[reddyuta]

wow,the eagles are going all in with this crazy free agency push.

[miamicowboy21]

this is getting worse and worse.

[jobberone]

Ok, I'm starting to get pissed here.

[Everlastingxxx]

Eagles are going all in. Wow.

The Dallas Browns here we come. lol

[Woods]

Didn't the Skins pay about the same for Bowen?

[TheFinisher]

you've got to be kidding me

[jblaze2004]

eagles making moves while we sit on our hands.

[Doomsday]

Come on we sign Spears and Coleman for $4 million a season but wont pay $5 million a year for Jenkins? I dont get it. They better land a FS or I am not renewing my Sunday Ticket this season.

[BraveHeartFan]

Wow. Eagles are making their push to go get it done now.

Can't fault them at all for what they're doing.

[MonsterD]

wow,ok

[BlueStar3398]

:banghead:

[reddyuta]

there is no way we would have that deal,$25 mil for a often injured DE is too much.

[tomson75]

Here comes freak out #2!

[jblaze2004]

Didn't the Skins pay about the same for Bowen?

yeah...lol..i guess because bowen is younger.

[BraveHeartFan]

Didn't the Skins pay about the same for Bowen?


Pretty much. I think they gave him 27 for 5 so they paid just a couple million more.

[CoCo]

OMG!

Message to server: INCOMING! INCOMING!

[Duane]

Well this certainly helps shore up their defensive line. Lets just hope he continues to be as fragile as he's been the last few years.

[Risen Star]

This is becoming a nightmare.

[theogt]

:lmao2:

[SteveOS]

Not gonna lie man. I wanted this guy, possibly more than I wanted Nnamdi.

[newnationcb]

We'd rather give Spears 4 mil a year than give this guy 5 mil a year?

I know he's way overrated here but c'mon!

In all reality, the Giants and Skins should be feeling the same way we do about all these moves.

[Hoofbite]

So, they've added the 2nd best CB in the league and just bolstered their line.

[CowboyMcCoy]

Ok, I'm starting to get pissed here.

I'm still calm. We need a safety.

[UncFelix28]

wow keeps getting more miserable that we can't get any deals done with these fa's... I figured Elam was a shoe in & he knows how bad we want him, but still no deal, or huff.. This is scary right now, we need help in the backend now! these aren't star players but they will help, please get some deals done

[CoCo]

Going to test the theory of whether big name signings is truly the way to go.

[ThreeSportStar80]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO@ all the hand wringing!!! My goodness, you people are hilarious.

[laythewood28]

Another good deal for the Eagles. I don't understand why Dallas didn't jump at that offer.

[CowboyMcCoy]

This is becoming a nightmare.

Only because our OL is a question mark.

[Duane]

I'm still calm. We need a safety.

A safety or two and a guard.

[DOUBLE WING]

Eagles are outclassing us at every turn. This is pathetic.

[Bowdown27]

Wow are you kidding me. It's like the miami heat of football

[BraveHeartFan]

I don't see the point in getting all upset about what every other team does. They're going to go out and get players too. I'm concerned with the Cowboys improving their Safety situation and depth along both lines.

We can't get every body and I'm not going to be crying and upset about what the other teams are doing that they feel they need to do.

[romomania]

Nightmare continues, I need a hug

[tomson75]

Eagles are outclassing us at every turn. This is pathetic.

Outclassing?

I think not.

[Gemini Dolly]

haha Okay Eagles, go ahead and sign Elam next.

[808s&KobeSteaks]

[Corleone]

This is becoming comedic.

[Frozen700]

you guys are panicking...maybe for no reason

so what happens when they fall flat on their face? Injuries happen, poor seasons happen...you know.

We had a all star team at 1 point...look where that got us

[burmafrd]

the guys injury history and age makes that a deal that we should NOT do. Not at that price.

[CoCo]

A safety or two and a guard.

Just heard a report that said Philly has also signed every available FA Safety & Guard. They plan to trade them for every 1st round pick available in next years draft.

I'm staying calm...

[DandyDon1722]

The Steinbrenner's just called Jeffrie Lurie -- "That's how you do it!"

[Eldorado]

you guys are panicking...maybe for no reason

so what happens when they fall flat on their face? Injuries happen, poor seasons happen...you know.

We had a all star team at 1 point...look where that got us
You're right. We should have no concern that the Eagles as a team have added Rodgers Cromartie, Nnamdi, and Jenkins (without losing anyone, mind you) while we've cut half our team and responded by signing, uh, what was his name?

[Bluestang]

Going to test the theory of whether big name signings is truly the way to go.


The Eagles will be paying in a few yrs for all these FA signings. They will be in our shoes handicapped by the cap jsut wait.

My belief is that championships are not won in the offseason, that is why the game is played.

[DFWJC]

I'm still calm. We need a safety.
Thank You

[Alexander]

Come on we sign Spears and Coleman for $4 million a season but wont pay $5 million a year for Jenkins? I dont get it.

You aren't supposed to get it, because it makes no rational sense.

