As we near the end of the free agency tour for veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., some reports are conflicting but, overall, we’re getting a clear picture of what the next few days will hold. After two visits up in the New York area, Beckham will head to the Lone Star State before making a decision, as expected.
A couple of days ago, a report came out claiming a “source familiar with (Beckham’s) plans” said the 30-year-old might be adding visits to his schedule following the three known destinations. That report, from Ralph Vacchiano of FOX Sports, is contradicted by more recent reports concerning the plans for his decision. It was reported this morning that Beckham plans to return home after his visit with the Cowboys to “discuss his future with his family,” according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Beckham has had two visits already, spending two days with the Giants before heading straight up to Buffalo. Beckham is expected to head to Dallas on Monday. He’ll meet with the team during the day before being accompanied to the Dallas Mavericks game against the Phoenix Suns on Monday night, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. After his night at the basketball game, Beckham is scheduled to meet with Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and the team’s leadership group on Tuesday.
Rapoport’s report on the matter divulges that Beckham intends to make his decision by the middle of the week after the discussion with his family. That leaves a tight window after his reported itinerary with the Cowboys, provided by Machota, but doesn’t necessarily conflict with it. If that’s the plan, it means Beckham will likely head home on Tuesday after meeting with Prescott and the Cowboys. If mid-week is considered Tuesday to Thursday, that gives Beckham the rest of Tuesday and Wednesday to have his discussions before announcing Thursday at the latest.
Right now, the Cowboys are the reported favorite to land the recovering receiver. It still is not entirely clear what Beckham’s recovery timeline will be, which has been a main focus in his visits so far. Each candidate only has five regular season games remaining on the schedule, but Beckham made a point of choosing suitors who would continue playing when the regular season is over. There’s still a hope that we will see Beckham arrive just in time to make a run in the postseason, much like he did with the Rams last year.
he’s going to Dallas. it’s all a game to him,he knows he’s gonna sign in Dallas. he just want his ego rubbed.
Yeah, it has to be his ego, if it was anything else he wanted rubbed he likely would have made a pit stop and got a recommendation from Watson in Cleveland..
The seasons gonna be over by the time he makes a decision. All this for a guy with blown out knees.
These paid ads are annoying.
There’s a way around that.
Always a way to have no ads.
If his receptions total equals his updates total he’ll be on track to be MVP.
just go away already. another egomaniac who thinks the world revolves around him.
The Cowboys have the favor of getting the calls of one of the most obvious rigged games ever televised on tonight against the Colts. OBJ would have a good chance to go all the with this fixed wwe product.
Lol the team looses by more than 30 and your calling it rigged? Maybe the Colts are a bad team being coached by a ESPN correspondent? That could be it.
colts are a bad team but they’re actually playing better under the “ESPN correspondent” then the head coach they had. definitely not it… lol
The cowboys getting the calls lol. The Cowboys are the most penalized team in league 2-3 years running…. Get the facts straight….
The fact is yes they are the most penalized team on the calls that are made…..how about the numerous calls not made in crunch time against them or against the other team that just happens to favor them……OLine, Diggs and the rest of the Secondary….no sour grapes, but in critical situations they seem to always get the calls.
Just. Not. True.
Years ago I had a season ticket holding father-in-law who swore the head umpire at Giants games was biased against Big Blue. I tried to tell him that just because he was announcing penalties didn’t mean he was calling them.
Yes indeed, sour grapes.
or let’s not post anymore stories about him until he signs. not a single story has new information…
If I’m the Cowboys I start looking at OBJ as more of a distraction then an asset…
Probably isn’t going to help them head to head against the Eagles who look like the class of at least the East.
What? Philly is the best team in the NFC lol
I dont know why dallas would risk anything with him. They have a decent 1-2-3 wr. Obj seems like a better fit with the chiefs where he’d improve their starters.
Dude wants to wait to see who has the best chance of making the playoffs before he signs. Pick a team and go play already. Sick of this making headlines already.
No one cares. If your team believes OBJ will put you over the hump and into the Super Bowl, his bad knees say otherwise. He hasn’t played football since last Super Bowl, it will take him a few weeks to get into football shape even if his knee is healthy enough.
If he signs with the cowboys I’ll be truly hurt being a Giants fan for life and that’s where he started and let’s not forget the famous catch against those cowboys so any team but them
