At times throughout the 2023 NFL season, it looked like the Miami Dolphins would be the AFC’s representative in the Super Bowl.
They started the year strong, particularly with their offense, and the defense played well enough to help them win games.
The Miami Dolphins spent plenty of facetime with free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. on Thursday, according to Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald. There appears to be mutual interest in making a marriage between the parties, but the deal has to made fiscal sense for both the well-traveled Pro Bowl receiver and the Dolphins.
The question is not whether the two sides are right for one another, as the Dolphins believe that Beckham, Jr, who lives in Miami, has the tools to be their third receiver. The only question remaining is how much money can the Dolphins afford to pay Beckham, Jr. now as they barely have much room under the salary cap until they can restructure and extend several more contracts.
Jackson intimated that another free agent receiver that the Dolphins coveted at some point, refused to sign with the Dolphins because Chris Grier and his staff did not want to throw a lot of money at the position. Coach Mike McDaniel would love to add Beckham, Jr. to his lineup, along with Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Jonnu Smith, but the contract offer has to make fiscal sense to the Dolphins, who are looking to buy low and get a good return.
