Pros and Cons of Odell Beckham Jr. Picking Cowboys or Giants
Regardless of which team he chooses, here’s why it’s worth getting sucked back into the hype surrounding his return.

Beckham is reportedly going to choose between the Giants and the Cowboys, and will start visiting both clubs after Thanksgiving. The Giants and Cowboys meet on Thanksgiving in a game that will go a long way toward determining both the NFC playoff picture and the NFC East standings, which are hypercompetitive. He is, in other words, deciding between Door No. 1: playing for an offensive juggernaut with a top-five quarterback (Dak Prescott) and a legitimate, in-prime No. 1 receiver (CeeDee Lamb) who will hand Beckham generous amounts of single coverage, or Door No. 2: his former team, which is painfully threadbare at the receiver position—especially after Monday’s news that rookie standout Wan’Dale Robinson tore his ACL—but still shockingly contending for a top seed in the conference. Dallas, without question, is the most iconic rival of the Giants. One team needs him to function. Another team would like to have him to make a good situation even better.

I am old enough to know that an older WR is no sure thing. The Jones boys will do their thing and I will swallow the explanation if they continue to win, otherwise, I am ready to critique.

OBJ is not going to the Giants. They are officially a dumpster fire and he wants a ring. Cowboys have all the leverage here over OBJ. He can get a good game day check, work his way in slowly and not have to be the guy.

Stop making so much sense. In other words, everything you typed is accurate but let's face it...dude is mercurial. Who knows wth he's gonna do.

He can go to the Giants if he likes. There is no guarantee with his effectiveness going forward.

Yeah, I'm not overly hyped about getting him really. Like you said: he's older and coming off an ACL with no pre season games under his belt. And he can be a butt ache too. I'm OK with getting Washington back and adding him to the mix

We are in the driver's seat...I know people are saying we have holes at wr but ceedee and gallop look pretty set at 1 and 2...so he's fighting brown and Washington plus our tes...I feel pretty good about our Ariel attack

What constitutes effectiveness?

If he has enough gas left to catch a few deep balls early in his Cowboy career, maybe for a TD or two, his effectiveness will be pulling defenders away and opening lanes for the underneath stuff.

Hell, half of you guys don't think Dak can throw deep anyway.

..I dont know gents. Feels to stiff, controlled, not right, bias..etc... Getting this guy.

We're getting back Washington any week now. That will further add depth to our WR corp.

THis guy wants to finish his career somewhere. Big contract for 3-4 yrs.

Do we have that type of space? ...probably not.
