Stars shine the brightest in Dallas, and Jerry Jones is considering adding another to the roster. After an impressive start to the new campaign, the Cowboys find themselves in the middle of the playoff hunt rush. Mike McCarthy’s squad is ranked fifth in the NFC (9-3), with little room for error in the upcoming weeks. Playoff implications are on the line, and rumors concerning Odell Beckham Jr. continue to grow louder – sending signs that No.13 will become the next superstar wide receiver in the lone star state.
Seeding in the NFC is tight, requiring franchisees to buckle down with less than four weeks left in the regular season. If the post-season began today, Dallas would earn a spot in the bracket – thanks to Cooper Rush. No.14 helped Kellen Moore’s offense put points on the board while Dak Prescott recovered from a thumb fracture against the Buccaneers. Since Prescott’s return, the Cowboys are 5-2 and are looking to add weapons for a long post-season.
Odell Beckham Jr. is a nice weapon to add for a competitive off-season
Preparing for the playoffs could result in a late free-agent signing. Speculation surrounding Odell Beckham Jr. joining America’s team is causing analysts to reevaluate their Super Bowls odds. Members of the front office gave OBJ a tour of AT&T Stadium – including courtside tickets to the Mavericks game with Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs.

No.13 is yearning to prove that he still is a difference-maker on the field. In 2021, Odell finished the season with five touchdowns and forty-four receptions. An ACL injury sidelined OBJ in the biggest game of his career. His 52 yards and touchdown reception were enough for Los Angeles to win a Super Bowl – the first of Odell’s career.
Contributions on the gridiron last season make Beckham Jr. a prime target in free agency for the upcoming playoff stretch. His playmaking ability is enough to change the outcome of a game, and who couldn’t use another X-factor on the roster?
Signing Odell Beckham could be an unnecessary risk for Cowboys
A few franchises would benefit from adding Odell to their roster but concerns regarding his health deter teams from bidding. Jerry Jones voiced his concerns about the free agent’s health with 105.3 The Fan – explaining his approach to signing the standout receiver.
"“Well, I’m not confident at all. That’s the issue. We realize that issue of health. We’ve got to have our eyes wide open and it’s going to be addressed.”Jerry Jones on 105.3 The Fan"
Signing Odell Beckham Jr. will increase Dallas’ odds of reaching the Super Bowl. We can’t deny ODJ’s impact on the gridiron, and if he lands with the right team he could win his second straight championship. Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliot are doing a great job sustaining Dallas’ rushing attack.
Adding No.13 with CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup seems like a winning recipe. Signing Beckham Jr. could change the Cowboys’ fate this season, but will Jerry Jones double down on a returning shining star?
