Odell Beckham Jr has been looking to make his comeback after suffering an ACL tear in Super Bowl LVI. Many teams like the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys, and the New York Giants were interested in acquiring the Super Bowl-winning champ. Even though, after making trips to three places (Dallas, New York, and Buffalo), OBJ could not secure any deals. But he later revealed what he desired in the future this season.
The former Rams WR appeared on Thursday Night Football’s The Show. There he spoke about what his future would look like in the league this season.

“I haven’t made a decision, and for me, I would like to be in a stable environment, get up at 6 a.m., leave at 6 p.m. for four weeks, and then let’s talk about it,” Beckham said. “I’ve played football for a long time. I’m not saying that I couldn’t step in and play regular season, but I don’t see the point. I really don’t. I would rather play when the pressure is on.” Fans were not happy with the explanation the 30-year-old gave.
Fans criticize Odell Beckham Jr.
Many Twitter users were of the opinion that playing postseason offers a chance for athletes to form chemistry with their teammates. Because the WR wanted the opposite, many fans spoke their mind.
So he thinks he's just going to plug into an offense during the most important time of the season with no chemistry?

This fan said:
Dudes way too full of himself. Wants everyone else to put the work in, and then come in and take another dudes spot

Another user did not like OBJ’s plan, thus, commented:
So he just wants to play the big games and not be a part of the journey to get there? All the teams in playoff contention did it without him so where is the motivation to sign him? Dude's a joke

This fan does not think Beckham is the best WR in the NFL.

It is beneficial for a player to learn about the play calling of a team. Also, it helps in getting one’s body more acclimated for the heightened moments in the playoffs. However, because Odell Beckham Jr.’s injury is quite recent, the Dallas Cowboys are facing problems in coming to a decision.

Why aren’t the Cowboys making a move?
Jones would be happy to have Beckham join his club, but Dallas needs to pay close attention to his health, which is still a serious concern. On 105.3 The Fan, the millionaire talked about the athlete.
He did not represent them when he went to see the Giants and the Buffalo Bills. Similar to how it wasn’t the case while he was in Dallas. His recent injury is the cause, after all.

Jerry Jones had little trust in the accord during the radio interview. “I’m not at all confident,” he declared. “And, so, that’s the issue. Now, we all realize that issue of health, that issue of availability is here every time.
