Football fans appear on the same page after Odell Beckham Jr. mutually parted ways with the Miami Dolphins on Friday morning.
After signing an incentivized one-year deal with the Dolphins in the summer, Beckham has struggled in Miami. In nine games, he has recorded nine receptions for 55 yards and has not scored a touchdown.
Beckham was not seen in practice on Thursday with the Dolphins’ injury report citing personal reasons for his absence.

‘Him and Aaron [Rodgers] should start their own team, the has beens, one user wrote.
‘And just like that, Odell is officially washed,’ a second added.

‘It’s time to hang it up OBJ,’ a third advised the wide receiver.
‘It’s over OBJ,’ commented a fourth. ‘It’s time to be a Tv analyst. I hope he saved and invested his money from football.’
‘The NFL, OBJ agreed to part ways permanently,’ a fifth chimed in. ‘Dude is further past his prime than Biden.’
Others suggested that Beckham is ‘overrated’ and did not capitalize on the viral popularity he gained from his one-handed catch with the New York Giants in 2014.
Before landing in Miami, Beckham played with the Browns for three years, won a title with the Rams in 2021, and joined the Ravens in 2023.
With him back on the market, Tom Pelissero hinted that two of his former teams may be working to re-acquire his services.
‘Odell Beckham Jr.’s release is expected to be official today,’ Pelissero said.
‘If he clears waivers, he will be free to sign with any team. Two teams he has played with before, the Rams and Ravens, are currently in playoff contention…’
After missing practice, Beckham posted on Instagram on Thursday night: ‘One thing about me no matter what… ima always land on my feet. God got me.’
His departure comes as the Dolphins are 6-7, sitting second in the AFC East with four games remaining this season.
