South Beach here he comes
-Just a feeling
Dallas is another option
It won't take a lot of money to sign him at this point.
He's a No 3/4 type for passing situations but that's about it.

He got $15M plus bonuses last year. He certainly doesn’t view himself as a situational or backup guy. Not sure what a lot of money is, but I am sure he is pushing for $10-12M on a one year deal. Spotrac has his market value listed at $11.9 million. Is that “a lot of money”?

I don't think he'll get it or he would have already...ESPN played a quick sound bite on him saying "I can still play football" and that sounds desperate to me...
He's patient so maybe he waits until training camp opens but I see him more as a 1yr $6M-$8M type w/incentives to get there, what did he really do in Baltimore last year?
Turns 32, lower body injuries have slowed him down, 35/500/3TDs last year, I might be projecting his market a little high actually
His last decent seasons was 2019-74/1,000...he missed all of 2022, he's not the same WR he once was. Baltimore was foolish to pay him as much as they did
I hope he doesn't come to Miami but there are rumors he's in contact with the Dolphins and has expressed interest, Thomas from the Saints as well.
Miami signed Braxton Berrios back to a 1 yr deal

IIRC, OBJ signed in the second week of April last offseason after sitting a season and ended up making $16M for 2023. I don’t think we can conclude there’s no market for him because he hasn’t signed yet. I agree that he should not be considered a great option for a team and have voiced my option for the past several years. We’ll see if his injury history and limited production has caught up to him.

I think he got away with a huge heist and it likely won't happen again. I think there was near-universal surprise at the amount of that deal, and I'd be surprised if a team ponies up anywhere near that given his limited production last year. I'm thinking half of what he made, but who knows what the market will bear? It could surprise. I just doubt it
This stuff has gotten kind of comical, the good bye posts. Used to be something just a few players did after usually illustrious careers in a city.
I know it's not the same thing as taking out a full page add like the old days but seeing Odell do this about the same day Pickett did just left me shaking my head. The ego to think the fan base actually misses them.
Beckham in Miami would be an excellent fit. I don't think people realize how well Beckham was playing late in the season. Its not there in the counting stats, but he was making big plays and making tough catches for a few weeks right when Andrews got hurt, until defenses decided he was the #1 threat when he was out there, then Flowers got hot against #2 coverage.
Put him in Miami, where he'll never be viewed as higher than the #3, and he'll destroy probably every team's #3 CB. Also, would probably completely dash any hope of Jonnu Smith being a major part of Miami's passing game, but that was kind of a pipe dream anyway, I think.
Beckham isn't the player he was in New York, that guy is gone forever. But he's still a good WR. I know there is durability risks, but as a #3 WR, he's a scary weapon for defenses to deal with. He's that "so overrated he's now underrated" guy in my opinion.

One thing to keep in mind is that Lamar Jackson and the Ravens were at an impasse when OBJ signed. The general consensus was that Baltimore overpaid for Beckham but that it helped grease the skids to get the deal done with Jackson. Believe it or not, but that's what most of the plugged-in beat writers seemed to think.

I do, because I watched it.

OBJ only had three games last season with 50+ receiving yards (out of 16 games counting the playoffs). His combined totals on the season including the post season were 39-599-3. He averaged 37,4 yards/gm . . . which ranked 63rd among WR that played in 10 or more games. Sure, he played well against CIN and LAR (8-213-1) . . . but the flip side to that is he only put up 31-386-2 in 14 other games. Not really sure there is a great story to tell there.

I wouldn't even attempt to argue that his numbers equaled his salary. I'm saying that he drew a lot of attention from the defenses he was playing against - blame them for that, if you will - and he made some huge plays at critical times for Baltimore.

I think hes got one more good season in him
Yep. He was drawing #1 coverage, not Flowers.
I'd happily take him as a #3 WR on pretty much any team.

This guy hasn't broken 600 receiving yards in a season since 2019, and we are supposed to believe he is still a legit weapon? Come on, now. He was awesome his first three seasons in the league, no doubt about it, but that guy is long gone.

I'd pay him $1 MIL per game that he starts and plays >70% of the snaps
