Odell Beckham Jr. ‘Would Love to Sign with Cowboys’ - ESPN Report

OBJ “is a perfect personality fit. He's a massive star, the Cowboys are America's Team," says ESPN, using terrible reasoning for a big-money signing.

FRISCO - Top free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has the propaganda machine fully cranked up as he seeks on Friday to prove that he is fully recovered from the ACL tear he suffered during the Rams' Super Bowl LVI win.

He’s “100-percent healthy,” per national reports that frankly sound like echoes of what leaked out of the OBJ camp in December, when the Dallas Cowboys led the flirtation with him before backing out …

Because his claims of health were false.

Want another echo?

ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler is reporting that OBJ "would love to play in Dallas" this coming season.

"He's a perfect personality fit. He's a massive star, the Cowboys are America's Team," Fowler said on Get Up. "It makes too much sense."

We will tap the brakes on three issues here. …

1- Health. Teams will want more than just an eye test from his Friday workout in Arizona. Medicals will be a requirement.

2- The Cowboys were one of the teams that pursued Beckham as a free-agent option late in the 2022 season. … and Odell made all sorts of noise about “loving” the idea.

At the same time, he used social media, leaks and media pals to also make it clear he “loved” pretty much all of the playoff-bound teams..

Expressing “love” for a half-dozen teams isn’t “love.”

3- Fowler’s angle here is … awkward. He morphs from reporting the news to editorializing about “personality fit” and “massive stardom” and about the Cowboys being “America's Team," Fowler said on Get Up. "It makes too much sense."

In reality? Committing real money to OBJ because he’s a celebrity is a terrible. And that’s what this tryout is all about.
