It appears the Odell Beckham Jr. sweepstakes are coming to a close shortly, with a few NFL teams all in the running.
The three teams that Beckham Jr. has meetings set with are the New York Giants, Buffalo Bills, and Dallas Cowboys.
All three teams are still in playoff contention, which is the most important thing to Beckham.
But, one team makes more sense than the rest.
That is the Dallas Cowboys.
One executive on a team linked to Odell Beckham Jr. said this about the potential landing spot for the WR.
He added, "If you’re in Vegas, your 2-1 favorite is the Cowboys and everyone else is 5- or 6-1."

America’s Team needs another explosive wide receiver and Beckham fits the bill.
There are a few other reasons why the Cowboys should be OBJ’s next team.
Dome Team
Unlike the Bills and Giants, the Cowboys are a dome team.
Which is something Beckham should like coming off a major knee injury.
Playing indoors without the cold weather makes the game a lot easier, especially for wide receivers.
Even though their field is turf, so are the Giants and Bills, so that is a non-factor.
GET RID OF TURF.

Having a dome stadium for a home field seems like an ideal situation for the wide receiver.
NFC Conference
The NFC is by far the easier conference of the two, with the Cowboys on the shortlist of teams that could make the Super Bowl.
Dallas is far and away better than the Giants (who the Cowboys beat twice) and has a great quarterback in Dak Prescott.
Beckham would struggle to get the ball on the Giants, who are a run-first team.
Dallas gives OBJ the best chance to make another run at a Super Bowl.
Build His Brand
Lastly, playing for the Cowboys has always benefitted a player’s life off the field.
The Cowboys are the most popular team in sports and Beckham Jr. would thrive as a part of the team.
The 30-year-old would be able to cash in on plenty of endorsements off the field that he would not get elsewhere.
Beckham Jr. is already one of the most well-known NFL players, his status would reach new levels playing for America’s Team.

OBJ is mostly BS at this juncture and simply looking for the last guaranteed money of his career.
He said he wanted a “home” where he could “buy a house” – well he’s owned a home in LA since he played for the NY Giants.
He said that playing on turf broke his knee – signing with a turf team must guarantee his knee will break again.
OBJ was a first down and red zone guy only for the Rams – he can do no more than that for the Cowboys.
The difference between the Rams and the Cowboys is that the NFL liked the Rams and very few like Jerry Jones.
Prediction – the Cowboys will not win any Superbowls and OBJ will at most play only two years of a 4 or 5 year contract.