They better land a FS or I am not renewing my Sunday Ticket this season.

Don't worry. Abram Elam will arrive to save the day.

[urface59]

you guys are panicking...maybe for no reason

so what happens when they fall flat on their face? Injuries happen, poor seasons happen...you know.

Thats the one thing keeping me from getting TOO upset over all this. 2008, never forget!

[Hoofbite]

We can't get every body and I'm not going to be crying and upset about what the other teams are doing that they feel they need to do.

I think a good part of it has to do with the fact that Dallas ISN'T doing anything other than let guys they had interest in walk away.

[Rynie]

Ok, I'm starting to get pissed here.

Seriously. I just spilled my Starbucks everywhere. Jerry has really dropped the ball on FA this year.

Jerry fans....how can you defend him right now? We still have H O L E S.

[peck-sicilyisland]

yeah...lol..i guess because bowen is younger.I don't understand why no love for Hatcher,when he was on the field he perform vs run and pass.

[NinePointOh]

To be fair, the Eagles did let 15 of their own players walk, including several starters. They're going to have massive roster turnover in a year where teams have very little time to work together.

[Alexander]

Outclassing?

I think not.

I would love to hear how we are staying competitive with their every move to improve their team.

So please, spell it out.

[UncFelix28]

lol who was the backup plan Jerry in case your big catch didn't happen with Nnamdi?? It seriously feels like we are one of the few teams who haven't made 1 move to improve our roster.. This s()cks!! :(

[masomenos]

Wow are you kidding me. It's like the miami heat of football

Not quite.

[theanimal23]

It's fine. IMO this was going to be a transitional/semi-rebuild year for us anyway, even if we had landed Asomugha.

Eagles, on paper, are the class of the NFC. That said, anything can happen (see Pats, Heat).

[Mansta54]

Here comes freak out #2!

It's absolutely amazing, the reaction of some fans. Unbelievable!!!

[tomson75]

I would love to hear how we are staying competitive with their every move to improve their team.

So please, spell it out.

Do you need me to spell out and explain to you the definition of the word "class"?

I didn't say they aren't outspending us.

[arglebargle]

the guys injury history and age makes that a deal that we should NOT do. Not at that price.

Yeah, and aren't these the same types who go ballistic about Cowboys having bad contracts with aging, underperforming veterans? Yet, if a name they recognize gets signed by someone else..... Shades of L'il Danny Snyder!



It's the angst brigade....

[InmanRoshi]

The difference in philosophy....


The Cowboys spend money in free agency bringing in a handful of average players and mid-level talents to fill holes.


The Eagles believe they can draft and coach up the talent in system to play up to average players, so they save their money in free agency on one or two top level difference makers like Jenkins and NA.

[Frozen700]

Thats the one thing keeping me from getting TOO upset over all this. 2008, never forget!

yeah anything can happen

i don't wish injury on anyone.....but maybe NA blows a knee or sucks...same for their other stars.

you know what will happen next? we will all laugh at them...and then act as if Jerry was a genius after bashing him months before

hey if they beat our ***, they beat our ***.....we can't knock them for what they are doing...we can only do as good as we can...and just wait and see

I feel we have a all star offense....and with Rob...a Good Defense...jerry might make something shake....you never know

[Hoofbite]

It's fine. IMO this was going to be a transitional/semi-rebuild year for us anyway, even if we had landed Asomugha.

Eagles, on paper, are the class of the NFC. That said, anything can happen (see Pats, Heat).

transitional/semi-rebuilding?

With a sured up OL and a sured up secondary, Dallas can probably compete with any team out there.

Moves on the OL have been made but the secondary moves have not been there AT ALL.

[JBell523]

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

The Eagles front office is running circles around us.

They added two legit pass rushers and a top 2 corner.

We added Kenyon Coleman.

[Everlastingxxx]

The difference in philosophy....


The Cowboys spend money in free agency bringing in a handful of average players to fill holes.


The Eagles believe they can draft and coach up the talent in system to become average players, so they spend their money in free agency on one or two top level difference makers like Jenkins and NA.

That is not true. The Cowboys have been interested in these very players. They are just not pulling the trigger or don’t have the ammunition to do so because we are headed toward cap-hell.

[weaver21]

Indeed... Freakout #2 is happening as we speak...

[Pabst]

Eagles are the new Redskins.

Time will tell if the outcome is the same.

[Rynie]

It's absolutely amazing, the reaction of some fans. Unbelievable!!!

No, what's absolutely amazing is how you ride the coattail of other posters on here. All you do is quote someone and agree with them. It's really quite annoying. Back to ignore you go.

[BraveHeartFan]

I think a good part of it has to do with the fact that Dallas ISN'T doing anything other than let guys they had interest in walk away.


And that sucks but there is no control over what other teams offer people and I'd rather they didn't give up even more money, than teams like the Eagles are offering, for long term deals to guys who are 30 years old.

In 2-3 years you'd be paying a lot of money to a guy most likely past their prime, and not producing like they should, and then the same people upset about this now would be pissed that they over paid for a guy 30 or more years old and, in Jenkins case, who was injury prone.


