News: Eagles trading DT Jordan Davis to the Jags for a 1st and 2nd rd pick

[Majic]

It isn’t hard. When you know a team wants a guy at a particular position, you have the leverage.

If you keep an “I can take or leave your offer” throughout the negotiations, the deal comes to you.

The Jags are all in and Philly took advantage and conceded this isn’t their year.

It is exactly what Dallas should be doing honestly, but Jerry thinks this window is wide open, even though he is staring at a damn brock wall lol

I wonder if today the Joneses have slept on the Eagles trade and wake up today thinking we need to make the most of the next couple of years before Eagles are rebuilt. Hope we don't see some crazy trade by them.

Far more likely you see Jerry in buyer mode than seller mode.

Just not sure if he has enough ammo to do something seismic. Which is probably a good thing lol

I never for one second thought he might be in selling mode!

He sold his soul for those 3 superbowls and since then the only thing hes selling is bs

Looks like the Eagles have Football Men in the front office... I wish we had Football men (and not self proclaimed Football men) in our front office.

6’-6”, 336 lbs. is typical for an NFL interior defensive lineman. Not fat, obviously not out of shape. He’s a big time run stopper. Jacksonville is serious about winning.

Serious run stopper?

Have you seen him play? Didn't you even watch him against us?

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

He can’t play on third downs so that’s gonna limit his snaps. They killed their cap giving him that deal I can’t see them being that incompetent to give it to someone who is too tired.

That's literally his history....even going back to college.

They gave him that contract after his 1 above average year (his contract year)

Good for him....he fooled them, and then proceeded to get lazy again as soon as the check cleared

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

I can’t see a team trading for him after the health scare and last two years.

Idk....never seen this with an NFL player b4. Does that mean he's "susceptible to clots"? Or when it clears up, is he no different than anyone else? Either way...he will be there next year that's for sure.

Unless he retires.

How many DT’s, currently, have more run stops than Davis this season?

 

[GINeric]

Just not for the Cowboys. No, you advocate the Cowboys overpay for a subpar QB and then get more talent to prop him up.

Man I appreciate you so much. I just bet one of my employees 100 bucks that within the the first two pages, some troll on this board will find a creative way to bring up Dak in yet another thread that has absolutely nothing to do with the Dallas Cowboys and BOOOOMMMM!!!

There you were with this on the FIRST page. Man what's your cash app, I should atleast pay for your lunch today.

Didn't he have a couple of fg blocks as well?

This, why you see them and the colts pulling a Florida Marlins (after winning WS each year), they both know they aren’t PO caliber teams and no need in kidding yourself here thinking you are, sell assets for picks.

The Eagles are doing exactly what a good FO does. Thats why I wrote the thread that they were the real winners even though we won the game against them. They suck but are poised for a rebuild. We suck but will be in draft pick hell. They have a plan, we don’t.

This and Jerry’s reluctance to hire a top tier coach for fear of not getting credit is the most clear example of how defunct our FO is and how impossible getting to a SB will be

 

[phildadon86]

They aren't selling they are just unloading mistakes. If they unload Mjtchell or Devonta then yeah I'd agree.

I mean. They have won a SB, tore it down, won another SB, and are tearing it down again.

All while this FO has hung around the rim.

As much as "real cowboy fans" dont want to admit it, the Eagles FO has demonstrated it knows how to win.

Davis is not a game changer, but he is a very solid immoveable interior defender. It was the media who tried to cast him as a game changer when he was always going to be just solid.

Here's what happened: Their own NT, Hamilton is out for the year. They just gave up 170 yds rushing to the Ravens. So, this is a desperation move.

Davis was drafted in 2022, so this is his 5th year. He just signed a 3 year $78 mil contract. 26 mil/season. While I value the run stuffing NT as much as anyone, that's a lot for a NT.

Salary dump by Philly who found a desperate team willing to overpay. Dammmit, Jerry, why aren't you doing the same?

Davis is one of the best run stoppers in the NFL. Kinda a known fact.

 

[cowboyfan44]

Cowboys will end up with a 3rd round pick for Pickens

Wow, you’re so funny…..not.

It’s not an overpay. It is a reminder to get your talent signed. Players under contract are always more desirable trade candidates because the acquiring team knows the contractual responsibilities and can make a most appropriate decision for their organization’s plans going forward.

QW straight steal.... Look Round to the other. Trades for defensive tackles. Mean more recently, look what they gave for Simmons and now Jordan. I mean, Jerry, gotta steal. Absolute great move..

not that big a gap between the Jags compoensation with Jordans production vs VALUE in Ogbonnia and QW was a straight steal
