Talks about Odell Beckham Jr.’s potential free-agent options are heating up as he nears a return to football action.
Longtime rumors have been circulating about the Dallas Cowboys as a potential landing spot for the veteran wide receiver. This possibility was raised by quarterback Dak Prescott during Thursday’s press conference.
“Anytime you have a chance to add a talent like that and knowing Odell and knowing his resume, it’s exciting,” he said, per team insider Todd Archer. “But also understand it’s a business, and I’m sure there’s 31 other teams that would like to add him as well.”

Dak isn’t the only Cowboy open for OBJ. Both CeeDee Lamb, star wide receiver, and Micah Parsons, linebacker, have pitched to free-agent wideouts.
Beckham is still healing from the ACL tear that he sustained during February’s Rams’ Super Bowl win, but should be cleared to go to the doctor this week.
Los Angeles was initially considered a top choice to sign its former wide receiver talent. However, contract negotiations between the sides failed. The Cowboys were not the only possible landing spot.
