Odell Beckham Jr.’s Signing with Miami adds viable depth to Dolphins WR Room

Training-Camp Battles on the Horizon

When looking further into the now-crowded Miami Dolphins wide receiver room, add in drafted rookies Malik and Tahj Washington. Players like River Cracraft, Braxton Berrios, and Erik Ezukanma suddenly have no guaranteed roster spots. The rookies will also have their work cut out for them as well. Between the two drafted Dolphins and the aforementioned trio, there could be a camp cut on the horizon or even sooner.

With the depth chart that pretty much reads Hill, Waddle, Beckham, and an arguable battle for the next several slots, training camp this summer will have a spotlight on this room. Grier and the Dolphins are still able to be players in the second wave of free agency due to returning from the Xavier Howard cut, which translates into over $17 million post-June 1. There are escalated rumors about a Tagovailoa extension being on the horizon. Potentially add several million dollars to Dolphins 2024 salary cap space.

The last few weeks are a good example of waiting to make a judgment after an initial free agent period. Grier let a number of Dolphins walk and brought in several new faces. This team may not have taken too many steps backward in just a few weeks. A solid draft and the Beckham signing are just what the Dolphins needed heading into a week of the schedule release. New talent and expectations have created even further momentum throughout a Dolphin fan base. A base that is looking to 2024 as a year everything finally comes together for Chris Grier’s “rebuild.”
