Cowboys Announce Major Roster News Before Cardinals Game
All eyes are on the Dallas Cowboys, set to play the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9 of the NFL season. As the Cowboys prepare for a matchup against the Cardinals on "Monday Night Football," Dallas announced some big news regarding the roster. On Monday, the Cowboys announced that they have activated center Cooper Beebe. Beebe entered the season as the starting center, serving as an anchor for the Cowboy's offense and quarterback Dak Prescott's right-hand man. He returned from injured reserve as is designated to return to the Dallas Cowboys after suffering an ankle and foot injury early in the season. Cooper BeeBe has been with then Dallas Cowboys since 2024. He was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft and has since emerged as one of the Cowboy's top players. Beebe played college football for the Kansas State Wildcats from 2019 to 2023. He was a First-Team All-American in 2022 and a unanimous All-American in 2023 for the Wildcats. The Cowboys' center was also a Three-Time First-Team All-Big 12 player during his college days at Kansas State. Dak Prescott will now have his starting center back, who should give the Dallas Cowboys more security on the offensive line. The Cowboys have already proven to have one of the best offenses in the NFL and it just got better. Several other stars who have flourished this season include George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb and Javonte Williams. Pickens and Williams are playing in their first season with the Cowboys.

Matt LaFleur spills the beans on what the Packers really plan to do ahead of the NFL trade deadline
Eagles-Saints Trade Speculation Doesn't Make Sense
The Philadelphia Eagles have already pulled off three trades ahead of the National Football League trade deadline over the last week with time for more. The trade deadline is one of the most interesting times of the year because there is endless speculation out there and mock trades as well. Some make perfect sense. Others, not so much. For example, Yahoo Sports senior writer Frank Schwab made a list of eight mock deals he wants to see. One involved the Eagles getting cornerback Alontae Taylor from the New Orleans Saints. "CB Alontae Taylor to Eagles," Schwab said. "The Eagles made a move to help their pass rush, but cornerback depth is still an issue. They acquired cornerback Jaire Alexander in a low-cost move, but there's a reason the Ravens were willing to move him. Cornerback Michael Carter was added too but the Eagles should be aiming higher. Taylor would fit in well, and he has been rumored to be possibly on the move with the Saints season continuing to get worse." This type of deal doesn't make sense for Philadelphia The Eagles' cornerback room was a big question, but after the additions of Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter II, that no longer is the case. The Eagles have Cooper DeJean, who they could move to the outside if they really wanted to, although that doesn't seem likely after the additions at this moment. Vic Fangio recently talked about the idea and sounded hesitant even before the trades. But, still, DeJean is there along with Adoree' Jackson and Kelee Ringo. The Eagles have the draft capital to get a deal done if they really wanted to and Taylor is a talented player, but at this point, cornerback isn't an issue for the team any longer. The Eagles addressed the pass rush too. With time running out before Tuesday's deadline, the Eagles don't need to do anything splashy any longer. If the Eagles are still looking, the next thing that would make sense is adding another depth offensive lineman. Injuries have been a problem this season, so preemptively adding someone could be a nice luxury. But, the Eagles' roster -- at least on paper -- looks ready for the stretch run and doesn't need a third corner before the deadline.
Chiefs have a no-brainer trade target after loss vs. Bills
The last time the Kansas City Chiefs lost four games in a season, they went on to make the Super Bowl and beat the San Francisco 49ers. Six years have passed since, and Andy Reid's team will have to make some adjustments to replicate that fortune. That's especially evident after another heartbreaking regular-season loss to the Buffalo Bills, which exposed what might be the Chiefs' biggest flaw on offense: a lack of an explosive running game. That's why they need to pick up the phone and reach out to the New York Jets to trade for Breece Hall. Chiefs need to trade for Breece Hall According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Jets are more than open to trading Hall, who's in the final year of his contract. "The Jets have been getting calls on RB Breece Hall for a while, and while there is interest, New York is looking for at least a third-round pick in return," wrote Russini. Hall is just 24 years old, and while he had a major injury as a rookie, he's been pretty durable since. This season, he's up to 117 carries for 581 rushing yards and two touchdowns, averaging 5.0 yards per carry. He also has 21 receptions on 30 targets for 178 receiving yards. The Chiefs average 121.2 rushing yards per game, the 12th most in the NFL. That's with Patrick Mahomes accounting for one-third of their rushing yards, though. Neither Isiah Pacheco — who's currently out with an injury — nor Kareem Hunt has been efficient, and rookie Brashard Smith might not be ready to take on a bigger role. The Chiefs ran for just 79 yards against a Bills defense that gives up the fourth-most rushing yards per game (141.4), and Hall could certainly fix those woes.
Marcus Spears jokes about Howie Roseman after latest Eagles trade: ‘I hate him’
The Philadelphia Eagles got the ball rolling over 24 hours before the NFL trade deadline. Jaelan Phillips will join the Eagles via the Miami Dolphins, adding an impact pass rusher. It’s the type of move we have come accustomed to from Philadelphia general manager Howie Roseman in recent years. ESPN’s Marcus Spears is fed up with Roseman, at least when he has his Dallas Cowboys fan hat on. Spears is just like plenty of other people in Dallas, watching their bitter NFC East rivals continue to push for Super Bowls. “I hate Howie,” Spears said. “I hate him. I’m so sick of him. I’ve been sick of him for a couple years now… Howie knows I don’t hate him. I actually admire the way he goes after winning championships and does not wait. You think about the Eagles for the last four years — going to Super Bowls, having opportunities to win them. He’s made a significant trade, at some point, in all of those seasons.” Roseman lifted the Lombardi Trophy in February, then watched the banner be unveiled at Lincoln Financial Field before the Eagles and Cowboys played. Philadelphia emerged as a winner, starting their Super Bowl defense 1-0. Now, the record sits at 6-2 overall in a wide-open NFC, and Roseman appears to have his sights on another championship. Spears has nothing but respect for the way Roseman conducts business. You have to imagine many across the league feel the same way. But they may just express it in the same way Spears did, coming at it with a little jealousy. Dallas Cowboys yet to make move ahead of NFL trade deadline This one may even sting a little more because Dallas is searching for a player who can get after quarterbacks too. Philadelphia wound up sending a third-round pick to Miami, something the Cowboys do not currently have. The Pittsburgh Steelers have that due to the George Pickens trade. Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones hinted, if not told us, something is on the way soon. When speaking to Stephen A. Smith on the radio, Jones claimed a trade is done and will be released on Tuesday, just hours after the team plays on Monday Night Football against the Arizona Cardinals. “Immediately it will have him on the field and it will address some of the things that have been our shortcomings,” Jones said via Jon Machota of The Athletic.
