Beckham played in just nine games this season before being released from the team.

He missed both Dolphins practices this week for “personal reasons” before the release.

The release was mutual, according to ESPN.

Beckham signed a one-year, $3 million deal with the Dolphins in may that could improve up to $8.25 million with incentives.

However, he had knee surgery in the offseason and started the year on injured reserve.

Beckham’s first start didn’t come until Week 5 against the New England Patriots.

Beckham was signed by the Dolphins to take over the WR3 spot behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but a new receiving option emerged over the course of the season.

Tight end Jonnu Smith has exploded onto the scene, taking a massive target share in the offense.

This season, Beckham has just nine catches for 55 yards and no touchdowns.

Smith now has 61 catches for 692 yards and five touchdowns.

Beckham will now be free to sign with a new team this season.

It is unclear if any teams will be interested in Beckham though, and his time in the NFL could be coming to a close.

NFL fans shared their opinions on social media on what could be next for the former superstar receiver.

“And just like that, Odell is officially washed,” one fan said.

“I really want to see Odell Beckham Junior have one more season that reminds us who he once was,” another fan said.
