You sir, are very young.

According to team owner Jerry Jones, controversial cornerback Diggs "will be on the field" during the team's Week 14 game at Detroit.

If this comes true - Diggs has been eligible for a week to come off IR after moving off the roster due to a knee and a concussion issue - and if he's anywhere close to where he once was as a player?

This could be a defensive boost along the same lines as the trades for Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams and the post-injury activation of DeMarvion Overshown.

"He'll be on the field,'' Jones said on Friday via 105.3 The Fan, noting that he "wanted to be on the field (in the Thursday win over the Chiefs). "But he'll be on the field at Detroit in my view barring any (setback).''

The Cowboys are 1 1/2 games behind this team in the NFC East. https://t.co/1NxKAeRShO

He will at the very least be good depth for what is a tough Detroit WR group. Also, we are going to have to get a handle on the outside runs, otherwise Gibbs is going to torch us.

The good news is Dan Campbell isn't nearly the play caller Ben Johnson was, and Johnson is now in Chicago. We just have to set the edge on Gibbs and let the front five get after Goff. Goff has had some deer in the headlights moments the last two weeks with Philly and GB...hopefully we make him roadkill next Thursday.

My latest Mock, all D as it turned out:



Keep seeing Sawyer going 3rd to 4th rounds. Good for him if it happens. He has the arm to make the throws. And he can run for sure

So no Arana...

Just thinking. 18 NFL teams will not make the playoffs. That means that one more loss in the next 5 will pretty much guarantee us a Top 18 draft slot. Let's say that Sonny Styles is off the board. But the massive DT Peter Woods, who has been compared to Jaelen Carter of the Eagles is there along with the edge from Tech, David Bailey, Mansoor Delane, the CB from LSU, Jermod McCoy, the CB from Tennessee, T.J. Parker, the Edge fro Clemson, are all there. Do you go for the Best Player Available, Peter Woods which is not at a position of need or do you go another direction?

Of course we will know by then if we are resigning Kenny Clarke.

If so, I would seriously take a shot at Peter Woods. Put him beside Williams and that would be one heck of a DL

A new back is in town as Dallas announced the signing of former fifth-round pick Israel Abanikanda.

Abanikanda was a stud at Pitt, the 5-10, 217-pounder going for 1,431 yards and 20 touchdowns in his final college season.

But he hasn't made an impact in the NFL, as through his first three seasons, the 2023 NFL Draft fifth-rounder Abanikanda has appeared in just six games, all with the Jets.

He's also had a cup of coffee with the 49ers and the Packers, and maybe this is all this amounts to - another body on the practice squad.

Jerry Jones claims Jets turned down absurd trade offer involving Micah Parsons, Quinnen Williams
Originally posted on Pro Football Rumors

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones recently revealed that he offered Micah Parsons plus a first-round pick to the New York Jets in exchange for Quinnen Williams during training camp.

Jerry Jones says Jets turned out incredible trade offer for Quinnen Williams

"I wanted a one and Parsons for Williams," Jones said on 103.5 The Fan. That seems like an absurd offer, but Jones left little up to interpretation.

"A one and Parsons for Williams," he repeated. Later, he added that the deal did not go through because the Jets "did not have the cap room to pay [Parsons]."

Jones also said something similar to WFAA's Ed Werder: "We tried at training camp with the Jets to basically make an exchange that was ready to go, heads up, with Quinnen and Micah and a one, and we didn't get it done."

Parsons, of course, was instead sent to the Packers for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks. The Cowboys later acquired Williams before the trade deadline for a package including a 2027 first-rounder, a 2026 second-rounder and defensive tackle Mazi Smith.

Jones has slowly revealed more and more information about the Parsons trade since it was completed. During a September radio appearances on ESPN New York, Jones said that called the Jets regarding Williams when he was shopping Parsons before the season. The Jets were not interested, he claimed, because they "didn't have the resources to entertain [the] conversation," similar to his pronouncement on 103.5.

If true, Jets made a big mistake

If Jones' latest revelation is true, that means two things. First, he was willing to sacrifice a massive amount of value to move Parsons and acquire Williams. Second, the Jets made a huge mistake in not accepting the deal.

Although Williams is an excellent defensive tackle, Parsons is undoubtedly a better and more valuable player, even at a higher price point. This year, Williams has 2.5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss this season; per Pro Football Focus, he ranks fifth among interior defenders with 40 pressures but 38th with a 12.1% pass-rush win rate.

