Cowboys don't think Beckham has recovered yet

Source: The #Cowboys have concerns after Odell Beckham Jr.’s physical that his recovery from torn left ACL in Super Bowl has not progressed enough to ensure he would play before mid-January and possibility exists signing him would have no benefit until 2023 season.
Meanwhile, OBJ is still telling Josina

I'm told Odell Beckham Jr is still on his visit with the #Cowboys, per league source.

Separately, sources close to Beckham Jr. tell me he feels able to contribute to the playoffs this season, especially after getting in with a team & acclimating consistently over several weeks.
is it true he didn't want to even work out?

Not sure how you get a contract and expect a team to pay you this year.

Smart move by the Cowboys.
Sounds like he has narrowed down to Bills and Cowboys

if he is going to help in playoffs....

The journey to a Super Bowl ring is as important as winning it.

The self gratification amongst the team for going through the ups and the downs is what makes it so special.

I can’t imagine popping in as a “piece”or for one year has the same feeling without the prior failures.
Of course guys do get traded at the deadline  
bceagle05 : 12/6/2022 3:48 pm : link
but dropping in for a couple of playoff games is something different.
Dallas has a good thing going...

I like their WRs. Adding Beckham does nothing to improve the team other than create more buzz for Jerry. Which I'm sure loves, as well as many of their dumb fans who love style...

If there's truth to this  
Dnew15 : 12/6/2022 4:22 pm : link
and there's truth to the rumor that OBJ is looking for a multi-year deal...

The Giants have to pass.
Makes you wonder  
mittenedman : 12/6/2022 4:25 pm : link
why he isn't just waiting until next year's free agency to come back. He'd probably get more $$$ if he could work out and prove he was healthy.
Odell and his agent have played this well..  
wma31 : 12/6/2022 4:26 pm : link
Ramp up all this talk and make it seem like he can help. The reality is he’s looking at a big contract and that would be with next season in mind. He can push the whole playoff help stuff, but none of that will likely really help a playoff contender.
Spin City  
GiantsRage2007 : 12/6/2022 4:33 pm : link
Whose spin do you believe?

Obj? Cowboys?
I thought he was working out on his own  
George from CT : 12/6/2022 4:33 pm : link
Training and almost in game shape, They’re saying Mid Jan?
I would just drive the price up for the cowboys and pass.
Even though he might be older and wiser, he’s still a distraction.
On top of that he’s not the same explosive player he was before all these injuries.
Harsh reality  
Breeze_94 : 12/6/2022 5:53 pm : link
Cowboys rolling out the red carpet and courting Odell, then leaking this to crash his market.

Odell is looking for a long term home to finish his career. The Cowboys are looking for a final piece to help them this year.

I feel that the Giants are the best decision for Odell- he comes home to a fan base and org that has an adoration for him. A team that is looking for long term help at WR- not just a lift for the next 2 months. Whether Odell and his agent feel the same - idk.
no shit

it's his second major knee injury in three years.
Who likes getting their face  
Spiciest Memelord : 12/6/2022 6:01 pm : link
in front of the camera more, Jones or Beckham?
possible the Cowboys leaked this

As an aside, I'd be floored if the NFC Champion isn't either the Eagles or Cowboys.

Excuse me while I go vomit.
Is Beckham’s Knee Recovered Enough Yet  
Trainmaster : 12/6/2022 6:45 pm : link
To do the dog urinating on the football stunt?

It’s a key park of who he is. A perfect Cowboy.

That's silly.

According to reports there are 3 teams in the bidding (Giants, Cowboys and Bills).

If OBJ is making his decision at least in part based on money and there are 3 teams bidding... how does one team suggesting that OBJ has not yet recovered impact the bids of the other 2 teams?

All 3 teams will do their own physicals of OBJ and if they are all still interested, the bids from all 3 teams will determine his market value.
I think it totally makes sense that he won't contribute much  
PatersonPlank : 12/6/2022 7:23 pm : link
this season. Look at the return schedules for other players who tore ACLs. Any team that signs him is looking at him primarily for next season IMO. So if Buff or Dal really want him to help in this years playoffs I could see them passing on him.

I know, it’s gross to think about

HOWEVER, who say the Bengals as the AFC Champ this time last year?
Why else would Beckham  
Gman11 : 12/6/2022 7:31 pm : link
refuse to work out for these teams? For the money he's reportedly asking, they need to know if he can play or not. The biggest problem is Beckham still thinks he's the same player the Giants drafted. He's not even close to that any more.
Maybe  
Bruner4329 : 12/6/2022 8:14 pm : link
This is JJ's way of softening fact OBJ is not signing with Dallas.

The fact that you’re obviously still upset about that tells us much more about you than it does him. Fraud.

Say what you want, but OBJ isn't stupid. He knows he can't do the things he used to do. But he knows he can still help a team, and he'll sell a lot of jerseys, and fans will be talking about him long after he hangs up his cleats.
the fact he's not  
Rory : 12/6/2022 8:57 pm : link
participating in any physical or workouts should clue everyone in that he's still months away.

Its December.
Mixed reporting  
larryflower37 : 12/6/2022 9:14 pm : link
Some reports are he is more focused on next season and working back in to football shape.
Crazy he goes to the Giants and the Bills and crickets. Goes to Dallas and it's a shit show of leaks and mixed reporting.

Really liked SF with a healthy Jimmy G, also "like" Dallas b/c the defense is incredibly stout.

I think both defenses pose problems for Hurts who I am not sold on until I see him perform in the playoffs.
Shocking that the Cowboys seem to be making an intelligent decision  
Matt M. : 12/6/2022 11:16 pm : link
Did he even work out for the Giants?
Like others have said I don’t see an advantage to leaking this  
rasbutant : 12/7/2022 1:26 am : link
Other than to temper fan’s expectations! Any fan base that he signs with to this point thinks he is coming in and making a difference this year. This leak let’s the ESPN followers know not to expect that.

They have been saying for a while that he is looking for a multi year deal and a place to call home. But a lot of people haven’t been hearing it and still think he is a good 1yr deal candidate. This report puts an end to that. I think.
Giants seem like the perfect landing spot...

mdthedream : 12/7/2022 9:00 am : link
it needs to be for more than 1 season if the Giants take him. It is about next year and if he will be ready to go. Giants need a #1 wr on this team. Now of course it also depends oon what he is looking for in contract. How much is he looking to make? He has to know there is a risk in signing him.
