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.

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

Plus they played each other in college too.

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

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.
