Cowboys news: Troy Aikman ‘would bet everything’ on this free agent signing in Dallas

If anyone knows how persuasive Jerry Jones can be with signing coveted free agents, it’s Troy Aikman. He was cheering for the team to bring Deion Sanders along in the 90s, and look how that turned out.

“I think it happens,’’ Aikman said. “If I was betting, I would bet virtually everything I have on it.”

“It,’’ of course, is the Cowboys’ desired signing of NFL free agent receiver Odell Beckham Jr., which the insights from Aikman - the Hall of Fame QB now the lead analyst on ESPN - are surely based mostly on his experience with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
