If it came as a surprise that the Miami Dolphins released wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., it’s only because of the name.

The former 2-time NFL All-Pro had just 9 receptions for 55 yards and no touchdowns in 9 games for the Dolphins this season while playing on just a 1-year, $3 million contract.

What shouldn’t be a surprise is the likely flood of interest for Beckham from teams in need of a top-notch free agent — which it’s debatable he still is — but willing to roll the dice.

The Pewter Plank’s Josh Hill made a case for why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers should be one of those teams that at least kick the tires on bringing the former 2-time NFL All-Pro in for the final stretch of the season and, hopefully, the playoffs.

“After losing Chris Godwin for the season to a dislocated ankle, Tampa Bay has pushed to the edge as far as wide receiver depth,” Hill wrote. “Mike Evans missed three games, Sterling Shepard has a foot injury, and Kam Johnson was just this week designated to return from IR … With just four games left, Tampa Bay has control of the NFC South and a playoff spot but it’s not yet a firm grasp. Looking further down the road, the Bucs need to find a way to make sure they’re competitive in the playoffs, and adding a potential threat like OBJ could be a way to do that.”
