Tom Pelissero reports that the Dolphins are placing veteran WR Odell Beckham Jr. on the physically unable to perform list to start training camp.
Pelissero adds that Beckham is working through minor injuries and this is part of Miami’s plan to ease him back into football.
Beckham Jr. received a one-year contract worth up to $8.25 million from the Dolphins back in May, despite having higher offers from other teams.
Beckham, 31, was taken with the No. 12 overall pick by the Giants back in 2014. He was set to make a base salary of $8,459,000 for the 2018 season when he agreed to a new five-year extension worth up to $95 million that included $65 million in total guarantees.
The Giants traded Beckham to the Browns in 2019 for the No. 17 overall pick, their second third-round pick, and S Jabrill Peppers. The Browns reworked his contract before waiving him after the trade deadline in 2021. He signed a one-year deal with the Rams to finish out the season but tore his ACL in the Super Bowl win and sat out all of 2022.
The Ravens signed Beckham to a one-year contract last year before he became a free agent once more and joined the Dolphins.
In 2023, Beckham appeared in 14 games for the Ravens and caught 35 passes for 565 yards (16.1 YPC) and three touchdowns.
We had him included in our Top 100 – 2024 NFL Free Agents list.
