«I had a very impressive conversation with the most important of all this proposition, his mother,» Jones told Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. «It was really easy for me to see where Odell [Beckham] has many of its advantages. She was very impressive. You can see where she gets a lot of the stuff that she has.»
The Cowboys could certainly use another wide receiver next season. But it’s unclear if Dallas is serious about signing Beckham. In December, Jones said there was no point in signing Beckham at the moment, but he left the door open for the future.
«It’s not realistic to think about having him in a significant way for the playoffs. Now, that doesn’t rule out the future,» Jones said via The Athletic.
Beckham last played the rams in 2021 before landing awkwardly during the 2022 Super Bowl. He caught three passes for 52 yards and a touchdown in the game before the injury.
In his eight regular season games in Los Angeles during the 2021-22 season, Beckham had 27 catches for 305 yards and five touchdowns.
