Vikings Make Three Roster Moves, Cut Odell Beckham Jr.

The Vikings also released G C.J. Hanson and OT Corey Robinson II from the practice squad.

Beckham was promoted to the active roster for Week 9 and is eligible to return to the practice squad.

Beckham, 33, was taken with the No. 12 overall pick by the Giants back in 2014. He was set to make a base salary of $8,459,000 for the 2018 season when he agreed to a new five-year extension worth up to $95 million that included $65 million in total guarantees.

The Giants traded Beckham to the Browns in 2019 for the No. 17 overall pick, their second third-round pick, and S Jabrill Peppers. The Browns reworked his contract before waiving him after the trade deadline in 2021. He signed a one-year deal with the Rams to finish out the season, but tore his ACL in the Super Bowl win and sat out all of 2022. 

The Ravens signed Beckham to a one-year contract before he became a free agent again and joined the Dolphins on a one-year, $3 million deal. Miami let him go in December 2024, and he signed a one-year, $1.3 million contract with a minimum salary benefit cap hit of $1.075 million with New York in June.

The Giants released Beckham in October and he caught on with the Vikings practice squad. He was then promoted to the active roster for Week 9 against the Bills.

In 2026, Beckham has appeared in four games for the Giants and Vikings and was targeted once.
