Cowboys QB Says Season Doesn’t Depend On Recruiting Odell Beckham

The Dallas Cowboys came from behind in the second half to beat the New York Giants on Thanksgiving. 

It was an eight-point victory, but it felt like an eight-point thrashing. The Cowboys offense clicked into gear and the win felt inevitable.

Considering it was the third time in 12 days Dallas has done this, it wasn’t a talking point postgame. 

What was a big talking point was the future of Odell Beckham, who is in talks with both the Cowboys and the Giants.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been courting the free agent for a while, and met with him on Thursday. As well as that, several Dallas players have spoken publicly about recruiting Beckham.

However, in the wake of consistently deadly offensive performances, Dak Prescott says the Cowboys will be fine if Beckham doesn’t join.

“Yeah, I’m going to enjoy this bye week and maybe send a message (to Beckham) or so. But I’m confident in the guys we have as I’ve told y’all. It would help obviously having a guy like that, but we’ve got some great players in that locker room, some guys that are hungry, some guys that want to make plays. Michael Gallup getting his feet back underneath him. Noah Brown, who’s constantly reminding me his matchups, what he’s got on the other side. I’m confident in the guys that we have in this locker room.”

“Odell could definitely help us, but for me, it’s about focusing on what I can control. I’ve let it be known that he can help, but I’m not gonna sit here and continue my time. I’m focusing on what we have in this locker room and making sure I can control what I can control and we continue to get better.”