I'm not saying I don't like Jenkins, or NA. I do. I think they'd be an upgrade to any team that they join but the dollars have to make sense.

Paying 60 million to a 30 year old corner just doesn't make sense. We did that with Newman, already, and Jerry is HAMMERED all the time for it. Now people want to repeat the process with another corner whose 30?

And what if Jenkins injury woes continue? Jerry would be blasted as an idiot for giving that kind of cash to a DE who has missed time in 2 of the last 3 years.


It's a no win in situations like these really and I guess I just don't get the point of being all upset about what teams look like on paper. They play the games on the field for a reason and any Cowboys fan should be able to tell you that being great, and talented, on paper brings you exactly squat when it comes time to actually play the games.

[DFWJC]

Some of you guys sound like this is a draft and we are passing on these guys. Like we are sitting there and just watching everything.

It's Free Agency, we may be trying and failing. The Eagles had far more cap space than we did and can and will overpay. And now that the blood is the water and players see a real shot (in their opinion) at a Super Bowl, some will want to go there.

[weaver21]

They can get all the players they want... their the Eagles. They always find some way to choke in the playoffs. :).

[TheFinisher]

Watch them get Randy Moss next lmao

[bbgun]

In Jerry's words, looks like they're "going for it." Only they're not just words in Philly. That said, $5M per year is a little high for a guy not on the field for 90% of the snaps.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Here comes freak out #2!

Yup. I am still pleased by the tenor of practice to freak out over Lurie going big money on free agents and us not. The game is played on the field and until i see poor play and approach on the field I will not despair.

[Bigdog]

The one thing that ESPN did say this morning is that the Eagles have 1/6 of their salary cap tied up in the secondary specifically to three different players. Could be a major problem in a couple of years. That is what I think a ESPN reporter who is covering them said.

[Alexander]

Do you need me to spell out and explain to you the definition of the word "class"?

I didn't say they aren't outspending us.

I took it to mean "outclass" as far as being superior to us organizationally.

Which in terms of taking steps, right or wrong, to improve their standing, they are unquestionably making Dallas look like we are run by rank amateurs. From the Kolb heist to the Asomugha bait and switch and now this? I fail to see how this can just be dismisssed. This is the divisional champion taking whatever steps that are necessary to improve. At least they are backing up their promises to their fans. They are not throwing out hollow promises about "going for it" while sitting around paralyzed because they failed to land their prize free agent.

If you want to waste time worrying who wins the award for "Nicer Guys" go right ahead.

[JBell523]

In Jerry's words, looks like they're "going for it." Only they're not just words in Philly. That said, $5M per year is a little high for a guy not on the field for 90% of the snaps.

We paid 5 mil/year to re-sign a JAG.

Spears isn't on Jenkins' level and they're getting paid the same.

:banghead:

Tell me when I am supposed to laugh at them.

[casmith07]

Where are they getting all of this money?

I'm thinking someone's going to be on the move soon - Asante Samuel comes to mind.

[Woods]

Where are they getting all of this money?

I'm thinking someone's going to be on the move soon - Asante Samuel comes to mind.

It does appear according to various mediots that they want to move him.

[NinePointOh]

Where are they getting all of this money?

I'm thinking someone's going to be on the move soon - Asante Samuel comes to mind.

They might need to move Samuel, and they already let all 15 of their own free agents walk, including several starters.

[Alexander]

Some of you guys sound like this is a draft and we are passing on these guys. Like we are sitting there and just watching everything.

It's Free Agency, we may be trying and failing. The Eagles had far more cap space than we did and can and will overpay. And now that the blood is the water and players see a real shot (in their opinion) at a Super Bowl, some will want to go there.

We signed Spears for close to the kind of money Jenkins is making. So tell me again how cap room matters?

And per the resident cap experts around here, we could do whatever we wanted, remember? So which is it? You can't have it both ways.

[cjr126]

i read that the eagles are also on the verge of signing plaxico burress .. desean jackson must be licking his chops because he's got the eagles over a barrel now .. eagles can't claim poor when he holds out for a huge contract .. they're paying everyone else

[theanimal23]

transitional/semi-rebuilding?

With a sured up OL and a sured up secondary, Dallas can probably compete with any team out there.

Moves on the OL have been made but the secondary moves have not been there AT ALL.

I don't see anyone safteys on our team or in the market that will significantly help us. IMO, I see it being an issue again this season and something that needs to be addressed again this year. If our CBs can play at a higher level, as they have in the past, then yes, we'll be competing. But until this team wins, I'm not a believer. Been down this road too many times in years past. IMO, the Cowboys are the team that go by the papers/media. They win games when everyone doubt's them, etc. The second they go on a win streak, they drink the Kool Aid, and there it ends.

I'm not saying this in regards to the Eagles or any other team. Just don't see our defensive issues being fixed with a spotty secondary at best (even if we get FAs). I personally think the Cowboys will be a better team than last year, but however, the competition has gotten better. We'll see what happens. IMO,

I hope they do some serious damage.

