The Odell Beckham Jr. sweepstakes are heating up, as the free agent wide receiver is reportedly close to being cleared for a return to action after tearing his ACL in last year’s Super Bowl. While at least a handful of teams seem to still be weighing the idea of bringing Beckham aboard, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones made clear that Dallas is firmly in pursuit.
In a Friday appearance on SiriusXM NFL radio, Jones said that the Cowboys plan to make a “compelling case” to Beckham and “see if there’s opportunity” for the franchise “to put a star on Odell’s helmet.”
“Well, first of all, we’ve always emphasized around here that player acquisition’s 365 days a year,” Jones said. “Certainly, we played against Odell most of his career when he was with the Giants, and he’s one of those guys that, he can hurt you and I know he made a bunch of big plays against us. And he’s a free agent out there and certainly a guy that you have to be looking into in terms of how he could make our team better. Obviously, what he did for the Rams last year and their Super Bowl run, it was huge and gets to the game and it looks like he’s gonna have a MVP-type performance, and then he has the unfortunate injury.
