Odell Beckham Jr. rumors: NFL WR's career could be over at 32 as interest from teams hits rock bottom

Odell Beckham Jr. might be nearing the end of his NFL career. Coming out of LSU, the New York Giants drafted the wide receiver with the 12th overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft. He won his first and only Super Bowl championship while playing for the Los Angeles Rams during the 2021 season.

In May 2024, Odell Beckham Jr. signed a one-year deal to play for the Miami Dolphins. After recovering from his injury, the wide receiver saw time in just nine games. He recorded 55 yards and nine catches, after which the Dolphins decided to release him in December.

So far, Odell Beckham Jr. remains a free agent. However, reports also indicate that the 32-year-old has not garnered interest from any team in the NFL. This lack of interest could potentially end with one solution for the wide receiver. According to a post by NFL Rumors, the 3x Pro Bowler could be headed towards retirement after 10 seasons in the league.

"NFL RUMORS: With little to no interest from teams, former #Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. could be headed for retirement after 10 NFL seasons," the post read.