[CATCH17]

Unbelievable..

[starchamber]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO@ all the hand wringing!!! My goodness, you people are hilarious.

I agree with you. Everbody know Jerry jones is one the best talent evaluators in the league. If he isn't moving on something it must be because of his assessment of our roster tells him that we don't need much improvement if any. I am sure Jerry feels Phillie had many more holes to fill than Dallas did. If it wasn't for Jerry's keen assessment of talent, we would not have gotten a top ten draft pick in 2011. So, yes we should all calm down. After all we have seen this movie before.

[bbgun]

We paid 5 mil/year to re-sign a JAG.

Spears isn't on Jenkins' level and they're getting paid the same.

:banghead:

Spears is being paid way too much for what he does, but he's not making $5M per year.

[weaver21]

And we have millions tied up to the likes of Roy Williams in 2012.

Tell me when I am supposed to laugh at them.

Do you understand that we don't have much money? The Cowboys can't go out there and throw money around like that, that would be stupid. I understand you want to improve the team, but the Cowboys need to play smart.

[UncFelix28]

their money stems from having a pro bowl WR making prolly near the minimum-having a QB making the minimum for the vet.. they don't have a whole lot of overpaid players

[Bluestang]

Where are they getting all of this money?

I'm thinking someone's going to be on the move soon - Asante Samuel comes to mind.


How are they going to pay Jackson and Vick in the next few years? What about Maclin when his contract is up? They will be having salary cap issues in the next few yrs for sure.

This purely looks like it's 'all in' for them this year and that is really dangerous to run a team like that.

[tomson75]

I took it to mean "outclass" as far as being superior to us organizationally.

I didn't. I took it literally. The word "class" and the Eagles, don't belong in the same sentence.


If you want to waste time worrying who wins the award for "Nicer Guys" go right ahead.

Lmao....I don't see where I'm "worrying" about a damn thing. I'll leave that to the umpteen hundred defeatists we have freaking out on this forum.

[Teague31]

there is a reason the pack was willing to let him go folks.

[Deep_Freeze]

This is just starting to get disgusting.

[WoodysGirl]

Where are they getting all of this money?

I'm thinking someone's going to be on the move soon - Asante Samuel comes to mind.
I think I read on twitter that Asante is available for trade. More than likely he'll be released.

[The Natural]

:rolleyes:

[NinePointOh]

We signed Spears for close to the kind of money Jenkins is making. So tell me again how cap room matters?

And per the resident cap experts around here, we could do whatever we wanted, remember? So which is it? You can't have it both ways.

Jenkins is 2 years older than Spears and has missed an average of 6 games per year due to injury over the last 3 years. I don't think the cap is the reason we passed on him.

[DFWJC]

there is a reason the pack was willing to let him go folks.
WAY to much logic there.

[JBell523]

Spears is being paid way too much for what he does, but he's not making $5M per year.

My bad.. I thought it was 4 years/19.5 mil, but it's 5 years/19.5 mil

So 4 mil/year...Still similar contracts.

The gap in talent between Jenkins and Spears is far greater than the gap in their two salaries.

[InmanRoshi]

Do you understand that we don't have much money? The Cowboys can't go out there and throw money around like that, that would be stupid. I understand you want to improve the team, but the Cowboys need to play smart.

The Cowboys are spending money too, just on mediocrity like Spears.

[johnnyd]

Where are they getting all of this money?

I'm thinking someone's going to be on the move soon - Asante Samuel comes to mind.

the thing is this doesnt seem like big money , between jenkins and NA you could argue that they both came in under what we "thought" they would get .

[bbgun]

Do you understand that we don't have much money? The Cowboys can't go out there and throw money around like that, that would be stupid. I understand you want to improve the team, but the Cowboys need to play smart.

We're poor? What do you think they were offering Nmadi yesterday? Peanuts?

[JBell523]

there is a reason the pack was willing to let him go folks.

Because they have a lot of young talent playing on cheap contracts that they're going to have to eventually pay.

Can't blame them for wanting to lock up their young studs before Jenkins. Doesn't mean Jenkins isn't a baller.

[BraveHeartFan]

I've got a feeling Samuel is probably going to have to be cut in order to make this all work for the Eagles, especially if they start thinking about the future.

We'll see I suppose.

[Hoofbite]

And that sucks but there is no control over what other teams offer people and I'd rather they didn't give up even more money, than teams like the Eagles are offering, for long term deals to guys who are 30 years old.

They play the games on the field for a reason and any Cowboys fan should be able to tell you that being great, and talented, on paper brings you exactly squat when it comes time to actually play the games.

You're right. You can't control what other teams do which is exactly why it is so frustrating to see Dallas DO NOTHING.

The entire right side of the OL needed replaced, not finished. Half the secondary needed replace, not even started. The DL needed some depth before the offseason started, currently Dallas is 2 guys out and 1 guy in.

