Frankly, I’m surprised this even has to be addressed. Even knowing that inevitably whenever a big-name player is released or on the trade block — someone will float whether the Pittsburgh Steelers should get him — I figured WR Odell Beckham Jr. was an open-and-shut answer. Waived by the Dolphins today, the Steelers could claim him for the cheap. But there’s no reason to add him this late in the season, even with George Pickens’ hamstring injury.
The reasons should be obvious enough. At 32-years-old, Beckham’s best days are far behind him. In nine games with the Miami Dolphins this season, he caught just nine passes on 18 targets.
