The Dallas Cowboys have been in the market for a wide receiver for a while now.
After they traded Amari Cooper away last offseason, the team became pretty thin at the position behind CeeDee Lamb.
Michael Gallup wasn’t able to step up for the Cowboys last season, leading them to sign TY Hilton in the middle of the year.
Now they’ll head into the offseason searching for some reinforcements at the position.
It looks like they could turn to a familiar name to join their roster.
Jerry Jones told Dallas Cowboys reporter Todd Archer that he is still interested in Odell Beckham Jr after considering signing him during the 2022 season.
Odell Beckham is eligible to be signed now and Jerry Jones said he has had indirect contact with the wide receiver and has spoken with Beckham's mother. "He’s somebody that I have the same kind of interest that I had in him during the season."

Odell Beckham Jr is in a much better situation right now than he was throughout the NFL offseason.
While there were plenty of rumors about Odell ending up with the Buffalo Bills, New York Giants, Los Angeles Rams, or Dallas Cowboys, there was one big thing that was holding him back from actually being signed.
Nobody really knew when he would be available to play.
Now there won’t be any questions about that as he’s now had more than a year to recover from the ACL tear he suffered in last year’s Super Bowl.
Now the question becomes what Odell Beckham Jr is as a player at this point in his career. He has suffered multiple major lower body injuries throughout his NFL career and is now 30 years old.
He was looking for a long-term commitment last year and is likely still looking for that now. He might not get that with the questions about what he has left, but he will definitely be able to secure himself a contract somewhere.
It could be the Dallas Cowboys, who could use another dependable pass catcher.
The market for Odell Beckham Jr will be interesting to see this offseason.
