Odell Beckham Jr. Mocks Report He’s Signing With Dolphins
Odell Beckham Jr. sparingly posts on X, the social media format formerly known as Twitter.
Beckham, a three-time Pro Bowl selection who has started 97 NFL games, has posted or replied to someone on the format 13 times in 2024.
The free agent receiver used two of those posts Saturday to dispel rumors that he’s on the verge of signing with the Miami Dolphins, which were fueled by a social media post from Tyreek Hill that may or may not have been fake saying Beckham to Miami was “confirmed.”
“[Laugh out loud]. Confused today. Did I sign somewhere?” Beckham wrote on on X. “[Everybody] keeps hitting me.”
When a Baltimore Ravens fan responded to his post by sending Beckham a picture of him wearing a Dolphins jersey, and citing a non-credible report that he was joining the Dolphins, Beckham went out his way to make a joke of the report.
“Damnnn, sources gottttt it again,” he wrote, using three laughing emojis to close the response.
While the Dolphins have expressed interest in Beckham, who earned $16 million from the Ravens last season, so have other teams, and no deal has been reached.
HOW WOULD OBJ FIT INTO MIAMI?
The Dolphins need a possession receiver who can masquerade as a between-the-hashes target, and that’s exactly the role Beckham played last season for the Ravens, contributing 565 receiving yards and three touchdowns on the 35 receptions he pulled down in the 16 games he played in 2024.
However, these days Beckham, who sat out a year of football rehabbing a knee injury in 2022. is more of a big name than he is a game changer.
