The Dallas Cowboys have made their fair share of boneheaded decisions over the years. That sort of comes with the territory when your owner, president, and GM are all the same man. But even Jerry Jones can't even dream of the burgeoning nightmare brewing for one of the Cowboys' division rivals.
The New York Giants are a team to watch in their first season under John Harbaugh, but Dallas still has their popcorn ready. They have seen how this story ends multiple times. But the new story that's trending might just become a new rock bottom for their division foe.
As we know, the Cowboys will kick off their season against Big Blue at MetLife Stadium, and it's no guarantee that star wideout Malik Nabers will be good to go for Week 1. And they just lost Gunner Olszewski to a torn Achilles. So not only are the Giants looking for reinforcements at the receiver position, they are also barking up the wrong tree.
The G-Men reportedly worked out a few veteran wideouts this morning, but the biggest name was franchise legend Odell Beckham Jr., who New York has rumored to be possibly reuniting with for weeks now. But unfortunately, this trip down memory lane won't exactly have the impact their fans expect.
The Dallas Cowboys should want to see Odell Beckham Jr. return to the Giants
In addition to Beckham Jr., Big Blue worked out the following players:
- JuJu Smith-Schuster
- Anthony Miller
- Braxton Berrios
They must be really desperate for a blast from the past. The three-time Pro Bowler hasn't played in an NFL game since 2024, and even when he has played, he's a shell of the player he once was. Beckham is 33 years old now, and Harbaugh connection or not, he's not the record-breaker he was in his 20s.
Odell's lengthy injury history makes signing him significantly more risky than any Giants fan will tell you, and what's the point of bringing in a depth receiver who won't offer any special teams value? And if he's not a lock to make their Week 1 roster, what's the point of basically forcing this reunion?
Once the ugly stepchild of the NFC East, always the ugly stepchild of the NFC East, it would seem. The Giants already have the Cowboys laughing at them again.
At this point, New York seems more interested in nostalgia-baiting its fanbase into believing a reunion with OBJ makes sense than actually solving its wide receiver problem. While the move would generate headlines, it feels more like a ticking time bomb than a solution.
