DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - The Dallas Cowboys have signed free agent wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, hoping to add an extra dimension to their offense as the playoffs approach.
So with that, it would appear that the team's pursuit of Odell Beckham Jr. has come to an end... right?
Well, according to a report from NFL insider Josina Anderson, that is not necessarily the case, and the Cowboys still in 'ongoing' talks with Beckham.
"At the moment I'm told, the Cowboys feel unsure of how long the tail-end of Odell Beckham Jr's current rehab will specifically take, thus the T.Y. Hilton move today," Anderson Tweeted. "Was also just told-as of this tweet-Jerry Jones & Odell Beckham's camp are "still talking." Talks are "ongoing."

The obvious concern with the potential Beckham signing in the first place was his ability to be available during the regular season.
Beckham, of course, has refuted those concerns publicly.
Eitherway, with the signing of Hilton, those concerns are no longer relevant.
But, if the Cowboys are still considering Beckham, and he could indeed still be added to the roster, and be ready to go by playoff time, the Cowboys offense could conceivably take another giant step forward.
