Dallas Cowboys owner and general Jerry Jones has praised free agent superstar receiver Odell Beckham Jr as he nears a return to NFL action following an ACL tear in February
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has heaped praise on Odell Beckham Jr as he attempts to entice the superstar wideout to join the iconic NFC East team.
The 30-year-old is the top free agent available and, if Jones and head coach Mike McCarthy’s comments are anything to go by, the Cowboys are set to be in the mix for his signature. No visits with Beckham have been scheduled and the team is currently receiving updates on his recovery from a knee injury, but Jones is traditionally reluctant to speak on any prospective free agents due to competitive reasons.
Back in February when he was a member of the Los Angeles Rams, Beckham was well on his way to being MVP of the Super Bowl when he tore his ACL during the Rams’ win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The original hope was for the charismatic receiver to find a team in mid-November, but reports are now suggesting he will return to full health and sign with a franchise by December.
The Cowboys currently possess the 25th-best passing offence in the NFL and are yet to have a receiver break the 100-yard mark in a single game this season despite having names like Ceedee Lamb and Michael Gallup among their receiving corps. Dallas have lacked real star power after losing Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns in free agency, and the team discussed adding Houston Texans star Brandin Cooks and Denver Broncos wideout Jerry Jeudy at the trade deadline – but nothing came to fruition.
