Why the Dallas Cowboys can’t compete with the Eagles long term

The Dallas Cowboys went on a contract signing spree this past offseason. They signed four players, running back Ezekiel Elliott, linebacker Jaylon Smith, tackle La’el Collins and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence to contracts totaling nearly $313 million over 22 years term.

The Eagles have had a similar contract signing spree this season. They signed five players, quarterback Carson Wentz, center Jason Kelce, tackle Lane Johnson, guard Brandon Brooks and defensive end Brandon Graham, to contracts totaling nearly $321 million over 18 years term.

The game on Sunday didn’t decide the division but took the playoffs out of Dallas control.
