Giants legend Odell Beckham Jr. gets retirement update after Dolphins decision image

Odell Beckham Jr. doesn't have a football team.

That has prompted some corners of NFL social media to start to suggest OBJ is retiring.

Is he?

So far, there have been no substantiated reports of such news. But it does seem like something that could be in the nearer future rather than far.

Odell suited up for the Dolphins in 2024, but he had just nine catches for 55 yards in nine games.

The year before for Baltimore, he had 35 grabs for 565 yards.

OBJ will turn 33 years old in November.

His last season with more than 565 yards was 2019, when he had 1,035 for the Browns.

Beckham broke the 1,000-yard barrier in five of his first six seasons but hasn't even broken 600 since.

The bright side for OBJ is there's no indication that he's injured right now. Injuries have brought down much of the second half of his career.

But if a team doesn't sign him, that won't matter.

So no, Beckham isn't officially retired. But the NFL doesn't seem all that interested in him, either.
