Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott made his feelings on free agent Odell Beckham Jr. abundantly clear Wednesday as Dallas joins in on the wideout sweepstakes.
“We know what type of player Odell is,” Elliott said. “We know how explosive he can be and what he could be for this offense. It would be great to get him down here in Dallas. … He would definitely fit in this locker room. … We want him. We want OBJ.”
The statement comes after a week where other Cowboys personnel have expressed their interest in the three-time Pro Bowler, who is currently recovering from an ACL tear suffered in February’s Super Bowl LVI while playing for the Rams. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported Sunday that Dallas would be interested in signing the free agent, and then coach Mike McCarthy was asked Monday about the possibility of adding Beckham to his receiving corps.
