Mike McDaniel: Odell Beckham Jr. release is "the best for both parties"

After making nine catches over nine games, Odell Beckham Jr. was waived by the Dolphins on Friday.

In his Friday press conference, head coach Mike McDaniel characterized the move as a positive for both Beckham and Miami.

“It's as simple as, what's the best for both him and the team moving forward. We thought it was a good time to go that direction," McDaniel said, via Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald. "I know his expectations. When you communicate transparently, I know where he's at.

“This is the best for both parties.”

Beckham was on the field for just 20 percent of offensive snaps in games played. He finishes his time in Miami with nine receptions for 55 yards.
