BREAKING: The New England #Patriots are close to signing former #Cowboys CB Stephon Gilmore. A reunion in New England.
The Philadelphia Eagles are realistically considering moving sack lord Haason Reddick because they will soon have to make some tough decisions about how to fit a crowded team under the salary cap. Additionally, an NFL source confirms to CowboysSI.com that the Dallas Cowboys are seriously considering their options for signing Reddick.
“I think that anything you’re trying to do, you’re trying to blend obviously what you’re trying to do this year and how you’re going to look in the future,” Roseman said. “I think that’s the hardest job. I don’t want to get into any specifics with any conversations with players, but (I) have tremendous respect for the player and the person.”
The Cowboys have “respect” for Reddick as well, which is why our source mentions Dallas and Jacksonville as among the teams that are “interested” in making a move. (There are rumors mentioning Detroit, Houston and New England here, but we have not confirmed.)
Among the issues in Dallas? The Cowboys share the same cap concerns as the Eagles do, and Reddick is the subject of trade talk – he was reportedly recently granted permission to seek a suitor (though Reddick denied the specificity of that story) – because of what his salary demands might be. (He’s a $15 million APY standout who it seems wants a raise.)
Additionally, of course, there is the understandable obstacle of Reddick, who will turn 30 in September, being dealt within the NFC East. An Eagles source tells us that (obviously) Philly would prefer to not do that.
And one more thing: Reddick is from Haddon Heights, N.J., just outside of Philly. He played at Temple, right there in Philly. Stranger things have happened, but Reddick in a Dallas uniform would surely feel odd to so many.
