I'm told the Cowboys & Odell Beckham Jr's camp spoke Monday night in an effort to find common ground on basic terms & timing. While a window remains open to how this season unfolds, right now OBJ's zoning in on training & determining his best path -at the right value, per source.

Beckham tore his knee in the Super Bowl when he was a member of the Los Angeles Rams. He visited the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills as he works to figure out his next step.

Dallas has made no secret of its interest in Beckham, but the public is concerned about when he will return to the lineup. On December 6th, Ed Werder released this report.

Source: The #Cowboys have concerns after Odell Beckham Jr.'s physical that his recovery from torn left ACL in Super Bowl has not progressed enough to ensure he would play before mid-January and possibility exists signing him would have no benefit until 2023 season.

The reason why Beckham left Dallas without a deal in place was noted in another report.

#Cowboys owner Jerry Jones could surprise us all but getting the sense the #Cowboys are walking away from this one due to concerns about his ability to play this season. I'll explain. pic.twitter.com/8rqygL5rFA

Beckham is one of the most electric talents in the game. He's had two tornACL's and a broken ankle in the last year.

In the playoffs, Beckham had 21 catches for 288 yards and two scores for the Rams, and he has been productive when called upon.

The former Indianapolis Colts star who made four Pro Bowls in his 10 NFL seasons has joined the Dallas Cowboys. He had three touchdown catches in 13 games last year.

Jerry Jones went on The Fan to explain the significance of the Hilton signing.

Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan, he expects T.Y. Hilton to be able to help immediately after signing Monday. "He's a receiver that the defense will have to honor," Jones said. Jones wouldn't rule out possibility of Odell Beckham Jr., but said he's not ready to play right now.

The Cowboys will continue with their leading wideout trio of Noah Brown, Michael Gallup and Cee Dee Lamb, with the help of Hilton. The team will play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
