As Odell Beckham Jr. gets closer to the end of his rehab from a torn ACL,  the free agent has a choice to make.

The New York Giants, Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers are among interested landing spots for the free agent, but the Dallas Cowboys could be a frontrunner.

This week, Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones said on his radio show, 105.3 The Fan, ”Odell is someone that we have all the appreciation in the world for what he is as a competitor and know that the Cowboys star on that helmet when he puts it on could look pretty good.”

Beckham, who has spent a good nine months recovering from a torn ACL, is expected to be medically cleared sometime soon.

McCarthy “always been a huge fan” of Beckham

Head coach Mike McCarthy also told reporters Monday that he has “always been a huge fan” of Beckham Jr.” even though his team does “really love our receiver group.”

“All the guys that I’ve worked with – with the NY Giants and the Cleveland Browns – everybody has nothing but great things to say about him. Obviously, I’ve always been so impressed with his football-playing ability. But I’ve heard so many excellent things about him over the years. I think those are conversations for the future.”

Where Beckham wants to go

During an interview, Beckham shared his thoughts on what his next steps might be: “Whether it’s Buffalo, Green Bay calling, the Cowboys, a reunion with the Giants,” Beckham said, “I want to be able to spill my last — I’m not saying I’ve only got three or four (years) left — but these next three or four (years) into (a place) where I can buy a home. Like, I can call this place home.”

Beckham was signed by the Los Angeles Rams midway through the 2021 season, after a stint with the Cleveland Browns. He went on to win Super Bowl LVI with the Rams.
