As the trade deadline approaches, a receiver who was among the best in the game may be secretly hoping for an exit ticket from his current team.
Receiver Odell Beckham Jr. did not get the chance. Zero in three games for the 2-5 Dolphins. In the 28-27 loss to the Cardinals, Beckham wasn’t even targeted.
“I thought he looked as comfortable as he looked,” coach Mike McDaniel told reporters earlier this week. [Tagovailoa] He sees that on tape and we’re kind of adapting to what the guys are showing us and I thought he was going the best ways, so I expect him to be more involved based on him agreeing to that and having more offense so we can get it to him on the court more. So I think it was a step in the right direction, although the fund score doesn’t really quantify that. From our standpoint, from the way we look at offense and the way we look at doing our jobs, I think he’s done a good job with the opportunities he’s been given, and we’re going to continue to push that envelope because we’re trying to make the most of what kind of football team we are and we know he can. Help us.”
Beckham came to Miami to help the Dolphins, but not without catching the ball. He missed the first four matches due to injury. It’s unclear if another team will trade for him at this point, but the Dolphins should consider the possibility of making a move — especially if they lose to the Bills on Sunday to fall to 2-6.
