    Good Friends, Better Rivals | OBJ Is Back! + Abdul Carter Speaks Out & Cowboys OTA Updates

    OBJ is home. The New York Giants made a massive splash on June 1st, signing wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. — and they didn't stop there, also adding JuJu Smith-Schuster and Braxton Berrios all in one day. The emergency moves come in response to a wave of injuries that has hit the receiver room, with Malik Nabers (knee), Darius Slayton (sports hernia), and Gunner Olszewski (Achilles) all sidelined — and now all three veterans are signed to the veteran minimum and will be competing for roster spots through training camp. Fares and Caleb break down what each signing means for Jaxson Dart and the Giants' offense heading into 2026. Then, the drama that rocked Big Blue before the signings even happened. Abdul Carter addressed the media following OTA No. 6, speaking out about the controversy surrounding Jaxson Dart's decision to introduce President Trump at a rally — a situation that prompted Dart to open his own press conference with a prepared statement, and drew veterans like Jameis Winston to the podium as well. The guys react to everything that was said and what it means for the Giants' locker room going forward. Plus, what's going on in Dallas? The Cowboys kicked off OTAs on June 1st as they begin what they hope is a bounce-back season after back-to-back playoff misses, with George Pickens reportedly not in the building for the voluntary portion and all eyes on first-round pick Caleb Downs and the revamped defense under new coordinator Christian Parker. We've got the latest on where Dallas stands — and what they still need to figure out. All that and more on this episode of Good Friends, Better Rivals.

    Giants & Cowboys OTA Reactions + Joe Schoen Gets His Extension | Good Friends, Better Rivals

    OTAs are underway and the Giants are already dealing with bad news — Roy Robertson-Harris tears his Achilles on day one. Fares and Caleb break down the early returns from New York's first practices under John Harbaugh, including standout performances from Arvell Reese and the pass rush corps, plus what Jaxson Dart's Year 2 development looks like without Malik Nabers on the field. Then it's Big D's turn — the Cowboys don't hit the practice field until June 1, but there's still plenty to talk about heading into Brian Schottenheimer's second year, including a new defensive coordinator in Christian Parker and a roster built around Caleb Downs and CeeDee Lamb. Plus — the Giants officially extend GM Joe Schoen to a multi-year deal. Four years in, three straight losing seasons, and now locked in alongside John Harbaugh. Was this the right call? Fares and Caleb don't agree. Good Friends, Better Rivals covers the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys every week — two fans, two teams, zero filter.

    Good Friends, Better Rivals | Our Off Season Expectations for the Giants and Cowboys

    The draft is over, free agency is mostly done — so what should we actually expect from the Giants and Cowboys heading into 2026? Fares and Caleb break down the offseason moves, what they mean for both teams, and whether the hype is real or just noise. For the Giants, John Harbaugh's first offseason has been aggressive — trading Dexter Lawrence for the 10th pick, drafting Arvell Reese, Francis Mauigoa, Malachi Fields, and Colton Hood, and building around a young core that has legitimate breakout potential. For the Cowboys, it's the same old questions: can a revamped defense make up for the losses? Can Dak Prescott block out the drama? And is Dallas actually a contender, or just a brand? Fares and Caleb have answers — and they definitely don't agree on all of them.

    Good Friends, Better Rivals | Giants & Cowboys 2026 NFL Draft Breakdown

    Fares and Caleb break down the 2026 NFL Draft classes for both the Giants and Cowboys — and Big Blue might've had the best draft in the entire NFC East. John Harbaugh's first draft in New York didn't disappoint. The Giants came away with two top-10 picks — edge rusher Arvell Reese at No. 5 and OL Francis Mauigoa at No. 10 (acquired in the Dexter Lawrence trade with Cincinnati) — plus CB Colton Hood and WR Malachi Fields on Day 2. Meanwhile, Dallas went defense-heavy, trading up to No. 11 to land safety Caleb Downs, then piling on with six of their seven picks going to defenders, including edge Malachi Lawrence at No. 23. Which team won the draft? Who's the most exciting rookie to watch in 2026? Fares and Caleb have opinions — and they're not holding back.

    Where Do the Giants & Cowboys Stand After NFL Free Agency Frenzy?

    The 2026 NFL free agency frenzy is HERE, and Fares and Caleb are breaking it ALL down LIVE on Good Friends, Better Rivals! The New York Giants are pulling off the most stunning roster makeover of the offseason — new head coach John Harbaugh is raiding his old Baltimore Ravens locker room and turning Big Blue into the New York Ravens. TE Isaiah Likely is joining the Giants on a three-year deal to reunite with Harbaugh, fullback Patrick Ricard is signing on a two-year deal — because of course Harbaugh's bringing a fullback — safety Ar'Darius Washington is signing a one-year deal, and All-Pro kicker Jason Sanders and All-Pro punter Jordan Stout are both coming aboard to overhaul the special teams unit. Is this Jaxson Dart's team now? Can Harbaugh turn the Giants into an instant contender? Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys are making MOVES. Dallas traded a 2027 fourth-round pick to Green Bay for edge rusher Rashan Gary, signed RB Javonte Williams to a three-year, $24M deal, traded Osa Odighizuwa to the 49ers for a third-round pick and Solomon Thomas to the Titans, and placed the franchise tag on WR George Pickens. Are Jerry Jones and the Cowboys serious Super Bowl contenders or just making noise? We're getting into ALL of it — winners, losers, grades, and takes you won't hear anywhere else.
