Eagles still have him on his rookie deal next year. They can extend him and backload it so he’s not a big cap hit until at least 2025
Hey, look. The Eages puke is here right after the game. Unlike the Cowboys and Saints games.

Congrats on beating Daniel Jones on extra rest and then Josh Johnson. What an accomplishment.

Whats next? Hope for Chad Henne in the Super Bowl?

3.3 yards rushing vs SF, yet they still ran it 44 times. 4 TDs.
25 attempts for 121 passing and no TDs.

I know SF played most of the game without a QB and the whole 2nd half without one, but that’s still quite a commitment to the run.

Dak deserves a lot of criticism for sure. But not as much as the guy who has been large and in charge of everything with this team by his own design. We’ve been lapped twice by two division rivals in the last two decades- the giants and now eagles. That’s not on Dak.
The fact is that if Dak played a halfway decent game we would have won last week against the All World Niners. The game was right there, the Defense showed up bigtime and Dak let us down. The team last week was totally capable of beating the Niners, we just got substandard qb play unfortunately. Jerry deserves blame for Dak crapping the bed? Ok whatever. Should we be more aggressive in FA this year, Yes most definitely.

I was here during and after those games, pretty much everyone here can corroborate. We’ll take Chad Henne or Chad Ochocinco or even Chad Powers, sometimes you’re just happy to still be alive

Jerry and Stephen need help to be successful. They don’t understand how to put a championship roster together under this cap system. They talk like they have stronger constraints than the teams lapping them every year.

The teams winning SBs are being led by young GMs who are aggressive in the off-season and never look at their roster with satisfaction. Until JJ and SJ learn something new, nothing changes.
McClay, what do you think his role is. It’s not just draft.

For the 3rd straight year, the NFC champion will be a team that was extremely aggressive in free agency and trades in the off-season
  • 2020- Tampa Bay- signed Tom Brady, T Joe Haeig, TE Ron Gronkowski as FAs, and franchise tagged LB Shaq Barrett. Won the SB.
  • 2021- LA Rams- made a whopping 8 trades including trading Jared Goff and two 1sts and 3rd round pick to the lions for Matt Stafford. Traded two day two picks for Von Miller, and signed FA Odell Beckham, Jr. Won SB.
  • 2022- Philly- eagles were super aggressive in off-season signing FA LB Haason Reddick, and 3 other defensive starters, and acquired WR AJ Brown in a trade with Tenn. The eagles were the most aggressive team last off-season. Their defense went from 29th in sacks to 1st in one year.
Meanwhile Stephen Jones reminds Cowboys fans of his concerns about staying under the cap and that “we like our guys”. In the last 6 years, Philly has won a SB, completely rebuilt its roster and is in a position to win another.

It’s certainly arguable that the main reason the Cowboys could not make it to the NFC championship game this yr had a lot to do with what they DID NOT DO LAST OFF-SEASON.

Honestly, I know they won, of course, but the Rams gamble so nearly fell flat that I'm not giving that template any credibility. It's been replayed and replayed, if Burrow somehow merely had a half second more to toss that ball downfield, the Rams woulda been the laughingstock of football for their all-in decision. Sure, they have that trophy. It didn't turn out bad after all. But nah, I think they lucked out.

Tampa didn't do anything all that different than any other team, except sign GOAT.

Philly? We'll see. Supposedly, it's been less about them being "all-in," more about them just being very smart in the moves they made.

So... the "extremely aggressive" premise kinda doesn't wash for me.

He needs a bigger role. Less Jerry and Stephen. More Will McClay. I could live with that.

Surely you agree the Jones boys are out of their league. When two division rivals have been to 5 SBs since the last time you even won a divisional playoff game, you’re GM doesn’t know what he‘s doing.

Or the play of their QB in crunch time.

lol...what you talking bout Willis? Us Cowboy fans already know. What can us citizens do about it?

It's so freaking funny that it is sad at the same time.

It makes me really want to take my band down to TX and try and find JJ's canoe...play a sad song or two.

Buckle up butter cup! Hard times ahead.
