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.
Take a moment to have your coffee as you are a bit punchy this morning for some reason.

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.
And you know this how? You’ve seen him workout ? That’s pretty powerful considering he wouldn’t even work out for billion dollar organizations. Bills don’t wanna win? Chiefs aren’t trying to win? Both rumored for him also.

I have zero issues if you don’t want the player, I don’t even care that much about signing and would likely pass but don’t make the cowboys interest an indictment on Jerry’s will to win. We have enough real stuff to criticize jerry for

Coming off the heels of Jerry openly saying his priority is staying relevant speaks volumes about why he would enter talk into OBJ signing as he saw what attention it brought last season.

Spoiler alert ; The cowboys don’t need obj to stay relevant. We’ve been irrelevant to winning for 30 years and we dominate ratings, clicks and headlines.

Also perception is key….you here relevant from Jerry and means he’s talking only about in the news feed when it also mean relevant in terms of having a team capable of winning in the nfl

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 )

True, but we will be bidding against other teams that are also trying to add a play-maker in a weak FA market and draft class.

Anyone else tired of this Beckham story? I predict that nothing will come of it as far as the Cowboys are concerned. And that is fine with me. He missed all last season and has likely lost something since he last played AND he is not the best clubhouse teammate we are told. I think Jerry Jones drags stories about great and once great FA just to get media attention. He loves that. It feeds his ego. Every reporter that gets a chance loudly asks, "Hey, Jerry, any news on the OBJ thing?? Are you signing him?"

Jerry can drag those stories out for weeks...sometimes months...and love every minute of it. In the end though not much seems to ever come of it......

I don’t see why. I’d much rather just go after several other names. DJ Chark, Sterling Shepard, Marvin Jones etc.

Less headache, less money and not looking to make huge money.

well first off, most of these story's are not generated by the FO, jerry or any official Cowboy sources', we have always been relative, the media goes where the ratings go, Cowboys are highly rated in every game played.

BTW i believe while we have come up short in the playoffs, being a top 11 in win% since 2000, some of the best drafts that produced pro bowlers and ehemm, actually since 2016; 4 playoff appearances, 2 2nd round berths, and i believe top 5 in win%, very close losses, and too boot the last 2 seasons the DCs have won more games than any other team...

Id say that very reason we are relative... we do win games we are at least contending as the best 4-5 in the NFL nearly yearly. Heck when daks upright which is 6 of his 7 years no losing seasons 4 out of 6 years in the playoffs, speaks for itself. Aside from fan narratives, the cowboys are relative because of play on the field as well as the Americas Team Star alure.

I know fans want and expect more in the playoffs, but we are one of the best teams in the nfl more season than we are not.

these story's are generated from media first and foremost, every player cut, up for trade, or out on the market seems to always be linked to us..yet fans blame jerry.

Pass - this circus has gone on long enough. There are some FA out there that could be a good #2 to CeeDee.

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.
Chark.

Cowboys already layed the groundwork and already know what kind of deal he is looking for. Unless another team blows that offer out of the water, good chance he signs with us.

Wait till the first 5 times O'Dell thinks he's open and Dak throws to his check down or makes a poor pass.

You want to see drama? You want pressure on Dak?

I would actually like to see that just to see this "leadership" Dak is supposed to have and how he would handle that.
