Former Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. signed a one-year deal worth over $8 million with the Miami Dolphins.
This addition further bolsters an already explosive offense featuring star receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, along with Pro Bowl quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
During his inaugural media appearance with the Miami press, Beckham shared his excitement and expectations for the upcoming season.
He acknowledged the team’s incredible speed and the unique skills of his new teammates. “I gotta get back on track, because it’s some speed down here,” Beckham remarked.
In the press conference, Beckham revealed he is “at peace” with not being the Dolphins’ No. 1 wide receiver.

Beckham, a former Offensive Rookie of the Year, hasn’t recorded a 1,000-yard season since 2019 or an 80-catch season since 2016.
Despite recent challenges, his career is marked by spectacular plays and the ability to consistently win one-on-one battles.
Joining Miami means stepping into a dynamic wide receiver room, which is already home to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Both players have secured their reputations as two of the fastest and most productive receivers in the NFL. Head Coach Mike McDaniel played a crucial role in recruiting Beckham to Miami.
