Cowboys still interested in Odell Beckham Jr.

The Dallas Cowboys swung a major deal earlier today, acquiring wide receiver Brandin Cooks from the Houston Texans in exchange for draft picks. But does this mean that they're no longer interested in bringing board notable free agent wideout Odell Beckham Jr.? 

According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, who first reported the Cooks trade, you never know with Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones still running the show. 

"I wouldn't eliminate anything, but now that they're going to pay Cooks another, say, $12 million, along with the big salaries they already have on the books, that might take them out. Or, at least, makes it more challenging to get Odell Beckham. I know they've had interest in Beckham. He's going to command top dollar, too, though, so there's going to be teams interested and in the mix. Dallas could poke around a little bit, but I've gotten the impression they're not looking to be big spenders in free agency necessarily. If he were to fall to them with a more reasonable price, then maybe that would happen. We'll see. Dallas has pulled off bigger feats as we've seen with all of the big free agents they've signed in past years. With Jerry Jones, I'll never take it off the table. But you're going to have everyone from Buffalo, to the Jets, potentially the Chiefs—there's going to be a lot of interest in this guy."

The Cowboys have long been linked to the free agent wide receiver, and although no deal materialized last season, Jones stated that there was still mutual interest between the two sides.
