It appears the Dolphins might consider claiming Odell Beckham Jr. To address the WR need. We got a “due diligence” from Brian Flores.
Odell + Las Vegas = thumbs up. Odell needs the brightest lights and Derek Carr is playing at the highest level of his career. I think Carr could handle all the mystique of Odell. More @Undisputed, now on FS1
@obj here me out.. 🐬🐬
Want to say this about Odell Beckham Jr: Odell is a good man with a big heart. He was always accommodating and went out of his way for those who showed him love. Thought it could work in Cleveland, but though it hasn’t, some of the attacks are way overboard. #Browns

@obj pull up on us fam @AtlantaFalcons
If the #Seahawks don’t put in a waiver claim for OBJ then the motto of Always Compete is dead. They can 100% do it and rework any aspect of his current deal they don’t like on arrival.
OBJ is up for picks
Players, analysts, and others related to the sport have been tweeting about OBJ day in and day out. Most of the people were wishing him a happy birthday, many supporting him, some inviting him to join their team and others scrutinizing him.
The wide receiver, though, had two rough seasons with the Browns, especially with Baker Mayfield, but Odell Beckham Jr is a big name in the NFL and his association with any team would just make things better for them. Although it is yet to be seen which team catches his fancy the most.
