The Dallas Cowboys have been cheekily baiting fans with a potential decision to bring in a wide receiver. And not just any receiver, but the hottest property on the free agent market, Odell Beckham Jr. Are the positive comments and Twitter banter all a part of a larger scheme to bring this talented veteran on board? Fans can’t help but be on pins and needles while anticipating this news.

OBJ has been looking for a team to call home for the season. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones publicly declared his admiration for the WR alongside head coach Mike McCarthy. To top it all, Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons openly recruited the Super Bowl champ on Twitter. Parsons asked Beckham to talk to him while posting a picture of the wide receiver in a Cowboys jersey. This isn’t Parson’s first rodeo. The LB had previously tried to bring Von Miller to the Cowboys but he went to the Buffalo Bills.
Winter is coming. Where is Odell Beckham Jr. going?

He said, “Its my understanding that Odell Beckham prefers not to play in a cold weather city. He will for the right deal. But he prefers to be somewhere warm, especially coming off this ACL. The ball is in the Cowboys court”
Who knew that the weather could have a say in OBJ’s decision? Fans online reacted to Hill’s tweet with their thoughts on the matter.
One user thinks 90s Jerry would’ve gotten it done
90's Jerry would get it done. Now a days they are more interested in winning negotiations and trying to sell players on the idea of "playing for the Cowboys ". But I keep hearing Odell likes to be wooo'd. So is he gonna buy into the Cowboy bling Jerry trying to sell?

Another fan does not feel optimistic
Can’t wait to hear about how we were “close” to a deal but couldn’t agree. I have no hopes in this getting done. 🤷🏼♂️

Dallas will take on a struggling Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in their next game. OBJ on the Cowboys’ offense would certainly be a bonus. The team is currently at 6-2. They are ranked behind the mighty Philadelphia Eagles in a competitive NFC East. Will fans get to see the coveted OBJ with a star on his helmet any time soon? That is to be seen.
