Jerry Jones compares pursuing Odell Beckham to Deion Sanders

While Odell Beckham Jr. has yet to make a decision about where he will play this year, if he plays at all, one thing is certain. It seems like he is leaning toward the Dallas Cowboys.

Cowboy players and executives have been doing their best to try to pursue Beckham to come to play with them and they may just succeed.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones compares his pursuit of Beckham to when he was trying to talk Deion Sanders into coming to Dallas.

Jerry Jones on @1053thefan on Cowboys players saying they want Odell Beckham Jr: “I love it, that they have that kind of perspective.”

He said it reminds him of when he talked to Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin about signing Deion Sanders. “They said, ‘Jerry, get him!’”

Jones said he asked Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin about signing Sanders and they told him to go after him.

Now Jones says, Beckham would look good in a Cowboys uniform.

“Odell is someone that we have all the appreciation in the world for what he is as a competitor,” Jones said. “I know the Cowboys star on that helmet, when he puts it on, could look pretty good.”

This would be Beckham’s fourth team if he signs with the Cowboys. Reports say that he wants a long-term deal and doesn’t want to play in a cold climate, which may explain why the Buffalo Bills, another team reportedly interested in him, may be out of the picture.

If Jerry Jones has his way, Odell Beckham, Jr. will be a Dallas Cowboy soon.
