Miami Dolphins and Odell Beckham Jr. have mutually agreed to part ways, with the wide receiver placed on waivers until Monday.
The news was first reported by Tom Pelissero and comes after the 32-year-old, a Super Bowl winner who has dated Kim Kardashian, was not seen training on Thursday.
The Dolphins had indicated on their injury report that this was for personal reasons.
But Beckham posted on Instagram on Thursday evening: ‘One thing about me, no matter what… I always land on my feet. God got me.”
After signing an incentivized one-year contract with the Dolphins last 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.

‘The release of Odell Beckham Jr. is expected to be official today,” he said.
“If he clears waivers, he is 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 defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 at SoFi Stadium.
But Beckham tore his ACL in the second quarter of the game, an injury that caused him to miss the entire 2022 season and at one point threatened his career, before ultimately signing with the Ravens for last year’s campaign.
Beckham also made headlines for his brief romance with Kim Kardashian. They split in March after a year of dating, but at one point 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 weren’t often seen together.
The Dolphins are in Houston this weekend against the Texans. Beckham’s now former team is 6-7 in second place behind the Buffalo Bills in the NFC East.
Miami star wide receiver Tyreek Hill also appeared to make a thinly veiled reference to Beckham’s departure Friday morning.
Just minutes after news of his departure broke, Hill wrote on X: “Take advantage of your opportunity.”
