Jerry Jones Confirms Cowboys Plan To Sign Odell Beckham Jr. For Playoffs, Expects ‘Deion Sanders-Type Results’

It appears that Jerry Jones and the Cowboys are ready to sign Odell Beckham Jr.

Two weeks ago, Beckham was spotted at a Mavs game with several Cowboys players, which led to rumors of his imminent signing with the team.

On Friday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spoke with the USA Today and confirmed the team is planning on signing Beckham in the next week or so. Jones says Beckham, who is recovering from an ACL injury, will be ready to contribute for the Cowboys in the playoffs but was reluctant to specify the financial details of what was offered to the star wide receiver.

“Odell’s going to join us,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told USA TODAY Sports on Thursday. “There’s a good chance he will, with the complete goal of getting ready for a playoff game or two, and then I’ll look to the future. But most of it being about now.”

Jones didn’t reveal financial details, but said he expects that the star wide receiver – coming off ACL surgery after being injured in Super Bowl 56 for the Los Angeles Rams — will be signed to a contract for the rest of this season.

The deal could become official, Jones maintained, after the Cowboys (10-3) try winning a fifth consecutive game on Sunday at the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Jones says he can get some “Deion Sanders-type results” from Odell in the playoffs.

“I’m hopeful we can get into some important games and have some Deion Sanders-type results,” Jones said. “Could this be possible to have a great player like that get in two or three playoff games and make some significant plays? I think very much so. That’s not an exaggerated thought at all.”

“The great ones, the extraordinary ones, have an ability to make a play or two in game that can be the difference in a world championship or not,” Jones said. “It’s kind of against the principles of all the practices, the repetition that you do for football. It’s against that. But the reality is, it happens. That’s been my motivation.”

NFL fans mocked Jones for comparing Odell to Deion Sanders.
