Looks like Jerry is going to have competition for his service. Please know, he's following the money regardless of what he says.

FYI......Spotrac puts his market value at $13.1M. Interesting coz at one point last season, it was in the $5-6M range. If the $13M is correct........I'm out. Besides, I was strongly leaning toward Mike Evans anyway. Just think with Mike, you are not getting just a WRs, but a player.

Giants Likely To Resume Odell Beckham Jr. Pursuit, Eye First-Round WR Pick

February 26th, 2023 at 9:39am CST by Sam Robinson


Assuming Beckham has used the past few months to move closer to 100%, or around 80% of the version he was prior to his second ACL tear, Hughes expects the Giants to be in the mix until the end for a reunion. Beckham, 30, has expressed steady interest in his former team, as tweets during last season’s surprise playoff journey most recently showed, but he may not have the same interest if the Giants move on from both Sterling Shepard and Saquon Barkley. The two skill-position holdovers from Beckham’s Giants stay are free agency-bound, though the team has shown steady interest in keeping Barkley — so long as such a pursuit does not involve letting Daniel Jones walk.

The Cowboys and Rams are also expected to revisit a Beckham push. Considering this year’s underwhelming market, it will be interesting to see where teams will go to add OBJ. The eight-year veteran was last seen playing a major role in the Rams’ Super Bowl LVI win, but his second ACL tear crushed his 2022 market. He will join the likes of JuJu Smith-Schuster, Jakobi Meyers, Allen Lazard, DJ Chark and others on this year’s

@GiantsVidal1027: What’s the Giants’ current interest in Odell Beckham since they have a head start on most teams due to the visit they had?

HUGHES: It was smart for the Giants to do what they tried to do with Beckham. They had no real belief he’d play in 2022. The thought was that they could give him some guaranteed money now, then have him rehab and train with their medical staff, to return in 2023. Beckham basically wanted to be paid like he’s already 100 percent and will be the player he was pre-injury.

I think you’ll see the Giants explore that one again this offseason. Beckham should be able to work out for teams by March. If he shows he’s even 80 percent of the player he was he’ll have much more than the Giants, Cowboys and Bills interested in signing him. I’d expect the Giants to be in that one until the end. Granted, Beckham’s interest in returning to New York might be a bit more lukewarm if the Giants let Barkley and Sterling Shepard, his two close friends, walk.

Yeh, pass.

Dunno what the player is after the 2nd ACL. Gallup underwhelmed and may be back to pre injury, who knows. Certainly don't double down on 2 potential gimpy WRs coming off the same injury.

I'd be keen to look at Mike Evans.

This right here tells you it's not about actually winning for Jerry but rather the headlines. OBJ is no longer what he was and more than anything he is full of drama.
So it is not about winning if Jerry is interested, but yet to say nothing about the Rams or Giants ownership?

And no I am not interested in OBJ coming here.

Last I checked this was a Cowboys forum so why would I care what the Rams or Giants management is doing? Last I checked too both the Rams and Giants have won multiple Super Bowl since the last time Dallas was in one so there's that too.

Jerry has made it very clear where his interests lie, and yet you question someone who says Jerry would only sign OBJ to stir up talk in the media. If you want to defend Jerry that's fine - you have the right to your own opinions. But others should be able to have theirs as well without being blasted for voicing them.

I do agree with the last part. I have no interest in signing a player who is only after a pay day. We already have enough of that on the current roster.

Rams are in full strip down rebuild mode. Adding OBJ makes no sense there.
Pretty sure they are hoping for a discount....... Also, don't rule out the Bills, they just hired Adam Henry as their WR coach. He and OBJ are very close, not to mention Vonn Miller.

I was not blasting anyone for voicing their opinion, is that what you are doing to me now?
He made a comment about Jerry, and I asked why does it not apply to the others. And I am not defending Jerry at all. But if you must interpret it that way, go ahead.

You made a comment about Jerry, and applied the OP to him, but not others, that is kind of Cherry picking. And it is also about going into 2023 season. Not about past history.
So I just ask a simple question. Any other time you don't use the excuse...it is a Cowboys forum, so why would you comment about the other teams. You do at other times.

What blows is that this is a weak year for FA WRs and there are only a few truly slam-dunk WRs in the draft - that will likely be long gone by the time we pick, so we are going to have to pay big-time to add a difference-making #2.

The worst part of all this, is that we had a difference-making #2/#1 WR - and we gave him away for a 5th!!! Ugh. I wish there was another Jerry in the league so our Jerry could take advantage of him.

Maybe Jerry can steal McLaurin from Snyder. :laugh:

If the 3 QB's they had and Wentz, can get him the ball, then Dak can also. :muttley:

I think they are good at WR with Lamb, Gallup, Brown, Tolbert and the TEs. To improve the offense id like to see them invest in the OL and draft a couple new RBs. Go back to running the ball and playing defense. Dak still has plenty of weapons.

This is true but there are a few decent WRs currently on teams that be released or avail via trade ( Evans, Thomas ( Saints ), Allen, Cook )
