Odell Beckham Jr. is not happy about how things have gone down after this 2-day visit with the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys were at the forefront of the OBJ arrival vessel. However, injury concerns have derailed the developments at Arlington. First, it was their owner, Jerry Jones, who expressed his doubt. Now it’s the locker room.

Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence thinks that if it has to happen, it will happen and there is no need for the online shenanigans involving Odell Beckham Jr.
The Cowboys are legitimate NFC Super Bowl contenders this season and the 8-year veteran DE thinks they could do without the distractions.
“It’s fair to say I’m trying to reach a Super Bowl. So if he can come and help us with that, then yes, I’ll accept him. But if we’re just gonna do the circus, no I don’t,” 30-year-old Lawrence said. Lawrence has two Pro Bowl selections. The Dallas Cowboys drafted him in 2014 around the same time the New York Giants drafted current free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
Odell Beckham Jr. is not responsible for the circus. His injuries are!
There is no doubt that Odell Beckham Jr.’s addition to the present Cowboys roster will make them a lethal offensive threat to any opposition defense. QB Dak Prescott is having a great run with his offense, consisting of WRs, CeeDee Lamb, and Michael Gallup. RB Tony Pollard is running the ball masterfully. And Super Bowl LVI champion OBJ has the potential to take them to the Super Bowl championship after 26 years of no rings.
