Odell Beckham Jr.’s future destination is a puzzle that is on everybody’s mind. The most coveted wide receiver in the free agency had his mind almost made up until a week ago. It looked like it was going to be the Dallas Cowboys. However, Dallas didn’t seem too sure about OBJ’s health. And now Micah Parsons has come out with a whole new angle.

Odell completed his round of visits with the Dallas Cowboys, where he met key organizational figures and also underwent physicals and medicals.
