Guy is a head case, we have done a lot to change the culture of this team, last thing this team needs is 10 cent brain player.

This would be the only reason I would so it. If he's strictly a ST player and punt and kick returner. I don't like Lamb doing it or Pollard. Lamb or Pollard gets hurt then our team takes a blow. If we bring in DJax for return duty then I'm in.


Is the Switzer kid we traded to get Austin still in the NFL i thought he had potential

Jackson wanted out of LA, his home town, because he wasn't getting enough playing time. How much action would he get with Cooper, Lamb, Wilson, Gallup, etc.?

Hard pass. He'll go somewhere thin at WR, not as someone's 5th-string safety net.

And when OBJ gets released, I don't want him either. Again, he'd be more trouble than he's worth to this team.

Exciting player, but not a fit with this team. Too much talent at the position AND what appears to be great team chemistry, and I would not want to risk wrecking that.

Nope. Older but still has an ego. Could of stayed in LA, on a contender and possibly been a factor late in the season but wanted out.

I agree because while both may have talent I don't think their interest is in team success, it is all about their own success. Cowboys do not need that.

Jackson is a complete POS who’s been known to associate with gangsters and criminals. No thanks even if we weren’t stacked at WR.

Jackson has only had 5 kick returns his entire career, hasn't been a notable punt returner since 2010 and he would be a malcontent if told that was his primary role. Seems like potential to do more harm than good.

Two different trades. Dallas traded a draft pick to get Austin from the Rams. Switzer was traded to the Raiders for a player. Switzer has been on the Browns practice squad or injured reserve in 2020 and 2021.

DJ is getting older and isn't the threat he once was... but Odell could be very dangerous on the Rams, Bucs, or Cards. The only reason I'd get him is to keep him away from other teams.

first off none of those teams including us need wr not one of us..
trade deadline has passed OBJ wont be cut nor traded..IMO if he went anywhere it would be GB..they need a guy like him..

....Desean would commend extra safety attention. Dak would love that. If price is right, get him.
you are thinking of Desean from 5 or 6 years ago. those days have come and gone.....that's why he was released. he has had all of 8 catches in 8 games this year and that's with Stafford and Rams creative offense....

Yeah I would say don't get him then. The only role I would want him in is a ST role so Lamb and Pollard don't get hurt. If DJax wouldn't fit then I say no way.
