The NFL has many history-rich rivalries that return fairly just a few a long time. Most stem from throughout the division to regional and even private points between organizations. One of many extra distinguished NFL rivalries over the previous 20 years has been the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles within the NFC East.

All-Professional sort out Jason Peters was a part of that rivalry on the Philly aspect for 11 years. So, in fact, there hasn’t been a lot love from Peters to the Cowboys at any time. Effectively, that’s till now. After enjoying in Chicago for the Bears in 2021, Peters is a free agent and in “talks” with Dallas about becoming a member of the Cowboys, in accordance with NFL Community’s Ian Rapaport.

It wasn’t too way back in ‘18 that Peters referred to as the Cowboys group “boastful” whereas nonetheless in Philly. Peters takes pleasure in trolling Cowboys followers each time attainable. And he’s a Texas native who nonetheless lives close to his hometown of Queen Metropolis, Texas. So, I’d wager he’s out trolling people in his neighborhood each time attainable

“I simply inform them, ‘You wish to see the ring?’” Peters instructed Chris McPherson of Philadelphiaeagles.com in 2019.

Eagles nation received’t be too comfortable about this growth if Peters and Jerry Jones can come to phrases on a deal. Dallas is determined, having misplaced All-Professional left sort out Tyron Smith to a foul leg damage that may maintain him out till December, if not longer. Peters performed 15 video games for the Bears final yr and would convey veteran management.

The Cowboys’ offensive line is nowhere close to what they had been just a few years in the past. At one level, this was thought of one of the best O-line within the NFL. Primarily based on what they’ve on the roster, this isn’t even a high 15 O-line anymore. Peters would assist certain up that line, however at 40 years outdated, Dallas shouldn’t count on any miracles.

If anybody ought to be pushing for Jones to signal Peters, it’s Dak Prescott. He’s the one which will probably be most affected by the lack of Smith. The left sort out is just like the safety guard for a right-handed quarterback. Dak has had the posh of enjoying his total profession with a Corridor of Fame-caliber sort out watching his again. Ask former Houston Texans QB David Carr how important a man like Smith or Peters is to a QB.

Most Cowboys followers received’t prefer it due to the rivalry, however Dallas is in a troublesome place earlier than the season has even begun. Prescott is on a large deal now and protecting him upright is crucial to this group’s success. In the event that they really feel Peters nonetheless has sufficient within the tank, the Cowboys should signal him ASAP.

Jerry can’t drag his ft on this one and permit one other group to swoop in and signal Peters. He’s a Texas man. Get it discovered. Rivalries on the gamers’ finish aren’t what they as soon as had been anyway with free company. Guys are bouncing round between groups like a pinball machine. As soon as a participant enters the twilight of their profession, it comes all the way down to whoever is prepared to pay for his or her providers. By that point, there often aren’t many choices left on the desk.

Jerry, go forward and get this completed; Dak’s and the Cowboys’ season relies on it. Hopefully, Jones discovered after fumbling the potential signing of Bobby Wagner through the offseason.
