The Miami Dolphins have parted ways with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. early. The 32-year-old wide receiver signed a one-year contract worth three million dollars with the US Football League franchise in May, but the 2022 Super Bowl champion missed the start of the season after knee surgery.
According to US media, the separation was said to have taken place by mutual consent. Beckham had just nine catches and 55 yards in nine games for Miami.
Beckham played a decisive role in the Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl victory two years ago with a touchdown, but suffered a torn cruciate ligament during the game, which forced him to sit out the entire following season. In 2023, the 31-year-old joined the Baltimore Ravens.
Beckham was selected in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the New York Giants, spent five seasons there and caused a stir with strong performances including spectacular catches and his flamboyant demeanor on and off the football field. He then played three years in Cleveland for the Browns, before moving to the Rams in 2021.
