Free agent Odell Beckham Jr. is currently exploring the league for a potential team to play for in the 2022-23 season. Recently, Billionaire and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spoke very highly of the wide receiver, as the trade deadline is nearing.
Notably, the wide receiver suffered an ACL injury during the Super Bowl earlier this year. Since then, he has not played a single game in this new season. As he is on the verge of his return from injury, many teams are reportedly trying to sign him before the trade deadline on November 1st, including Jerry Jones’ Dallas Cowboys.

It is worth noting that Buffalo Bills outside linebacker Von Miller talked about OBJ joining his team before the trade deadline. He felt pretty confident that the wide receiver will join the Bills, as he was talking to him on a weekly basis. Notably, Miller and Beckham Jr. played for the Rams last season and won the Super Bowl.
On the other hand, The Chiefs reconstructed Travis Kelce’s contract in the middle of the season to open a cap space worth more than $3 million. After this, many experts speculated OBJ was heading to the Chiefs; however, that deal is yet to take place. Meanwhile, Jones’ comments on Beckham Jr. fueled further speculation about him joining the Cowboys, as fans are urging him to come to Dallas.

One fan mapped out a whole plan to play him in a specific position before even signing him.
Do it. Make lamb a slot receiver, move Gallup to wr3 and make obj wr1. Y’all would explode offensively

Another fan said that he won’t be able to contain himself if the Cowboys sign him and win the Super Bowl with him.
It would warm my heart to see Odell win a second Super Bowl regardless of what team he is on, if he was on the Cowboys and won one?!? I wouldnt be able to contain myself 😂

Currently, the Cowboys are having a great season, as they won five games out of seven and are sitting in the third position in the NFC East division behind the Eagles and the Giants. Certainly, they have a great chance to make a long run this season, if they qualify for the playoffs. If they sign OBJ, certainly, they will increase their strength massively, especially their offensive line.
