“Last year I was dealing with this, and for me this was tough because we talk about those dark times,” Beckham said. “I cheated myself as a man, father brother, son… in ways that were hard to forgive myself for… But I’ve never cheated the system.
“To come back and play football — I have to come out and deal with while I was in Miami, hearing that you get charged and someone says, ‘You failed for PEDs.’
“You know how this sh–t goes. We’re grown men. I’m in the program because I didn’t tell them I was in Arizona and I was going to Vegas for one night, and now I’m in Vegas and you want to come take a drug test.”
Beckham explained that he felt, “as a grown man,” that he didn’t need to tell the team he was going to Las Vegas for one night.
“I’ve been in the program for 10-plus years,” Beckham said. “They come test anywhere in the world. I have never ran from no tests. Never failed a test not once in my life.”

Beckham, who turns 33 in November, also made it clear he isn’t retiring yet.
He named a few teams he’d like to play for, including the Rams, Steelers, Chiefs and his former Giants.
“I don’t know if this is even a pitch, I’m just like I look at the L.A. Rams. Oh, look at the Steelers… The Chiefs. And you definitely gotta see me back in that blue thing right there before I get outta here. It’s my creed to those fans.”
In 2024, Beckham had nine receptions for 55 yards on 18 targets across nine games with the Dolphins.
