Getty Images As a former (for now) college football coach begins publicly expressing interest in a high-profile NFL job in Texas and continues privately laying the foundation for a high-profile college job in California, he shouldn’t spend time thinking about a high-profile college job in...

Nelson Agholor explained what some interpreted as a lack of effort late in Sunday’s loss to Dallas. The Eagles receiver also appeared unbothered by the outside criticism. “Man, I’m a professional,” Agholor said Tuesday, via Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal. “I know I work hard. At the...

Getty Images Urban Meyer recently talked publicly about his interest in coaching the Cowboys. Other coaches (including the one who currently coaches the Cowboys) would regard that as a faux pas. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones regards it differently. “For Urban Meyer to say that is a compliment,”...

Getty Images It was exactly a year ago today the Cowboys addressed the need for a receiver with a trade for Amari Cooper. They gave up their first-round choice in 2019, which Oakland used to take safety Johnathan Abram with the 27th overall choice. Assuming they re-sign Cooper, who is in the...

Getty Images The Eagles didn’t show up Sunday night against the Cowboys. They fumbled on their first two possessions, falling behind the Cowboys 14-0 on their way to a 37-10 loss. Apparently, showing up late is an ongoing problem in Philadelphia. Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson called out...

Getty Images The Eagles tried to trade for cornerback Jalen Ramsey last week, according to an ESPN report. The Jaguars instead traded Ramsey to the Rams. It’s obvious the Eagles still need help at the position. Dak Prescott passed for 239 yards against the Eagles on Sunday night. Cornerback...

Getty Images Not long ago, the candidates for the 2019 NFL MVP award consisted of Patrick Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes, and Russell Wilson. Now, Mahomes’ injury could make his own chance at winning the award a much more difficult proposition. So with seven weeks in the bag, let’s...

Getty Images Last week, we tried to identify the players who would not be traded for the Jalen Ramsey package: An offer of two first-round picks and a fourth-round pick. As the Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott continue to move week by week toward the expiration of his rookie contract...

Getty Images The Cowboys front office repeatedly expressed public support for Jason Garrett last week in the midst of a three-game losing streak. Both Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones said Garrett’s job was not on the line in Sunday’s game against the Eagles. They weren’t lying. The Cowboys...

Getty Images Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz didn’t mince words about the way he and his teammates performed on Sunday night in Dallas. “We didn’t show up,” Wentz said, via the Morning Call. “They beat the crap out of us.” The Eagles are 3-4 and appear to have an uphill climb to the playoffs...

Getty Images It’s a good thing Doug Pederson’s guarantee wasn’t a “guarantee” since his Eagles failed to deliver. Pederson said on the radio Monday morning that the Eagles are “going down to Dallas, and our guys are gonna be ready to play, and we’re gonna win that football game, and when we...

Getty Images Cowboys safety Xavier Woods downplayed a run-in with an Eagles athletic trainer in the first half of Sunday’s game. “It was really nothing. It was nothing,” Woods said. Woods was penalized for a hit on Eagles receiver Alshon Jeffery on the Eagles’ only touchdown drive. Officials...

Getty Images The Cowboys never formally addressed Doug Pederson’s guarantee that wasn’t a guarantee, according to a source. They didn’t need to. The Cowboys were fully aware that the Eagles coach said on the radio last Monday that the Eagles are “going down to Dallas, and our guys are gonna be...

Getty Images Eagles coach Doug Pederson doesn’t regret saying what he said. “Nope. No,” Pederson said after the Eagles’ 37-10 loss to the Cowboys. Linebacker Zach Brown badmouthed his former teammate, Kirk Cousins, before the Eagles’ Week Seven game against the Vikings. A day after the...

Getty Images The Cowboys lost weakside linebacker Leighton Vander Esch and defensive end Robert Quinn during Sunday’s game. Vander Esch left with a neck injury, watching the second half on the sideline in street clothes. Quinn went out with a rib injury Cowboys owner Jerry Jones does not...

Getty Images The Cowboys played without both of their starting offensive tackles in last Sunday’s loss to the Jets, but it looks like they’ll avoid that fate against the Eagles this Sunday. Left tackle Tyron Smith and right tackle La'el Collins were listed as questionable after returning to...

Getty Images It’s entirely possible if not likely that the Cowboys won’t fire coach Jason Garrett during the season. But claims from ownership that Garrett won’t be fired during the season are hardly the best evidence of it. Stephen Jones recently told NFL Network that Garrett won’t be fired...

Getty Images The Cowboys aren’t at full strength with cornerback Anthony Brown (hamstring) and defensive end Dorance Armstrong (neck) among their inactives. But it’s almost a best-case scenario. Receiver Amari Cooper (quad), left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle), right tackle La’el Collins (knee)...

Getty Images Many coaches would never comment publicly about a job that is currently filled by someone else. Urban Meyer is not one of those coaches. Appearing Friday on Colin Cowherd’s radio show, Meyer made it clear that he’s interested in the Cowboys job. “That’s New York Yankees, that’s...
