Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys are still in full pursuit of free agent NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. following an incident at Miami International Airport over the weekend.
Jerry Jones says Beckham's"behavior is not an issue with him" when asked if the plane incident changed the team's consideration.."His overall team compatibility, his judgment, his behavior is not an issue with him. It is with many, but not with him.... He's genuine, very genuine. Very competitive, feels confident, feels good about himself. I think he breathes confidence, but yet very, very just compatible.
Jones also says he thinks Beckham Jr. would fit in really well with the team and that it's very important that he plays this year. "We think he'd fit in really good with us. We have to have him play this year. We have to have this year. It's very important -- the things we do to have him impact this year. So, this year has to be a big part of it...we've got in my mind, almost the whole show ahead of us. We've got to have a situation where we can really contribute now."
The Cowboys are reportedly a finalist to sign the three-time Pro Bowler. Beckham is scheduled to meet with the Cowboys on Monday, Dec. 5.
