Odell Beckham Jr. Reinstated by NFL, Free to Sign Immediately

His six-game PED ban tied to a 2024 Dolphins test is complete, with Beckham maintaining he never knowingly used banned substances.

Overview

  • Commissioner Roger Goodell approved Beckham's reinstatement on Tuesday, making the 33-year-old wide receiver eligible to play right away as a free agent.
  • The suspension covered six games for a violation of the league's performance-enhancing drug policy connected to a test from his stint with Miami.
  • Beckham has publicly disputed the characterization of intentional PED use and accepted the league's discipline without an appeal.
  • He has not played since the Dolphins released him in December 2024 after posting nine catches for 55 yards that season, following a 565-yard campaign with the Ravens in 2023.
  • Multiple outlets have floated potential destinations such as the Chiefs, Steelers, Rams, 49ers, Bills and Broncos, though no team has formally signaled interest.
