Kim Kardashian’s new beau Odell Beckham Jr. is reportedly set to visit the Miami Dolphins on Thursday as he continues his search for a new team.
Beckham Jr. is currently a free agent, having only joined the Baltimore Ravens last season on a one-year contract worth $15million. His 2024 salary cap charge is just under $4m.
Despite being a Super Bowl winner, he recorded just 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns with the Ravens last season, leaving many to believe they overpaid for him.
DailyMail.com exclusively revealed last week that Beckham Jr. wants to sign with the Kansas City Chiefs ideally, sparking a possible awkward reunion between Kardashian and Travis Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift.
However, he is commanding a high price for his services given this will likely be his final pay day in football before the 31-year-old eventually retires. Teams have so far been unwilling to meet his demands given his injury history and age.

Under Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa, Miami were one of last season’s most exciting teams
But the Dolphins could be a possible landing spot and Beckham Jr. would join an incredibly talented receiving unit that already includes Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
According to NFL insider Josina Anderson, Beckham Jr. will be going to Miami for a visit on Thursday.
Under young head coach Mike McDaniel and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, the Dolphins were one of the most exciting teams in the NFL last season before being eliminated from the playoffs by the Chiefs.
The prospect of Beckham heading to Kansas City is also slim now after they signed Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown.
The Chiefs wanted to improve their receiving unit this offseason, given Patrick Mahomes and his offense struggled for large parts of last year before eventually clicking at the right time to win the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
But if they do opt to offer terms to Beckham Jr. it would mean long-term rivals Kardashian and Swift will be supporting the same team next season.
Beckham Jr. and Kardashian added to growing speculation about their romance earlier this month by heading to Chateau Marmont for Jay-Z and Beyonce’s post-Oscars party.
It remains to be seen whether they would watch games together in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium next season but Swift has been a regular presence at Kelce’s games since going public with their relationship last year.

It could prompt an awkward reunion between Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift at Arrowhead
The bitter history between the two began in 2016 when Kim’s ex-husband, rapper Kanye West, released his 2016 track ‘Famous’ which included a vulgar reference to Swift in the lyrics.
Taylor, understandably, took offense. However, Kanye defended the line, claiming he had a phone conversation with Taylor and that she had consented to the lyric ahead of time, which she denied.
Taylor continued to accuse Kanye of lying which prompted Kim to release a partial recording of the call in question. Taylor hit back, claiming that while Kanye spoke through some of the lyrics, he never said that he would call her a ‘b***h.’
Taylor opened up on the ordeal during her interview with TIME last year, after she was named the magazine’s Person of the Year in December.
She said that the public fallout felt like ‘a career death,’ adding: ‘Make no mistake — my career was taken away from me.’
Referring to release of the recorded conversation she added: ‘You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar.’
‘That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls.’
