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.
