I think as we look at the NFL as a whole, we see that the Philadelphia Eagles are a much better-run organization than the Dallas Cowboys.
Howie Roseman does everything in his power to win games at the highest level, including the Super Bowl last year.
At the same time, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones seems to make some very questionable decisions on multiple fronts.
It also sounds like the Cowboys and Eagles understand how big of rivals they really are, and the possibility that Micah Parsons may eventually want ` to play there.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Cowboys included a poison pill in their deal with the Green Bay Packers that would prevent Parsons from being sent to the Eagles. If he were traded to the Eagles, it’d require the Packers to give up their 2028 first-round pick to the Cowboys.
“Unbeknownst to everyone except the few who crafted the August blockbuster trade that sent Parsons from Dallas to Green Bay was a "poison pill" condition that, according to sources involved with the deal, prevents the two-time All-Pro from playing for Philadelphia in the immediate future.
“The previously unreported condition states that if the Packers decide to trade Parsons to a team in the NFC East -- the Eagles tried to trade for him in the summer before being rebuffed -- then Green Bay would owe Dallas its 2028 first-round draft pick, sources involved in the trade told ESPN,” he wrote.
This was relatively new news to everyone, as it hadn't been initially stated.
However, while I understand why the Cowboys did it, I also think this is a pretty funny way to show the Eagles just truly how terrified they are of them.
It's evident that the Eagles are a much better team than the Cowboys at the present moment, but for a Cowboys team that's built on winning as well due to prior success, it feels like Jones really took a step back in that department.
If he was making the right trade, why would he not want Parsons to go anywhere?
I think we all know the answer to that, as it was evident that he didn't make the right trade when he did it with the Packers.
