Cowboys Drop Odell Beckham Jr. Hint? Free Agent WR at Trade Deadline

Will the Cowboys be making a move to bring in Odell Beckham Jr.? These new comments from Stephen Jones seem to be hinting at that possibility.

Will the Dallas Cowboys make a move to add another wide receiver before the November 1 trade deadline? Maybe … but what if it’s not exactly a trade?

Despite the "itch" and the "risk-taker" mentality of Jerry Jones, COO Stephen Jones said the Cowboys are “comfortable” at wideout.

But then Stephen added: “And then there’s some guys that don’t belong to anybody that are out there.”

There are? At receiver? Who?

Speaking with the media, following the Cowboys' 49-29 victory over the Chicago Bears, Stephen seems to have offered a hint at potentially signing Odell Beckham Jr. 

As we know from comments previously made by Jerry Jones on 105.3 The Fan, OBJ is a player that Jones "admires a lot."

We also know that Michael Irvin has revealed a “he’s interested) connection between OBJ and Dallas.

If the Cowboys do not make a move at the deadline via a trade, it could be a sign of their intentions to pursue the ultra-talented Beckham, who, while he is still a free agent, is recovering from the ACL injury he suffered in last February's Super Bowl. 

Other names that fit this criteria? Will Fuller is a free agent. So is John Ross. Antonio Brown is troubled. Cole Beasley is retired. The 49ers just had workouts with Mohamed Sanu, Adam Humphries and Tajae Sharpe. Laquon Treadwell, 27, the 6-2, 215-pounder who was a first-round draft pick 2016 NFL Draft? 

It’s a short list. But at least. It seems, the Joneses have a list.
