Miami Dolphins and Odell Beckham Jr have mutually agreed to part ways, with the wide receiver going on waivers until Monday.
It comes after the 32-year-old, a Super Bowl winner who has dated Kim Kardashian, was not seen at Thursday’s practice.
The Dolphins had said it was due to personal reasons on their injury report before confirming the news on Friday morning.
After missing practice, Beckham then posted on Instagram on Thursday night: ‘One thing about me no matter what… ima always land on my feet. God got me.’
After signing an incentivized one-year deal with the Dolphins in the summer, Beckham has struggled in Miami. In nine games, he has recorded nine receptions for 55 yards and has not scored a touchdown.
Pelissero hinted that two playoff chasing teams could make a move for Beckham to bolster their postseason aspirations.
‘Odell Beckham Jr.’s release is expected to be official today,’ he said.
‘If he clears waivers, he will be free to sign with any team. Two teams he has played with before, the Rams and Ravens, are currently in playoff contention…’
Beckham won the Super Bowl with the Rams in Los Angeles in 2022, when they beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 at SoFi Stadium.
But Beckham tore his ACL in the second quarter of the game, an injury that saw him miss the entire 2022 season and, at one stage threaten his career, before eventually signing with the Ravens for last year’s campaign.
Beckham also hit the headlines for his brief romance with Kim Kardashian. They split in March after a year of dating but at one stage it was claimed the reality star was considering having a child with Beckham.
But for such a high-profile couple, they managed to keep things low-key and were not often seen together.
It was reported earlier this week that Kardashian, 44, has since started dating somebody else.
The Dolphins are in Houston this weekend against the Texans. Beckham’s now former team are 6-7, second to Buffalo Bills in NFC East.
Tyreek Hill, the star wide receiver in Miami, also appeared to post a thinly-veiled reference to Beckham’s exit on Friday morning.
Just minutes after the news broke of his departure, Hill wrote on X: ‘Take advantage of your opportunity.’
