While there had been plenty of buzz surrounding the move, it took a little while for the Miami Dolphins and Odell Beckham Jr. to get things finalized. It finally happened, with OBJ and the AFC East side agreeing to terms on a one-year contract.
Now, Beckham is ready to try and make a splash for the Miami offense catching balls from Tua Tagovailoa. The former NY Giants wideout will also be teaming up with Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill to form arguably the best WRs room in the league.
Hill himself is one of the best in the business, known for making plays on the field and turning heads off of it too. That much was showcased once again, with the speedster trolling OBJ and the Giants shortly after the breaking news dropped:
No boat party though 😂

Tyreek Hill had a priceless reaction to Odell Beckham Jr. signing with the Dolphins
Oh come on, Tyreek! Hill just had to bring up the infamous boat trip the Giants receivers took in 2016 before taking on the Packers in Green Bay. We all know how that game went, with New York being eliminated from the postseason in rough fashion.
The 'boat curse' is still something Giants Nation talks about, but luckily said curse ended in 2022 with Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley powering the G-Men back to the playoffs - a win over the Vikings was posted that postseason too.
Now, Beckham is getting ready to suit up for his fifth team. His brilliant career of course got started in East Rutherford, as he'll go down as a Giants great. The front office has tried to replace his production several times, but they haven't had much luck.
The hope is that No. 6 overall pick Malik Nabers will finally be the WR1 this team has been begging for. There are high expectations for second-round pick Tyler Nubin too, who has also promised that he'll be keeping the boat/yacht photos to a minimum.
Must we be reminded of that trip from hell so often? Unfortunately, yes. Beckham and Hill are going to be fun to watch together with the Dolphins and we'll surely be entertained by the two throughout the 2024 season. Next time, though, we hope Hill finds a different way to congratulate a new teammate. Enough with the Big Blue trolling, fellas.
