Green with envy: Moves the Cowboys should consider making if they want to be more like the Eagles - Blogging The Boys
When you look at organizations, the Dallas Cowboys are not the Philadelphia Eagles. They operate very differently, and with the success of the Eagles, it’s hard not to get caught up in wanting the Cowboys to be more like their divisional foe. Call it frustration or call it being green with envy. Whatever it is, fans want something different. So, let’s talk about that. Let’s imagine Jerry Jones is in a cold dark room somewhere steaming over not having what the Eagles have. Pretend he wants to win really bad and would consider changing his approach to give his team a real shot. Whether that’s a hypothetical you can wrap your mind around, that’s what we’re doing today. Without getting too crazy and creating scenarios beyond disbelief, what can the Cowboys do this offseason that would give them a better chance of reaching the Super Bowl?
Is a 2025 turnaround by the New York Giants possible? - Big Blue View
I am hopeful that Schoen will begin to follow the teachings of the Howie Roseman School of Cap Management. Roseman, GM of the Super Bowl champion Eagles, was out front in the use of void years to push money into the future and lower current cap costs. He uses that philosophy more, and better than anyone. The Eagles have a league-high $390.4 million cap dollars assigned to void years. Schoen’s Giants are one of only two teams that don’t have a single contract that includes any void years. I understood why Schoen did that in his first couple of offseasons as he tried to clean up Dave Gettleman’s cap disaster. Now? It’s time to play the game and not leave any tools in the tool belt when it comes to improving the roster. A couple of year ago, Roseman explained why he leans so heavily into void years. It’s an interest-free loan.
Report: Eagles DB coach Christian Parker interviewing for Saints defensive coordinator job - BGN
The New Orleans Saints are interviewing Philadelphia Eagles defensive passing game coordinator/defensive backs coach Christian Parker for their defensive coordinator opening on Kellen Moore’s coaching staff, according to a report from NFL insider Albert Breer. Parker joined the Eagles last year. He previously worked on Vic Fangio’s Denver Broncos coaching staff during the 2021 season. Parker has been viewed as a rising assistant. He reportedly interviewed for two defensive coordinator openings last offseason before landing in Philly. Parker only strengthened his resume in 2024 as part of the Eagles’ top-ranked, Super Bowl-winning defense. Rookie cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean especially thrived under his tutelage.