Parsons, meanwhile, has 12.5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss, plus 67 pressures and a 24.3% pass-rush win rate, both top-three marks among NFL edge-rushers. In his career, he has averaged 0.89 sacks and one tackle for loss per game; Williams' per-game numbers are 0.41 sacks and 0.60 tackles for loss.

Those numbers may not tell the complete story of either player, but it seems like the Jets should have taken Jones' offer. Sure, they would have had to pony up for Parsons' mega-extension, but they were already prepared to move on from Williams. Adding an extra first-round pick on top would also give the Jets an opportunity to add another starter if not a star on a rookie contract. That would help to offset the financial cost of acquiring Parsons.

How realistic is Jerry Jones' claim?

But Jones' words should also be taken with a grain of salt. He has spent a lot of time trying to retroactively justify trading away Parsons, especially after using some of the resulting draft capital to acquire Williams. Claiming that the Jets were not interested in Parsons and a first-rounder for Williams serves to downplay the former's value and boost the latter's.

The idea that the Jets could not afford to pay Parsons does not hold water, either. After his extension, the All-Pro edge-rusher's cap hit in 2025 is just $9.97M. New York certainly could have designed a similar contract structure and absorbed

Perhaps the Jets didn't want to commit so much money to Parsons as they were clearly contemplating a rebuild. Parsons would still be a cornerstone for that effort, but he may not have wanted to weather any losing seasons in the hopes of a future turnaround. But again, adding another first-round pick would have accelerated that process, and a core of Parsons, cornerback Sauce Gardner and wide receiver Garrett Wilson seems like a solid foundation for the Jets to build from. That is an expensive trio, but having elite players at three of the sport's most important positions is a good problem to have.

Instead, the Jets declined the Cowboys' initial offer for Williams before moving him and Gardner at the deadline as part of what appears to be a full-on franchise reset.

The NFL continues to use replay to correct some calls but not to correct obvious missed calls. This creates a credibility problem.

I agree with him in the sense that in that example the spot was challenged saying the QB was sacked...to me once you opened Pandora's box with that review, the fact the QB was brought down due to a foul, tripping, should be considered.

I only saw the replays. It was an obvious screwup but where does it end if you, as you said, open Pandora's Box

"When you look at the three teams currently in the hunt, if I had to rank them, I start with the Cowboys as potentially the most scariest team because of their progression on the defensive side, which has been their Achilles heel over the first two months of the season," McFadden said.

"You don't want to see [the Cowboys]!"@BMac_SportsTalk likes the Cowboys chances to make a playoff push.

Cowboys OC Klayton Adams on the offense doing the Landry Shift during victory formation: “I think it’s pretty cool. In my opinion, I think it’s kind of a respectful thing. I don’t think it’s something you’re doing to shove it in the other team’s face or anything like that. I… pic.twitter.com/Tuf0tfduWG

NFC Playoff Picture

DIVISION LEADERS

1. Bears (9-3) They just beat the Eagles (after earlier beating Dallas) and are in a shockingly good spot.
2. Rams (9-3) They're stunning loss to the Panthers does them damage.
3. Eagles (8-4) The defending Super Bowl champions have suffered back-to-back bad losses against the Cowboys and Bears. Dallas' best shot might be for Philly - which plays at the Chargers next Monday - to keep reeling, opening up a chance for the Cowboys to win the NFC East.
4. Buccaneers (7-5) They seem wobbly, but as usually, they still lead the NFC South.

WILD CARDS

5. Seahawks (9-3) They're in first place in the wild card race, but their final four games are against the Colts, Rams, Panthers and 49ers.
6. Packers (8-3-1) Micah Parsons and company swept the Lions … and that tie against Dallas might come in handy. Hey, it's better than a loss!
7. 49ers (9-4) No team has overcome more injuries to key players than the Niners.
8. Lions (7-5) They've lost three of their last five - so Thursday is just as important to them as it is to the Cowboys.
9. Cowboys (6-5-1) Is this Thursday night game coming against the Lions a "must-win''? The math says "no,'' because if Dallas finishes, say, 4-1 down the stretch, a 10-6-1 record would overtake the 8-4 Eagles should they somehow lose three of five and fail to get to 11 wins.

Pats are good but not as good as people are saying. They play a decent team here and there but their schedule is mainly fluff.

They've only beat 3 teams over .500
