Cowboys: 3 2022 free agent targets about to play in Super Bowl 56

Odell Beckham Jr. starring for the Dallas Cowboys is a Jerry Jones fever dream

Let’s be real. How sure are we Jerry Jones will be able to contain himself if the Cowboys stand any semi-realistic chance of signing Odell Beckham Jr. in free agency? Doing so would be as a means to replace Michael Gallup in free agency, as well as make up for what they are not getting out of Amari Cooper. Beckham playing in the same receiving corps with CeeDee Lamb will be electrifying.

2022 will be Beckham’s age-30 season out of LSU. Though Dallas is not as big of a media market as Los Angeles or New York City, the Cowboys are the biggest brand in the league. No matter how Sunday’s game shakes out between the Bengals and Rams, there will be great intrigue over where Beckham could end up. He may return to Los Angeles, but he is very likely just a short-term rental.

His addition to the Rams has helped offset losing Robert Woods for the season. Assuming he can come back healthy, the Rams may just go back to their receiving corps being carried by Woods and Cooper Kupp, leaving Beckham in a diminished role. With his free agency stock back to good after a very trying run in Cleveland, there is reason to believe Beckham could suit up for the Cowboys.

This comes down to what he values between media market, team brand and on-field opportunity.
