The Dallas Cowboys were in action on Sunday night. Even though they picked the W in their outing, owner and general manager, Jerry Jones wasn’t too happy with his team’s performance. The Cowboys pulled off a very close victory against arguably the worst team in the league this season. They beat the Houston Texans 27-23 as the Texans move to a record of 1-11-1.
Jerry Jones might hope his plans with Odell Beckham Jr. would have gone through. However, an issue with his return from injury has made the Cowboys’ owner opt out from signing the much favored free agent. With the poor result over the weekend and not being able to continue his love story with OBJ, Jerry Jones roped in another popular wide receiver.

This fan was all hyped as he thinks the Cowboys dodged a bullet in Odell Beckham Jr. He said, “I actually like him as a WR3. Odell was gonna be a risky signing tbh.”
Another fan reported some facts as they said the Cowboys were in a position they could have avoided being in. They said, “Cowboys scrambling for receiver depth. Should have never got rid of Amari Cooper.”
