Former Cowboys Free Agent LB Praises Eagles Fans on TV: ‘Everyone Wants to Watch Philly!’ - Hints at Dream Move

Philadelphia, PA – It’s not every day that a former Cowboy speaks highly of Philadelphia, but that’s exactly what happened this week on live television. Appearing as a guest analyst, one veteran linebacker turned heads when he praised Eagles Nation for their passion and loyalty.

The comments came unprompted, as the discussion centered on fanbases across the NFL. When asked which city he thought had the strongest following, the ex-Cowboy didn’t hesitate. He pointed directly to Philadelphia, calling the city’s fans “relentless” and “impossible to ignore.”

The segment immediately lit up social media. Eagles supporters took to X and Instagram to circulate the clip, with many wondering aloud if the linebacker’s words were more than just compliments. Some even speculated whether it was a hint at future plans.

Philadelphia has a reputation for making bold roster moves, and the linebacker’s admiration for the fanbase only fueled the conversation. With the Eagles always looking for veteran leadership, the timing of his remarks couldn’t have been more intriguing.

That veteran is Eric Kendricks. The former Cowboys free agent has long been respected for his leadership and consistency. ““When you turn on the TV and there are only two games on—one featuring the Philadelphia Eagles and the other featuring any random team—80% of people will definitely be watching the Eagles game.”

For Eagles Nation, the comments were more than just flattery. They were a reminder of how the team’s culture and fanbase continue to command respect across the league. Whether Kendricks ever puts on midnight green or not, the speculation has already begun.
