Former Pro Bowl receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who has not played in the NFL since being released by the Miami Dolphins in December, is eligible to sign with any team after serving a six-game suspension for failing a drug test.
During an October appearance on “The Pivot” podcast, Beckham said the ban stemmed from a test he took last season while playing for the Dolphins. He was told that his testosterone levels were too high, but he maintains he never knowingly took any performance-enhancing substances.
“You can say whatever you want about me,” Beckham said on the podcast. “I stand firm in knowing who I am today. I ain’t never cheated anybody but myself. I’m going to stand on that and I’m going to keep it going.”
Among the teams Beckham said he was interested in signing with is the Pittsburgh Steelers, who were unable to acquire receiver Jakobi Meyers at the deadline. The Las Vegas Raiders sent Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars instead.
“You’re going to see me, maybe with the Steelers or the Rams or if the Chiefs want to call me,” he said on the podcast. “Then I’ll be playing in a Super Bowl this year.”
Beckham, 33, made the Pro Bowl in each of his first three NFL seasons with the New York Giants from 2014-16. He remained with the Giants through 2018, then played for the Cleveland Browns (2019-21), Los Angeles Rams (2021), Baltimore Ravens (2023) and the Dolphins (2024). He was part of Los Angeles’ Super Bowl-winning squad.
Across 10 NFL seasons, Beckham has 575 receptions for 7,987 yards and 59 touchdowns.
