Jerry Jones, Cowboys suddenly cooling on Odell Beckham Jr. talks. Here's what it means

FRISCO, Texas — As the Dallas Cowboys hosted Odell Beckham Jr. for a visit Monday and Tuesday, two lines of thinking emerged.

Should the 9-3 team bring on a high-ceiling talent in hopes he’s the missing piece, or at bare minimum welcome receiver depth, ahead of their Super Bowl push?

Or should Dallas cut through the flash (yes, team owner Jerry Jones created plenty of it himself) to the substance, critically evaluate Beckham’s rehabilitation from a February ACL tear, and avoid the financial and medical risk in favor of allocating snaps and 2023 salary-cap space to their current roster core?
