Whether he is or not, he's looking for hus best chance at a ring. If you were him, is this the team you'd choose?

He's not coming here, and if he does it will be at a premium price tag.

I dont get this fascination with OBJ

1- he hasnt had a good year since 2018 or 4 years ago
2-he wants 20m a year. If Jerry does pay it the Cooper questions and comparison (that Cooper will win) will start immediately
3-hes coming off an injury- he wont start right away (mid Dec earliest) and will be rusty if not out of football shape
4- he has no chemistry yet with Dak, the OC will take a few games to see how to use him, and he has to learn the playbook which takes at least a few games or till seasons end

I also dont think he will want come here. We havent won anything in 26 years, have a poor OC, and are in 3rd place in a 4 team division.

The answer is...... depends on which version of OBJ is showing up. Yes, the team needs some smarter wrs who can look at a defense and know how to run their route. We had that Amari Cooper. Giving Amari away for nothing and not replacing him with an equivalent talent is looking like a really really bad decision right now. OBJ wants 20M. Sound familiar?

I really want to like Dak, but do you really think his missing piece is OBJ? Can it hurt, yes. Dak stares down the barrel of this throws, and having a new target will of course entice him to stare further

Another consideration is, can you imagine KM with another shiny toy?......we want/need to run the ball, not try and throw. Argument can be made that we lost the GB game in the 4th when we moved away from the run and Dak went just 2/6.

CeeDee needs some help. He played great but Gallup and Noah Brown played badly yesterday. Is OBJ the answer?

So what from watching Gallup's return from the same injury makes us think that OBJ will be any different??

Be serious now and think about it. Does anyone think the Cowboys are going to sign a high priced FA?

This team needs to focus on the interior line in the off season. The run D is a real problem.

I’ve been saying he is since day one. Don’t think it will happen though.

NDamukong Suh is a necessity now. This defense can not stop the run and every NFL team knows it.

Plus your GM is dumb, Head Coach is dumber, and the organization is in fantasyland thinking they have a franchise QB that can throw them to a win.

Don't need Beckham, just a run stuffing DT, a legit FB and a OC willing to run more than pass.

Don't need Beckham, but definitely could use some speed at WR. Maybe that Calllaway guy will give us something.
But I'd rather have that run stuffing DT. Seems like Hankins only had the one decent game in him. Can't stop the run and everyone knows it.
