The Miami Dolphins added another big name to their roster Friday when multiple reports indicated they reached a deal with free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
Beckham, 31, made a meteoric ride to superstardom about a decade ago when he earned 2014 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors after recording 1,305 receiving yards, 12 touchdowns, and one iconic catch in primetime. He earned Pro Bowl nods in each of his first three seasons and later had stints with the Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Rams, and Baltimore Ravens.
Now he’ll join an offense that led the league in total yardage and was second in points scored. The Dolphins hope Beckham, who will team up with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, can help push the team from consistent winner into legitimate Super Bowl contender.
Here’s how social media reacted to the news on Friday:

Just a wild number of players capable of creating consistent explosives.

He has two torn ACLs (2020, 2022) and one fractured ankle (2017).
Odell has played in 51 games since leaving the #Giants after the 2018 season. He’s gone over 100 yards in three of them.

If Odell Beckham invites you on a boat, just say no.

Idk, seems like a decent No. 3 WR for Miami.
