Odell Beckham Jr. is the subject of a bidding war between Miami and Kansas City.Odell Beckham Jr. is a free agent after his contract with the Baltimore Ravens expired. It was always going to be a short marriage between himself and the Ravens due to their cap situation and commitment to Lamar Jackson.
The option to select a new team is now down to the receiver, and he has two major options in the form of the electric Miami Dolphins and the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs.
During the 2024 NFL Owners meeting, Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel engaged with the media, addressing the recent meeting with Odell Beckham Jr and the potential signing with the team.
"We did make him an offer. He's had a phenomenal career, and he has really good football ahead of him, so he has options. Business takes time, but I would enjoy coaching him," McDaniel declared.
How would Beckham fit into the Dolphins' spectacular offense?
Beckham's potential integration into Mike McDaniel's offense appears promising, given its emphasis on wide receivers, which are integral to its functionality.
At 31, Beckham boasts an impressive track record since entering the NFL in 2014. With 97 starts out of 110 games and 59 career touchdowns, his impact on the field is undeniable. Despite an injury setback in 2022,
Beckham's accolades include a Super Bowl victory, multiple All-Pro and Pro Bowl selections, and the 2014 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year title. He has showcased his talents with the Giants, Browns, Rams, and Ravens.

Offseason departures of key players like River Cracraft, Chase Claypool, and Robbie Chosen, despite the re-signing of Berrios, emphasize the urgency for reinforcement.
