His name most likely won’t be mentioned in any of this week’s transactions, in large part because he’s been a free agent for months. But Odell Beckham Jr. has made other news, given his addition to a pending lawsuit against Diddy alleging sexual assault.
Taijuan Moorman of USA Today has the story regarding the new claims made by Ashley Parham against multiple defendants.
Beckham has denied the allegations in a post on Twitter.
“I have been informed of the allegations about me in a suit in [California],” Beckham said. “I really can’t believe that my name is mentioned in that matter. There is absolutely no truth to those allegations. I do not know and have never met the person that filed the suit. I was not anywhere near Orinda, CA at that time. In fact, I don’t think I have ever even been to Orinda, CA. I have never done anything like that, and I would never do anything like that to anyone. I’m confident that these ridiculous claims against me will be dismissed.”
The case will proceed, until it’s dismissed. And Beckham’s lawyers will have all devices available in their effort to achieve Beckham’s full and complete exoneration.
Beckham, a first-round pick of the Giants in 2014, has also played for the Browns, Rams, Ravens, and Dolphins. The Dolphins released him during the 2024 season, after the trade deadline.
One of the NFL’s highest-paid offensive tackles is on the move, again.
Per multiple reports, the Texans have traded left tackle Laremy Tunsil to the Commanders.
Via Adam Schefter of ESPN.co, the Commanders are sending a 2025 third-round pick, a 2025 seventh-round pick, a 2026 second-round pick, and a 2026 fourth-round pick to the Texans. The Texans are sending a 2025 fourth-round pick to the Commanders, with Tunsil.
Tunsil is signed for two more years. He has a base salary of $20.95 million in 2025 and a $20.95 million salary in 2026. He also has annual workout bonuses of $150,000 and $250,000 in per-game active roster bonuses.
A first-round pick in 2016 who slid when someone posted photos of him smoking marijuana in a gas mask just as the draft was starting, Tunsil has spent three years in Miami and six in Houston.
In 2019, he was traded to Houston for a package headlined by two first-round picks and a second-round pick.
The Dolphins announced a new deal with one of their own free agents on Monday.
They have signed defensive lineman Matt Dickerson to a new deal. They did not disclose any terms of the deal.
Dickerson signed to the Miami practice squad last October and then appeared in four games after being added to the active roster. He played 15 defensive snaps and one special teams snap in those appearances.
Dickerson has also played for the Chiefs, Falcons, and Titans since entering the league in 2018. He has 42 tackles, three tackles for loss, and three quarterback hits in 40 career games.
The Texans have added a wide receiver in the first minutes of free agency.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that they have agreed to terms with Braxton Berrios. It’s a one-year deal worth $2 million.
The Texans are also set to acquire Christian Kirk in a trade with the Jaguars when the new league year opens on Wednesday. They will join Nico Collins in the Houston receiving corps and we’ll see what happens with veteran free agents Stefon Diggs and Robert Woods.
Berrios tore his ACL in his sixth appearance for the Dolphins last season. He did not catch a pass in those appearances, but was working as a kickoff and punt returner.
Berrios has 134 catches for 1,323 yards and six touchdowns for his career. He has also run for four scores and he has one kickoff return touchdown.
Cornerback Kader Kohou won’t become an unrestricted free agent in the coming days.
The Dolphins announced on Saturday that they have tendered Kohou a contract as a restricted free agent. It’s the right-of-first-refusal tender, which means that the Dolphins will have a chance to match any offer that Kohou accepts from another club.
If no other team tries to pry Kohou loose, he’ll be set to play out the year for a $3.263 million salary.
Kohou has started 38 of the 47 games that he’s played for Miami over the last three seasons. He has 180 tackles, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and a sack.