So again, I couldn't care less about the Eagles doing whatever but when they take guys off the market that Dallas is interested in and could use (maybe not so much with NA but nearly this entire board was hard up for Cullen. I didn't even really like him because I thought he was going for a payday.) then I get a little agitated. The complete lack of attention to huge holes really ****ing pisses me off.

Yeah, yeah. It's early. FA just started and I normally wouldn't care but this year is different. You don't have time to *****-foot around because preseason starts in a couple of weeks.

[Woods]

I thought NO was the front runner for Jenkins. Wonder how much they were offering . . . .

[UncFelix28]

so how many years down the line will it be before we can start throwing around money like the eagles and signing all the top FA's?? 2025?

[CATCH17]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO@ all the hand wringing!!! My goodness, you people are hilarious.

What's funny?

We're a sucky defense with the same sucky players while the best team in the division got 2 of the better players in the entire league.

I don't think it's funny at all.

[starchamber]

We're poor? What do you think they were offering Nmadi yesterday? Peanuts?

DOAH!!!

I think a good part of it has to do with the fact that Dallas ISN'T doing anything other than let guys they had interest in walk away.

Exactly our 3 biggest needs going into the off season were OG, FS and dline. They havent improved one of them and the longer this goes the less likely it is they are going to.

Seems to me like they are content with Holland, the guy who couldnt get Davis off the field last season and is out of shape again this season.

I dont see how can you get excited about that as a fan. I wish I had the same optimism some of you have.

Greg_A_Bedard (http://twitter.com/Greg_A_Bedard): Absolutely love Cullen Jenkins, but he gets hurt. A lot. Constant knee/ankle dings that sap him of his pass rush at times

[CaptainMorgan]

We have watched the Redskins sign every high profile player on the market for years, we all see how many super bowls that got em.

Im glad we arent pursuing 30+ year old players and paying them millions.

[DanteEXT]

lol who was the backup plan Jerry in case your big catch didn't happen with Nnamdi?? It seriously feels like we are one of the few teams who haven't made 1 move to improve our roster.. This s()cks!! :(

Didn't realize the cowboys skipped the draft this year.

[BraveHeartFan]

Also with all these other guys signing how much more is this going to make Jackson dig his heels in and refuse to play till he gets a new deal? They're getting a lot of shiny new toys but not paying their guys who've already proven themselves to the team.

I'm not saying they won't I'm only wondering how much all this spending is going to cost them when it comes time to get serious and discuss a contract with Jackson.

[bbgun]

My bad.. I thought it was 4 years/19.5 mil, but it's 5 years/19.5 mil

So 4 mil/year...Still similar contracts.

The gap in talent between Jenkins and Spears is far greater than the gap in their two salaries.

As I said the other day, I was worried about his age and his hunger to compete coming off a championship. It's the Philly angle that bugs me. Do free agents realize there are other NFL cities to go to?

[weaver21]

We have watched the Redskins sign every high profile player on the market for years, we all see how many super bowls that got em.

Im glad we arent pursuing 30+ year old players and paying them millions.

Don't bother... 'Boys fans will always complain and whine about everything. Let the Eagles buy players... it hasn't help the Redskins win Super Bowls.

[reddyuta]

Spears is getting 4.2 mil in guaranteed money.

[CATCH17]

The difference in philosophy....


The Cowboys spend money in free agency bringing in a handful of average players and mid-level talents to fill holes.


The Eagles believe they can draft and coach up the talent in system to play up to average players, so they save their money in free agency on one or two top level difference makers like Jenkins and NA.

Pretty much. Good post.

[Hoofbite]

.....

Yeah, a little frequently. I was wondering if they back off on the server capabilities in the offseason to try and reduce the cost. Not even last year did I get so many server notices.

[Bluestang]

Also with all these other guys signing how much more is this going to make Jackson dig his heels in and refuse to play till he gets a new deal? They're getting a lot of shiny new toys but not paying their guys who've already proven themselves to the team.

I'm not saying they won't I'm only wondering how much all this spending is going to cost them when it comes time to get serious and discuss a contract with Jackson.

I acutally feel bad for Jackson because he has laid out his body to play and even return punts still at his stage of his career and he is getting treated like crap by the Eagles. This is gonna happen to Vick as well just wait and see.

[casmith07]

the thing is this doesnt seem like big money , between jenkins and NA you could argue that they both came in under what we "thought" they would get .

They added Babin too. And Vince Young. How far under the cap were they...or who's getting traded or cut before Thursday is what I'm wondering.

[BraveHeartFan]

You're right. You can't control what other teams do which is exactly why it is so frustrating to see Dallas DO NOTHING.

The entire right side of the OL needed replaced, not finished. Half the secondary needed replace, not even started. The DL needed some depth before the offseason started, currently Dallas is 2 guys out and 1 guy in.

So again, I couldn't care less about the Eagles doing whatever but when they take guys off the market that Dallas is interested in and could use (maybe not so much with NA but nearly this entire board was hard up for Cullen. I didn't even really like him because I thought he was going for a payday.) then I get a little agitated. The complete lack of attention to huge holes really ****ing pisses me off.

