Odell Beckham Jr. dismissed social media rumors that he was retiring from the NFL on Tuesday, saying he still intends to play despite being a free agent ahead of the 2025 season.
A parody account on X, formerly known as Twitter, falsely claimed the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver was ending his career after 10 seasons. The post found its way to Beckham, who responded directly, writing on his X account, 'Not done yet... thanks for (your) concerns and have a blessed day.'
The 32-year-old, who spent last season with the Miami Dolphins before being released in December, played in nine games in 2024, recording nine receptions for 55 yards and no touchdowns -- the first scoreless campaign of his career. He has not drawn reported interest from teams during the offseason.
Beckham, the 12th overall pick in the 2014 draft by the New York Giants, enjoyed five 1,000-yard receiving seasons early in his career, but has struggled with injuries and reduced production in recent years. He missed all of 2022 with a torn ACL sustained in the Los Angeles Rams' Super Bowl victory.
Despite his decline, Beckham made clear he will decide when his playing days are over. 'Plz stop reading everything on the internet, and stop texting me happy retirement... the day I'm done I will let u know,' he later wrote on Tuesday.
