Cowboys finally signed a veteran WR for their Super Bowl push (no, it’s not Odell Beckham Jr.)

The Cowboys have seemingly taken themselves out of the OBJ sweepstakes.

The 10-3 Dallas Cowboys have made a splashy receiver signing ahead of what the team hopes to be a deep playoff run, adding a veteran wideout with multiple Pro Bowl appearances in his career.

But it wasn’t the receiver many expected.

On Monday afternoon, the Cowboys announced the signing of longtime former Indianapolis Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton. The 33-year-old — who went unsigned during the offseason and throughout most of the regular season after his contract expired in Indianapolis last year — has made four Pro Bowl appearances in his career and led the NFL in receiving yards in 2016.

This all but guarantees that Dallas won’t be signing Odell Beckham Jr., after all. The veteran star also hasn’t played since 2021, when he won a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams, but it looked like he could be heading to the Lone Star State after a visit last week.

However, things seemed to fizzle out after Beckham underwent a physical that reportedly left the team with concerns that he hadn’t recovered enough from a torn ACL in the Super Bowl win enough to play this season.

With the Cowboys essentially publicly taking themselves out of the OBJ sweepstakes, fans — many of whom expected him to join Dallas’ roster — were surprised.
