphins player Tyreek Hill stirred up more talk about Beckham possibly joining Miami. Even Beckham himself seems curious about this possibility.

Odell Beckham Jr. confused after rumored Dolphins move comes to light

On Friday, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill sparked excitement in the NFL community with a cryptic social media post hinting at the possible acquisition of free agent Odell Beckham Jr. The Ravens’ star receiver himself seemed puzzled by the sudden flurry of rumors surrounding his potential signing.

Beckham Jr. expressed his confusion via a post in his X account, humorously questioning whether he had signed with a team. 

“Lol I’m Confused today did I sign somewhere? Errbody keep hittin me,” he wrote on his X account. 

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler further fueled the speculation during an appearance on “NFL Live,” revealing that the Dolphins are actively pursuing Beckham Jr. to bolster their roster.

The speculation intensified following his visit to the Dolphins in March, during which he received a contract offer from the team. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel shed light on the situation during a league meeting, emphasizing the ongoing nature of negotiations with the talented wide receiver.

“We did make him an offer and business takes time, especially with players like Odell, who’s had a phenomenal career and still has really good football in front of him and has options. I think those conversations will be ongoing. We’ll see where they go.”

Beckham Jr. is poised for a comeback following a challenging period that saw him sidelined for the entire 2022 season due to an ACL tear suffered during the Super Bowl. Despite the setback, he returned to action with the Ravens in 2023, amassing 35 receptions for 565 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games, per Yardbarker.

Odell Beckham Jr.’s best landing spots

Odell Beckham Jr. is a free agent now, and everyone’s wondering which team he’ll play for next. The Miami Dolphins seem like a strong possibility. Reports say they’ve been talking to him for a while now, and he might be a good fit for their team.

Amid the buzz surrounding Beckham’s potential move to Miami, attention has also turned to the Kansas City Chiefs as a possible landing spot. The Chiefs need receiver reinforcements and have reportedly expressed mutual interest in Beckham. Even their star tight end Travis Kelce openly advocated for his addition to the team.

Another possibility for the former Ravens star’s future lies with the New York Jets, where he could thrive alongside Garrett Wilson while catching passes from quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Jets, eager to assemble a formidable roster for Rodgers’ comeback season, present an interesting opportunity for Beckham to make a significant impact.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers have been active in free agency under new head coach Jim Harbaugh. With notable moves such as releasing Mike Williams and trading Keenan Allen, the Chargers have signaled their willingness to shake up their receiving corps. Reports suggest that Beckham could be a potential target for the Chargers as they undergo a roster overhaul ahead of the upcoming season.
