MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins have agreed to sign veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to a one-year contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Friday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract has not been finalized.
The NFL Network was the first to report the agreement, which is expected to reach an amount of $8.25 million, the network reported.
Beckham, 31, will join his fifth NFL team after previous stints with the Los Angeles Rams, Baltimore, Cleveland and the New York Giants, who drafted him 12th overall in 2014. He won a Super Bowl with the Rams after the 2021 season.
He joins a Dolphins group led by yardage leader Tyreek Hill and speedster Jaylen Waddle. Hill and Waddle combined for more yards (2,813) than any other receiving duo in the NFL in 2023, but Miami had questions about the depth behind those two.
Beckham, who had 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns with Baltimore last season, was released by the Ravens in March. He visited the Dolphins earlier this offseason and was made an offer, but the two sides have yet to comment on the deal.
“Things went great with him,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said in March. “We made him an offer and negotiation takes time, especially with players like Odell, who has had a phenomenal career and who still has a very good level of football to offer and has options. “I’m definitely ready to coach him if we can come to an agreement and I think both parties are working to make that happen.”
