Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that there's "nothing imminent" on a deal between Beckham and the team, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beckham was reportedly extended a contract offer by Miami after visiting with the team back in March, but it doesn't appear that a signing is around the corner. The 31-year-old is coming off a forgettable 14-game season with the Ravens, in which he put up a 35-565-3 receiving line, but he could find more success as a No. 3 option behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. It could be that Beckham will need to wait until after the dust of the 2024 NFL Draft has settled to find a landing spot.

Miami has extended a contract offer to Beckham, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beckham visited the Dolphins last week, and coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that the team has an offer extended to the veteran wideout. With Cedrick Wilson having departed in free agency, Miami is in need of a No. 3 wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and Beckham likely would offer the team an upgrade over what's been fielded at that spot in recent years. Though the 31-year-old finished with just 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns over 14 games for the Ravens last season, including two playoff matches, it's difficult to think of a landing spot better for Beckham's potential fantasy prospects than with the Dolphins.

Beckham is set to visit the Dolphins on Thursday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beckham is a free agent after recording 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns over 14 games, including two postseason contests, with the Ravens in 2023. The 31-year-old remains interested in continuing his NFL career and Miami's high-flying offense would certainly be a favorable spot to end up.

Beckham posted a goodbye message to Baltimore and Ravens fans on Instagram this Sunday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The implication is that Beckham will find a new team rather than re-sign with the Ravens. He was reasonably productive on a per-snap basis in his one year with the team -- his 2.03 yards per route ranked 26th among WRs with at least 200 routes -- but he never reached 60 percent snap share in a game after Week 1 and had only 34 yards in two playoff appearances. The 31-year-old may end up in a part-time role again in 2024, though it's also possible a new team would see if he can hold up to a typical starter's workload.

The Ravens released Beckham on Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beckham signed a one-year, $15 million contract last offseason, with void years tacked on to push the cap hit to 2024. He then renegotiated this winter to allow the Ravens to designate him as a post-June 1 release and spread the dead cap charge between 2024 and 2025. That also means Beckham won't factor into the compensatory pick formula, as he technically was released rather than having his contract expire. The 31-year-old caught 35 passes for 565 yards and three TDs in 2023, rotating with Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor in a WR room where Zay Flowers was the only full-time player. Ravens coach John Harbaugh has already suggested Flowers and Bateman will be the starters in 2024, though that doesn't necessarily preclude Beckham re-signing and taking on a similar role to what he had last year.

Coach John Harbaugh and GM Eric DeCosta both suggested this week that they'd like Beckham to re-sign with the Ravens, Clifton Brown and Ryan Mink of the team's official website report. "[Beckham]'s become a great friend of mine and a friend to the Ravens," DeCosta said Tuesday. "I think we'll just kind of assess and see what happens over the next couple of weeks."
EDGE Analysis
Beckham presumably would have to accept a major pay cut after signing a one-year, $15 million contract last offseason. He made some big plays but was never a full-time player after the first few games, ultimately finishing with 35 catches for 565 yards and three TDs in the regular season. Harbaugh has already mentioned viewing Rashod Bateman as a starter for 2024, in which Beckham would be coming back as the third/fourth wide receiver. The team recently re-signed Nelson Agholor, ensuring they'll have a veteran presence behind Bateman and Zay Flowers even if Beckham ends up signing elsewhere.

Beckham secured three of six targets for 22 yards in the Ravens' 17-10 AFC Championship Game loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Beckham didn't get on the stat sheet until the fourth quarter, recording his first catch with 8:47 remaining in the contest. The veteran wideout was third in receptions and targets on the afternoon for Baltimore, but his underwhelming numbers were representative of the type of afternoon it was for anyone not named Zay Flowers in the Ravens' air attack. Beckham's comeback campaign following an idle 2022 season due to a knee injury resulted in 35 receptions for 565 yards and three touchdowns on 64 targets across 14 games, with his 16.1 yards per catch representing a career high. Beckham played 2023 on a one-year, $1.15 million contract, so it remains to be seen whether a reunion with Lamar Jackson is in the offing over the coming months.

Beckham will sit out Saturday's regular-season finale versus the Steelers for rest purposes.
EDGE Analysis
Beckham was one of four Baltimore players ruled out on the final Week 18 injury report, with both his and quarterback Lamar Jackson's absences attributed to rest/coach's decisions with the Ravens having already clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. Several other key Ravens on both sides of the ball are likely to sit out the Week 18 game entirely or see significant role reductions as Baltimore looks to escape the contest with its health intact heading into the divisional round of the postseason. While playing in 14 games during the regular season, Beckham finished with 35 catches for 565 yards on three touchdowns on 64 targets. He cleared a 60 percent snap share in just one of those contests, but the Ravens could be counting on Beckham to take on larger workloads during the postseason.

Beckham caught one pass for 33 yards on one target in Sunday's 56-19 win over the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Like most weeks, Beckham was in and out of the lineup while appearing nicked up at times, but his one catch was a major contribution while the game was still competitive. It's possible Beckham would have played more in the second half if the game had been closer. Beckham remains the top downfield threat for the Ravens, but his inconsistent availability makes it difficult to scale up his otherwise explosive per-snap production.

Beckham caught two of three targets for 13 yards in Monday's 33-19 win over the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Beckham was targeted three times for the second straight week and failed to reach 15 yards in either contest. The veteran wideout played 54 percent of the Ravens' offensive snaps Monday, continuing a streak of three games in which he has played more than half of the team's snaps. Beckham's increased playing time is a promising sign, and he could be asked to be more involved in Week 17, when the Ravens host the Dolphins in what could be a shootout.
