Report: Cowboys could offer Odell Beckham Jr. multi-year contract
The Dallas Cowboys are one of three teams in on Odell Beckham Jr. as the three-time Pro Bowler begins his free-agent tour with the New York Giants on Thursday.
OBJ has been linked to the Cowboys more than any other team, with Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott openly recruiting the star receiver and owner Jerry Jones not being quiet about his interest in the former first-round pick.
Though, there are certainly financial hurdles to overcome. Beckham is not going to settle for a cheap one-year contract given the market for his services. It’s not yet known whether the Giants or Buffalo Bills are willing to offer up a multi-year deal. What we now know is that Dallas could very well be willing to do just that.
CBS Sports NFL insider Josina Anderson noted on Thursday that it’s “feasible” for Dallas to offer OBJ a multi-year contract “if the numbers are reasonable.”
It was noted recently that Beckham Jr. could be demanding a deal similar to the five-year, $57 million contract Michael Gallup inked with the Dallas Cowboys this past offseason. Whether that would be out of Dallas’ price point remains to be seen. But there are a few different factors here.
First off, the Cowboys will have to think long and hard about signing No. 1 wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to a massive contract extension this coming offseason. He’s been among the most-productive young receivers in the game since entering the NFL as a first-round pick of the team back in 2020. Waiting to extend Lamb could end up costing Dallas in the long run. At the very least, it’s a component in all of this.
