Super Bowl candidate Odell Beckham Jr. has extended a contract offer to him. Prior to finding a home in the NFL this summer, Beckham Jr. spent months in free agency. The former All-Pro wide receiver might be ready to follow a similar route a year later in order to perhaps sign with a Super Bowl contender in 2024.
Following his signing in April 2023, Beckham Jr. became a valuable member of the Baltimore Ravens’ passing attack. The veteran wide receiver recorded five games with 40 or more receiving yards, including a 116-yard effort against the Cincinnati Bengals on November 16, despite having a limited role in an offense that was heavily reliant on running plays.

Following his separation from Baltimore this offseason, the 31-year-old has been forced to bide his time in NFL free agency as other elite receivers in the class ink agreements. Beckham Jr. recently visited the Miami Dolphins with mutual interest between the two teams as the market is beginning to slow down.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel disclosed to media on Monday that the team has formally extended a contract offer to Beckham Jr. But as he pointed out, “business takes time,” so a deal might not close right away.

Whether or if an agreement is made will ultimately depend on Beckham Jr.’s contract demands; Miami is the first team to publicly express interest in him and invite him to the squad this offseason. It’s likely that an agreement is finally made given his desire to play for a Super Bowl contender and live in a pleasant place.

Even though Beckham Jr.’s productivity is more fitting for a No. 3 receiver than a mainstay in a high-volume passing approach, Baltimore was able to utilize him to great success in the final moments of the game. According to Pro Football Focus, Beckham Jr. had the fourth-highest yards per route run (2.93) among all receivers from Weeks 8–14. He also had a 118.6 QB rating when he was targeted. When he last performed at that level, it was as a crucial member of the Los Angeles Rams’ offense leading them to a Super Bowl victory.