Yeah, yeah. It's early. FA just started and I normally wouldn't care but this year is different. You don't have time to *****-foot around because preseason starts in a couple of weeks.

Word. I understand that.

I still see the options out there though for the things we need to work on. I know there are a couple of solid options at RG out there, there are 3 or 4 safeties still on the market that any combination of those 3 or 4 would help our secondary.

I still think we could bring back Hatcher to keep us with decent depth along our D-Line.

I still see the ability to improve the areas we need to and I'm still hopeful we will.

When it's all said and done if none of those things are done, and they just sit pat with what they have, then I'll be extremely disappointed in the Front office and I'll be wondering why they did that.

[Woods]

As I said the other day, I was worried about his age and his hunger to compete coming off a championship. It's the Philly angle that bugs me. Do free agents realize there are other NFL cities to go to?

The Saints were supposed to have a lot of interest in him as well. I guess they backed off at the price tag. Anyway, wish Jenkins didn't go to Philly.

Heck, at least they didn't get Free to boot.

[Gossamer]

The Steinbrenner's just called Jeffrie Lurie -- "That's how you do it!"


With Ja Rule's '...Livin' it up..' - playing in the background....

[Cajuncowboy]

In Red we trust!

Eagles got stronger. We appear to look weaker.

They could be the Redskins of the 2011 campaign. IT never works out for the Skins and the eagles have never won a Super Bowl. Until they can prove they can win it, I'm not worried.

We all know we have talent here. We have two of the best WRs in the league. Avery good, top flight QB and a decent OL that can use a tweak or two to be dominate.

We have one of the best Defensive linemen in the league in Ratliff and the best defensive player all around in Ware. I think the LBers will be improved and the only areas where we are in real need is DB and another rush end.

If that is all we need we can address them as they become available and not break the bank.

I wanted Nnamdi and would have loved Jenkins, but I don't know if they would have been the one or two pieces that would have made the difference.

Besides, I don't know about anyone else but I am excited to see what Rob Ryan does with his new toys.

[SkinsandTerps]

Perhaps the cap is an issue.

As much as some say they are fine. Just maybe they are too close to really go for it.

EDIT: Good for them. Bring it.

[cjr126]

there is a reason the pack was willing to let him go folks.

he is a huge gamble since he's constantly injured .. but when healthy and on the field he is a freakin beast

[Bizwah]

Another nice signing by Philly.

We'll have our work cut out for us. But I think we can win the division still.

Let's keep in mind...they're going all in. They've given HUGE contracts to two guys in their thirties (NA-30/Jenkins 32). Jenkins has a history of being dinged.

They're gambling.....it might pay off HUGE....or it could come back to haunt them.

[TheCoolFan]

I have a feeling they'll get Randy Moss too

[CATCH17]

Do you understand that we don't have much money? The Cowboys can't go out there and throw money around like that, that would be stupid. I understand you want to improve the team, but the Cowboys need to play smart.

So when does the smart part start?

I think it stopped when they drafted a guy in the 2nd round who we may not even be able to use this year.


I was on board with Bruce Carter because I thought we would actually pick up some quality FA's. I should've known better.


Kenyon Coleman and Marcus Spears. Wow.

[Hoofbite]

I have a feeling they'll get Randy Moss too

Yeah, that's a recent rumor I hope doesn't come true.

Vick can throw the ball a country mile. Last thing I want to see is Randy running straight downfield.

[UncFelix28]

I have a feeling they'll get Randy Moss too

yeah, you are prolly right.. true definition of trying to buy a championship with this squad they are putting together, hey do what u gotta do....Sure we would do the same if the cap allowed.. still rolling with my Boys & I think talent can achieve over big names

[cjr126]

I have a feeling they'll get Randy Moss too

idk i heard that they're making a huge push for plaxico

[Hoofbite]

Do you understand that we don't have much money? The Cowboys can't go out there and throw money around like that, that would be stupid. I understand you want to improve the team, but the Cowboys need to play smart.

They were making a play for Nnamdi. I'm not gonna believe they're all that strapped for cash.

Don't forget Alan Ball we resigned him to even though he was just a RFA :lmao2:

[ScipioCowboy]

Jerry dropped the ball on this one. The Nnamdi loss was just bad luck and poor timing, but this was a case of poor planning.

[Mansta54]

What's funny?

We're a sucky defense with the same sucky players while the best team in the division got 2 of the better players in the entire league.

I don't think it's funny at all.

Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, the HC and his approach had alot to do with the performance of our defense and entire team. Our players don't suck at all, our old HC didn't demand jack from them or held them accountable. He didn't push them and work them hard to get the best out of them. There was zero discipline or order in our camp last year and it showed... I believe our best move was with our HC and his staff...

[bmzt31]

This is insane the eagles are signing everyone

[jblaze2004]

Don't forget Alan Ball we resigned him to even though he was just a RFA :lmao2:

i dont think we resigned him. He signed his tender i think.:confused:

[davey999]

For anyone to now think the Cowboys can compete with the Eagles right now is dreaming.

