The Eagles and Cowboys are both targeting a cornerback valued at $9 million.

Eagles Training Camp Notebook: A Super return, a sign of a great teammate,  and Sunday's practice higlights

The Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys are two teams who could stand to use upgrades in the secondary.

The Eagles have dealt with injuries to Jakorian Bennett and Adoree' Jackson at the cornerback position, and rookie safety Andrew Mukuba has been among the worst graded safeties in the league according to Pro Football Focus

The Cowboys, meanwhile, are dead-last in passing yards allowed so far, and only the Cincinnati Bengals have allowed more passing touchdowns. Of course, it doesn't help that Trevon Diggs and rookie Shavon Revel are dealing with injuries, but the unit has been bad as a whole. 

The trade deadline is rapidly approaching, though, and there could be some solid players available in the secondary. Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report identified Roger McCreary as a realistic option for the Eagles or Cowboys. 

McCreary is one of the best players on the lowly Titans. However, the Titans are among the worst teams in the league and McCreary is headed for free agency after the season. 

Knox offered the following about McCreary: 

As Knox mentioned, McCreary isn't elite per se, but he's been a reliable contributor and is still young. Knox mentioned a fourth-round pick as realistic compensation for the corner. 

In Philadelphia, McCreary could play as the nickel corner while Cooper DeJean moves to the outside. Even when healthy, Adoree' Jackson hasn't been good, so McCreary would definitely be an upgrade. 

In Dallas, McCreary could provide insurance while Diggs and Revel attempt to get healthy. The corner could even become a long-term part of the secondary as nobody other than Diggs or Bland has cemented themselves as a part of the future unit. 

The Cowboys and Titans have already made one trade this year as the Titans sent linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. to the Cowboys back in the spring. 

So far in 2025, McCreary has played in all seven games and has 30 tackles, two pass deflections, and one interception. Pro Football Focus gives McCreary a solid 67.6 grade for his performance so far in 2025. 

Owner David Tepper Admits He Lacks the Competence to Run Football Operations
Can you believe it? David Tepper, the "notorious" owner of the Carolina Panthers, has finally "confessed" a truth that team fans have been waiting for years: He doesn't have enough ability to handle everything himself! But hold on, this isn't a "disaster" – it's a "positive twist" that's saving the Panthers! Is Tepper "letting go" to let the team soar? Read now to uncover the "secret" behind this shocking statement! David Tepper, the billionaire famous for his "deep interference" style in the Carolina Panthers, has undergone an astonishing positive change in ownership. Instead of "micromanaging" every decision like before, Tepper is now less involved, allowing football operations to run independently under the guidance of experts. The result? The team is achieving stability and success beyond expectations, currently tied for first in the NFC South with potential to return to the playoffs after many "sinking" seasons! At the annual charity event Joy to the Carolinas on December 9, 2025, Tepper expressed confidence in the organization's new direction, implicitly admitting that he's not a "superhero" who can run everything himself. He said: "It's not bad at all. It's pretty good; it's all just building blocks, and we'll see where we go. We'll see what happens. We think, as I've said, Dave Canales, Dan Morgan, Brandt Tilis, and everyone in the organization, we're building something special in Carolina. And we've built it outside the community. We're building it on the field, so that's the overall picture. Hopefully, we can continue and have that for many years. That's what we're looking for." This "confession" is actually a wise acknowledgment: Tepper recognizes past mistakes when pushing for quick results, leading to a series of disastrous failures like continuous coach firings and poor draft choices. Now, he supports his professional picks – like head coach Dave Canales, general manager Dan Morgan, and vice president Brandt Tilis – without "interfering." Instead, Tepper focuses on infrastructure (like stadium upgrades) and community efforts, transforming himself from a "demanding boss" to a "silent supporter"! The Panthers are exceeding expectations at the end of the season, with solid gameplay and higher team spirit than ever. Optimism is spreading without the "must-win now" pressure – something that once caused the team to "break apart" under old Tepper. Fans, after years of "disappointment," now appreciate Tepper's enthusiasm and improved role as a true asset. Many fans on social media comment: "Finally, Tepper knows to 'let go' – and the Panthers are soaring because of it!" Some even predict that if this approach is maintained, the Panthers could become the "big boss" of the NFC South for many years to come. But is this "admission" a sign that Tepper is about to sell the team? Or just a "ploy" to appease fans? The Panthers ownership scandal is "hotter than ever" – and Tepper's words could change the team's history! What do you think, is Tepper really "incompetent" or is he "playing fair"? Comment now and follow for the next NFL "drama"!
