Cowboys were on Beckham's short list of trade destinations

[Risen Star]

Few fanbases around the league were happier than Cowboys Nation to hear about the blockbuster trade between the Giants and Browns on Tuesday night. Seeing a division rival’s roster weaken is nice; knowing the team will no longer have to line up against a thorn-in-the-side nemesis twice a season is a considerable bonus.

But lost in the fallout of Cleveland’s surprise acquisition of Giants’ wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. was a nugget of info that possibly sent shivers down the spines of the Cowboys faithful. Beckham considered Dallas among his preferred destinations.



There are zero indications the Cowboys ever even entertained the notion of working a deal for Beckham, or that the Giants would ever trade him within their division so he’d face them twice a season.

The imagined look on Eli Manning’s face at a Prescott-to-Beckham touchdown to beat New York aside, it’s safe to say a sizable contingent of Cowboys fans would have flat-out revolted (at least at first) if the mercurial wideout had been brought to Dallas.

The Giants would've never traded him to Dallas.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Why would he want to play with this trash qb?

Little harsh Willie,, ODB would have made Dak a Superstar, over night.
Drama, drama, and more drama, but ODB would have made Dak.

 

[Carson]

Why would he want to play with this trash qb?

Apparently they are good friends

 

[Sydla]

He figured this circus was missing a ring leader.

 

[LifetimeBoysFan]

Why would he want to play with this trash qb?

Because he already was playing with one in NY and was producing big numbers there too I guess.

Probably knows more about football than you do to be fair

 

[Denim Chicken]

The Giants would've never traded him to Dallas.

Especially since we already traded our #1 for a receiver.

 

[CATCH17]

Probably knows more about football than you do to be fair

Or the stage meant more to him then who was throwing him the ball which is the likely case.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Sounds a lot like Dez wanting to get back at his former team being traded in the division thank the NFL gods it didn't happen... those kicking nets are expensive

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Dak and Odell are both Louisiana boys. Makes sense why they're probably close.

Plus they played each other in college too.

 

[Teague31]

Fantasy land.

 

[Risen Star]

Next year's 1, this year's 3 and Jeff Heath could have gotten it done.

Another missed opportunity.

If those are the mental gymnastics you want to play to justify not giving Dak credit then by all means

 

[mattjames2010]

Who cares?

 

[John813]

Would of been funny had Cleveland then flipped him to Dallas in a hypothetical world.

 

[CATCH17]

If those are the mental gymnastics you want to play to justify not giving Dak credit then by all means

You really think that is mental gymnastics? lol

So if Dak was up in Cincinnati you think Odell would want to go there because Dak is there? Come on.

He is a prima donna and would love to be on the biggest stage the NFL has to offer. Pretty simple to connect the dots.

 

[Creeper]

So now the question is, who would we rather have, Cooper, AB or OBJ?

I guess he doesn’t think he’s so trash lol. I know that burns your soul.
