Odell Beckham Jr. isn’t ready to call it a career just yet. <\/p>\n
In an interview with Complex, the free agent wide receiver shut down retirement rumors and said he’s the healthiest he’s been “in a long time.” <\/p>\n
“Retiring is not happening,” Beckham said (17:40 mark). “I just came from the gym. This is the first time in a long time I can, like, pop up out of bed or if a dog was about to chase me I could take off running. I’m good. And I know I could play in the league right now.”<\/p>\n
While Beckham wants a chance to play somewhere, he’s not gunning for a WR1 position. He just wants to make an impact. <\/p>\n
“I’m not looking to be someone’s No. 1 wide receiver and get 15 targets,” Beckham said. “Like, bro I know the game. I get how it goes… I just be wanting to play ball on a good team where I have a role, where I got five, six, seven plays where I get the chance to catch… I just want to play ball, finish off my legacy for myself.”<\/p>\n
Beckham, a three-time Pro Bowler and former Offensive Rookie of the Year, last played for the Miami Dolphins in 2024, though he recorded just nine catches for 55 yards in nine games. <\/p>\n
Before his stop in Miami, he was a productive receiver for the Baltimore Ravens, logging 565 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games. <\/p>\n
While Beckham remains unsigned going into Week 3, injuries and other factors will likely leave teams needing a wide receiver. Beckham will be ready if he gets any calls. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Odell Beckham Jr. isn’t ready to call it a career just yet.
