The Miami Dolphins (6-7) and receiver Odell Beckham Jr. have mutually agreed to part ways, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Friday.

Beckham, 32, was granted his release as he seeks an opportunity elsewhere. He will be on waivers until Monday.

Beckham signed a one-year deal worth up to $8.25 million with the Dolphins this past offseason, with the idea being he would serve as a veteran complement to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in the passing game. He began the season on the reserve/PUP list, sidelined after undergoing knee surgery during the offseason.

Beckham made his team debut in Week 5 against the New England Patriots (3-10). In nine games in Miami, Beckham hauled in just nine receptions for 55 yards. Beckham was on the field for less than 32% of the offensive snaps in each game with the Dolphins. Jonnu Smith asserted himself as the top option behind the aforementioned duo with 61 catches for 692 yards.

Odell Beckham Jr. aiming for new opportunity after Miami release

Beckham is just one year removed from a productive campaign with the Baltimore Ravens (8-5), in which he caught 35 passes for 565 yards and three scores. Injuries have limited him dating back to the 2020 season but in his prime, Beckham was one of the league’s best and most exciting wideouts.

He recorded four 1,000-yard seasons during his time with the New York Giants (2-11) from 2014-18 and tallied another with the Cleveland Browns (3-10) in 2019. Beckham won a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams (8-6) in 2021.