And also, D.Jackson will be in the opening day lineup.

[CATCH17]

We have watched the Redskins sign every high profile player on the market for years, we all see how many super bowls that got em.

Im glad we arent pursuing 30+ year old players and paying them millions.


Good gosh this isn't the same at all.


The Eagles have a great front office, great coaching, and always get good QB play.

Washington never gets any of that so please stop.

[starchamber]

Don't bother... 'Boys fans will always complain and whine about everything. Let the Eagles buy players... it hasn't help the Redskins win Super Bowls.

There is a big difference between Andy Reid and Danny Snyder and Vince Cerrato. The last time Philly made this many moves was when they signed TO and Jevon Kearse. If I am not mistaken, they at least made it to the dance.

[viman96]

He has played in 93 out 128 over 8 years. The last 3 seasons he has played 31 out of 48.

[Ren]

i dont think we resigned him. He signed his tender i think.:confused:

that^^ i think idk, doesn't matter point is he's coming back :banghead:

[nake]

Yeah, that's a recent rumor I hope doesn't come true.

Vick can throw the ball a country mile. Last thing I want to see is Randy running straight downfield.

Nothing to worry about. Moss will never get past our free safety. Well, if we have one...

[cjr126]

They were making a play for Nnamdi. I'm not gonna believe they're all that strapped for cash.

that's my only problem here .. if you can clear space for nnamdi than why not clear space to fill huge holes with quality players like blalock & goldson

i'm so confused my head feels like it's gonna pop

LMAO

[bbgun]

He has played in 93 out 128 over 8 years. The last 3 seasons he has played 31 out of 48.

The Eagles, rightly or wrongly, believe they are one or two parts away from a championship. That's what makes the gamble worth it in their minds.

[noshame]

I not so much pissed that we didn't make a big move, I'm hoping we're that good right now. However, that said, you cannot deny the beagles are now a force.

[DanteEXT]

wow numb nuts, I am talking about Free Agency and the defensive side of the ball where we ranked close to DEAD *** last

Nice...

I know what you were implying. I was pointing out that looking at FA alone is illogical.

It appears, that for the most part, the organization does not view the defensive talent level the same as you. Looks to me like they feel like they are closer to the 2009 D than the 2010 D.

[Romo 2 Austin]

What the hell thats a robbery.

[Everlastingxxx]

Scott Hanson said Eagles going after Plex?

[TheFinisher]

I can't believe we've actually managed to get worse this offseason.

Top 10 pick, here we come!

[NinePointOh]

This is insane the eagles are signing everyone
And they lost 15. I don't know if people realize how many people, including starters and key contributers, Philly needs to replace.

[Alexander]

I agree with you. Everbody know Jerry jones is one the best talent evaluators in the league.

:lmao2:

That was a good one. You really cheered me up. I was feeling kind of blue.

Wait, you are serious?

Mark my words. Dallas WILL go to the playoffs.

All of this is falling into piece. The Eagles are quickly becoming the Redskins. We will terrorize Mike Vick.

[viman96]

The Eagles, rightly or wrongly, believe they are one or two parts away from a championship. That's what makes the gamble worth it in their minds.

With all their moves I think it is safe to say they believed they were more than one move away. My comment was more about Jenkins and his health then knocking the Eagles for being aggressive.

I bet we have a crappy year, we have players get dinged up, and Red gets a pass on all of it and we waste more time with him as our coach before we finally get destroyed so bad the next year that we finally send him packing.

[starsfreak31]

Eagles are going to be old in a few years. It's not like Jenkins is a workout warrior who's going to keep himself in shape. Their OL and LB situation still sucks.

[MichaelWinicki]

Giving a part-time player of that age a contract worth that amount is stoopid.

And folks here want the Cowboys to do that?

[davey999]

Giving a part-time player of that age a contract worth that amount is stoopid.

Not necessarily, but I think they do want the team to improve, and so far that has not been done - any way you look at it.

[EPL0c0]

Eagles just trade Bunkley to Cleveland?

Quick, name me all these free agent busts the Eagles have been signing in the last decade?

The Eagles have actually made some really good FA decisions that have panned out.

In '04 when they acquired Kearse and T.O., they made it to the Super Bowl.

They signed Asante in '08 and he's been an elite CB for them. They signed Jason Peters this past off-season who's been far from a bust. And we all know how Michael Vick has panned out for them.

The comparisons to the Redskins are stupid and ignorant.

[davey999]

Give it a little time.

If we are left with guys the calibre of Kenyon Coleman, go help us.

Right now Jerry should be working on guys like: Blalock, Landry, Huff etc.

And it sounds like we'll be left with Elam. Brutal.

I hope ticket sales are slow...

very well put my friend .. hey let's face it we all despise the eagles and their obnoxious fans but we have to give credit when necessary .. comparing the eagles and redskins is not a wise move

just sayin

[JohnsKey19]

Honestly I'm more concerned about what we haven't done more so than what the Eagles or any other team has done. We need to address our obvious holes and we'll be ok.

