Dallas Cowboys fans have heard it their entire lives: No one takes bigger risks than the owner of America's Team, Jerry Jones.

As seen in the team's new Netflix documentary, Jones is still living off the high of making one of the greatest trades in NFL history that most of his new fans weren't born to witness.

However, as of late, the Cowboys really haven't been the risk takers that they like to be known as. Instead, it's the Philadelphia Eagles who are taking all the chances.

You know, the team that just won the Super Bowl, and has two championships and three appearances in the big game since the last time the Cowboys went?

On Sunday, NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that the Eagles are still taking all the risks, hoping for another big award.

Schefter reports that the Jacksonville Jaguars are sending offensive tackle Fred Johnson back to his former team for a seventh-round pick.

Johnson was with the Eagles this past season, and it appears the team can't get enough of his talents in Philadelphia -- especially after the offensive line struggled during the preseason finale.

A Cowboys team, which may need some depth up front on the offensive line, is seeing one of its most hated rivals do exactly what Dallas needs. Can we just get to Week 1 already?
