Beckham‘s journey back to the field has been marked by challenges. After missing the entire 2022 season due to a torn ACL suffered during Super Bowl LVI with the Los Angeles Rams, he returned in 2023 with the Baltimore Ravens. Despite recording 35 receptions for 565 yards and three touchdowns, Beckham admitted to contemplating retirement before the season commenced.
The former New York Giants star, drafted 12th overall in the NFL Draft, enjoyed a prolific tenure with the team, amassing 390 receptions for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns over five seasons. However, his stint with the Cleveland Browns was marred by injury, including a mid-season ACL tear in 2020 that sidelined him. Released by the Browns in November 2021 amidst social media controversies, Beckham found himself with the Rams, contributing 27 receptions for 305 yards and five touchdowns in eight regular-season appearances.
OBJ would elevate the Dolphins offense
For the Dolphins, Beckham’s potential arrival adds intrigue to an already potent offense. Under the guidance of head coach Mike McDaniel, Miami boasted the NFL’s top-ranked offense in yards per game in 2023, with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa leading the charge. Tagovailoa’s future with the team remains uncertain, with discussions ongoing regarding a potential long-term extension or exercising his fifth-year option.
Financial considerations loom large as well, with Miami currently holding an estimated $13.5 million in salary cap space following contract restructures for linebacker Bradley Chubb and running back Jeff Wilson Jr. The decision on Beckham’s acquisition will hinge on how much the team is willing to invest in bolstering its receiving corps.
As Beckham explores his options, the football world eagerly awaits the outcome of his visit to Miami and the potential impact his presence could have on the Dolphins’ offensive prowess.
