The flirtation between the Dallas Cowboys and Odell Beckham Jr. has break up into the offseason. While talking to reporters on Friday, Cowboys proprietor and normal supervisor Jerry Jones was requested in regards to the continued pursuit of Beckham now that he’s a full yr faraway from tearing his ACL in Super Bowl LVI as a member of the L.A. Rams.
“He’s any individual that I’ve the identical type of curiosity that I had in him throughout the season,” Jones mentioned, through ESPN.
Jones’ newest feedback come after a 2022 season for the Cowboys that prominently featured the facet story of Beckham presumably coming aboard. The veteran receiver went on free-agent visits throughout the league that nearly mirrored a school recruitment. Of course, the Cowboys have been a kind of groups making their pitch to ink Beckham to a deal, and Jones even went on the document in mid-December, saying there was probability that “Odell’s going to hitch us.”
That by no means ended up coming to fruition as Beckham did not signal with the Cowboys or any crew for that matter. One key explanation why he could not have landed with a crew for the 2022 season may’ve been because of his restoration timeline from that torn ACL and presumably nonetheless not near one hundred pc upon arrival. After all, he did not work out for groups throughout these visits final yr.
Beckham is now a yr faraway from that tear and might signal with any crew every time he needs. Could Dallas lastly be capable to shut the deal and convey within the former All-Pro go catcher?
“I wish to let you know, do not dismiss us doing one thing particular with the appropriate veteran free agent. At anyplace, I might in a New York minute, if I believe it suits greater than a short-term scenario for us,” mentioned Jones, through The Athletic, when requested about enhancing the Cowboys roster with a big transfer.
Even at 30 years previous, Beckham will surely qualify as a “particular” signing for Dallas, giving this offense what it has been lacking. During the 2022 marketing campaign, the shortage of a top-tier receiver reverse of CeeDee Lamb was obvious, which might be a task Beckham may fill fairly properly.
