This is what I would do in the offseason!

Blankenship is one of those guys that for some reason people overvalue.

He's the Eagles version of Jeff Heath, a guy people for some reason think is way better than he actually is. Although as I said above, while a fan favorite early, many fans in Philly are coming around to the mediocrity that is Reed Blankenship.
That’s exactly who he reminds me of. Jeff Heath. I would hope we can do better then Reed Blankenship in the draft.
 
I too live in Philly and he's a mediocre safety. Always has been. He was a big fan fave here for a bit but many are coming around to the realization he's kind of blah and that likely isn't long for Philadelphia.

I quibble with the notion that he'd be an upgrade on Wilson.
Wilson is paid more than twice what Blankenship is paid. Would you “quibble” with which one is the better value?
 
If Jerry wants one last chance of a SB before he retires, this is the time to make it happen. When Dak leaves or retires, that's when a full rebuild is expected to happen.
In Jethro's mind he has already done enough. He believes if we had our current team at the begging of the year, we would be 9-2-1.
 
Someone is going to pay Blankenship more than he makes now. It should not be us.
No one is going to pay him what Wilson is paid and no one is going to pay Wilson that much again, either.
 
This is what I would do this offseason, not what I think the Cowboys might do:

-Fire DC Matt Eberflus, we need to bring in a modern defensive scheme. Brain Flores would be my top target if he fails to land a HC job. He runs a modern, hybrid scheme and has gotten results without stars. Jim Leonard from the Broncos would be my fall back option.

-Time to open up the books and move some money to the post Dak years. They have the ability to create over 100 million in space. Franchise Tag George Pickens. Give him one more season to prove himself. Resign Javonte Williams, Stewart Move on from Diggs, Steele, Hooker.

Free Agency

-Trey Hendrickson Cincy Edge (his value is about 22 million right now)
-Quincy Williams Jets LB (reunite him with his brother)
-Reed Blankenship Eagles S (solidifies the deep secondary)
-Boye Mafe Seattle Edge (young, inexpensive rotational piece)
-Kelvin Beechum Swing Arizona Swing Tackle (inexpensive, experience Tackle, Guyton/Thomas can still improve)

Draft

Sonny Styles LB Ohio State (rangy, athletic, elite coverage type of linebacker)
Dillion Thieneman Safety Oregon (a versatile safety prospect)
Add another #2 RB for competition, more trench depth
We need CB, CB, CB, S, then 5 more CB’s. Our corners SUCK.
 
I would:
Sign Pickens and Clowney
rework Kenny's deal into a bonus situation

DUMP: Steele, every safety we have on roster, all LBs except O and James and Liafu give them one more year to show something

IN FA: Get two safeties not from any dumpster
a Vet Tackle and two vet lbs and shop for a better RB

Draft: best safety we can get
another DE and the best LB we can get
 
Blankenship is one of those guys that for some reason people overvalue.

The S I'd like is Quentin Lake from the Rams.
I'd give him 4/50 as I think that's what it will take.
 
No one is going to pay him what Wilson is paid and no one is going to pay Wilson that much again, either.
What is your point? Wilson and Blankenship are not good safeties. Neither should be on the team next year.

If you want to get in the weeds as to who is better based on weighting by salary, have at it. Doesn't change the fact if you want to improve/fix the safety position this offseason, Reed Blankenship isn't the answer.
 
Far enough that people have difference of opinions regarding Blankenship, what I saw against the cowboys was when he went out, that is when the cowboys started to have success. Everything is about the box score and you don’t need stars at every position.

I want an impact edge rusher in fa, the rest can easily be filled out
 
Eberflus isn’t going anywhere. Y’all need to accept that. I’d resign Javonte but not for anything crazy. If he wants 10 million + per year he can go. I’d tag Pickens for sure and trade him if a team is willing to part with a 1st and 3rd.

Cut Diggs and maybe Steele. Sign Kam Curl to replace Donovan Wilson. Re-sign Clowney or sign Dre’Mont Jones to replace him.

Draft need to focus on defense and offensive line. I’d take a LB with our 1st and trade the GB pick for a 2nd and 3rd unless a blue chipper falls to that pick. Use the 2nd and 3rd on CB, OT, DE, S in that order depending on who’s available.
 
CUT , TRADE OR DUMP :

DAK ..

thats the best start . get a 1st rd QB , CHEAP !!!


CHEAAAAP !!

AND buy good players to support the team .

Not bad. But what are we doing at CB? We have some of the worst in the league…I keep seeing this ignored.
 
More than once, I’ve heard the commentators during the game mention things to the effect of the Dallas DBs being used to, or better at man (they aren’t always right, I get that). If that’s in fact the case, why are we playing so much zone, and/or why was Eberflus hired?

Eberflus was a terrible hire .
