The Miami Dolphins have released veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., parting ways just four weeks before the end of the regular season. The decision is being reported as mutual.
Beckham, who signed a one-year deal worth up to $8.25 million in May, began the season recovering from knee surgery and was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. While the Dolphins were aware he might miss the start of the season, Beckham’s time on the field this year has been limited.
This week, Beckham missed two consecutive practices, with the team citing “personal reasons.” While his absence has fueled speculation, a source close to the situation says the release was amicable.
Beckham joined the Dolphins hoping to contribute to a strong offense led by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and standout receiver Tyreek Hill.
