Jerry Jones reveals the one stumbling Cowboys face in attempt to sign Odell Beckham Jr. - "Not confident at all"
Free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is expected to sign with an NFL team any day now, and one of the top landing spots for him is the Dallas Cowboys.
Beckham Jr. has been linked to the Cowboys, the New York Giants and Buffalo Bills as of recently.
Free-agent WR Odell Beckham spent two days with the #Giants, then had dinner with the #Bills and will now visit the #Cowboys, per @PSchrags
He's expected to pick his new team by mid-week and it should be one of those 3 teams. https://t.co/InIwxvBxmk
The Cowboys are the current favorites to land him, with very strong odds indicating that he may sign with the team.

While it seems set in stone that Odell could potentially join Dallas, owner Jerry Jones isn't too sure if OBJ will join the team. Via Mark Lane of WFAA, Jones made an appearance Monday on 105.3 The Fan, and talked about Beckham's health being a big hurdle in signing the star receiver.
Jones said:
“To make sure we cover all the things that are important to him and important to us."
He added:
“I’m not confident at all. And, so, that’s the issue. Now, we all realize that issue of health, that issue of availability is here every time. Just this one is very obvious and very pointed toward his injury that occurred last year in the Super Bowl. We got a good bead on that. We got a great read on his career. It’s not like a draft pick coming at you.
"You got a lot of history here and you can take a good look at, not only the obvious and that’s his performance, but also any issues regarding health. So, all of this we got to come in with our eyes wide open and it has to be addressed, and that’s when you can see if you can make a deal or not.”

OBJ is expected to make a decision on who he will sign with this week.
If Jones is too concerned about his health, then that could narrow his choices down to Buffalo and New York.
Time will tell, and the OBJ wait game is almost over as we will soon know who he will join.