[Avery]

I'm not really that high on Jenkins. He simply can't stay healthy.

Eagles are definitely going for it all.

[Doomsday]

Looks like they also just traded Bunkley to Cleveland for a 5th round pick. So they are stock piling players and picks.

[UncFelix28]

Like who?? lol, Huff-Elam-Sensabaugh-Ty Warren?? haha maybe we should sign T.O. & Moss jk jk jk , lmao who else is out there now? Is Justin Blalock even available?

[SilverStarCowboy]

Come on we sign Spears and Coleman for $4 million a season but wont pay $5 million a year for Jenkins? I dont get it. They better land a FS or I am not renewing my Sunday Ticket this season.


Dallas basically got 2 for 1 combined Cowboys paid the same for Coleman and Spears, than the Skins & Eagles paid for Jenkins or Bowen.

They overpaid for Kearse. He more or less had 1 good season and was more of a specialist after that.

Jason Peters blows. And they know it.

Ernie Sims didn't work out.

Kevin Curtis didn't work out.

I could go on. But, I'm not actually saying that they are bad evaluators of talent. However...what I am saying is 'haven't we been here before?'

Remember all of those times that hte Eagles supposedly had 'this is the team' and failed?

Look at Andy Reid's track record when it comes to neglecting the run. It's not pretty. Look at Vick's track record as a QB. And last year once teams started blitzing their DB's and forcing him to the right, his play dropped off dramatically and he started looking like the same ole Mike Vick.

They've more or less, put more pressure on themselves by trying to create the 'ultimate team.' And if I were an Eagles fan, I'd rather have Jim Johnson coaching my defense than adding Jenkins, Asomugha and DRC.

[Suave]

I appreciate your calmness, but Dallas has to start doing something soon. As much as I hate the Eagles, I give them a lot of credit for not only filling holes, but signing impact players in the process. They are playing hardball. They stated they would be aggressive in free agency, and they have done just that.

If Jerry Jones continues to wait, then when he starts making moves, most of the quality players will be off the market. He stood pat last year, and it cost his team dearly, leading to a 6-10 season. Yeah, yeah, I know they went 11-5 the season before, but in this league, you NEVER get complacent, no matter how good you are. He thought he could plug in Alan Ball to replace Ken Hamlin, but that blew up in his face, as Ball turned out to be one of the WORST Safeties in the NFL.

Solid contributors are great, but it's time Jerry signs IMPACT players, especially at the Safety position. The team has gone far too long with plugging in a bunch of average guys at Safeties, and more often than not, it has hurt the team.

He needs to start signing players really soon, or he will be left with table scraps.

[Alexander]

Not sure how signing a steady but unspectacular safety like Elam or whoever will close the gap with Philly. We haven't even replaced guys like Davis and RW11, unless they're counting on Ogletree and Holland (yikes).

Good point. When's the last time we traded a player for a draft pick?

the guys injury history and age makes that a deal that we should NOT do. Not at that price. I know DeSean Jackson is about to explode if he hasn't already with how the Eagles are signing these free agents such as Nnamdi to a big contract.

Yeah right before almost winning league MVP...

Stephen Jones said we had a plan.

I have no idea what it is, but he said there was one.

Spears, Coleman, and Elam!

this is how you are suppose to make contracts for guys 30 or older. Bravo eagles. I have to give credit were it is due.

Iggles are always one,play from being out of it with vick though. He cant help himself.

[187beatdown]

Yeah except they have a good front office, coach, and QB play.

Good front offices win championships. Haven't seen the Eagles do that in quite some time.

I'm curious!! Are you really a undercover Eagles fan? It sure sounds that way.:rolleyes: You're on their jock pretty hard.. Just sayin!!!

[Yakuza Rich]

That's kinda the point. It's one thing to look like the MVP of the league in week 8, another to look like garbage come December.

I think they spent too much in FA. And really they have nothing compared to Dez. I can't wait to see Dez and Austin v their defense.

I bet they are saying the same thing about their offense vs our defense.


Not to mention our brilliant special teams.

In the modern NFL, good offense will always trump good defense, and the Cowboys offense has the potential to be great this season.

The Cowboys defense is a different story, though....

Get laid...it works for most frustration.

I don't even feel like we've been CONTACTING or even TRYing to get anyone on this team.

Hm, let's assume that Alan Ball is now our go to safety, he seemed to do EVERYTHING RIGHT last year. Good thinking, Boys. What are we even doing?? It seems like Jerry just listens to his fans more than he does his team because he's more concerned with what he looks like as an owner rather than what actually happens on the ****ing field.

We were pissed at him for signing too many, now we're pissed at him for signing to little. Pick a MEDIAN, man, it's not that complicated to figure this **** out when you've owned the team for 20+ years and half the fan's know what's right for this team better than you do.

Just talk to the hand. Maybe it's willing.

Saw this thread on my iphone a couple hours ago. Just not getting home to enjoy it. Thanks for the unintentional comedy everybody. Threads like this are pure gold.
