“Without Odell, [the Cowboys Will] Win a Super Bowl…”: Dallas Legend Michael Irvin Makes Big Claims on Odell Beckham Jr. Trade

Published 11/26/2022, 6:30 AM EST

The Dallas Cowboys have a definite hold on the NFC East after their win on Thursday against the NY Giants. The Cowboys dominated the second half against their bitter divisional rivals on Thanksgiving football. However, former Cowboys legend Michael Irvin thinks Dallas is not ready to be a dynasty yet. Not without Odell Beckham Jr.

Michael Irvin and Stephen A. got into a jovial yet heated discussion on First Take on ESPN. And Stephen A disagreed with a lot of things Irvin said. And one of those things concerned former Rams wide receiver OBJ.

According to former Cowboys WR and Super Bowl winner Michael Irvin, Dallas may be ready to win a championship this year, but not good enough to dominate this decade without OBJ. “Without Odell, we gonna win the Super Bowl. With Odell, we can be another dynasty,” Irvin said. Odell Beckham has been a free agent after his Los Angeles Rams tenure ended with a Super Bowl championship.

Sports analyst and announcer Stephen A didn’t agree with the three-time Super Bowl champion. He thinks OBJ is not capable of championship-level football after his injury at Super Bowl LVI. Odell hasn’t had a 1000-yard receiving season since 2019.

Can Odell Beckham Jr make a difference at Dallas?

The Dallas Cowboys have a strong enough roster to take them to the promised land. QB Dak Prescott has bounced back after missing a few games due to a thumb injury. RB Tony Pollard and Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb are also having Super Bowl-worthy seasons. However, Odell Beckham Jr’s inclusion will create the perfect receiving threat alongside Lamb and Michael Gallup and will fill the gap left by Amari Cooper.

Odell Beckham Jr has narrowed his options down to two franchises; the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants. The Giants have an edge as Odell will get the long-term contract he needs. However, Dallas looks like the place to go if he wants that second Super Bowl ring and form a dynasty like Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, and Emmitt Smith.
