It's always kinda funny watching the true Cowboys homers respond to this stuff with "b-b-but the Eagles will be in total cap hell 2 years from now!!!!!!!! Just watch!!!!!!!11".

...no they won't. They'll restructure their way out of the problem like any competent front office with a brain. Absolute worst case scenario, they eat cap shit for a year or two then start all over again. Also, they're championship contenders NOW, so who gives a fuck what the cap looks like in a few years?

It's my theory that "salary cap hell" is nothing but jargon used by front offices to deflect from not wanting to make any moves i.e. Dallas every single year. You are absolutely right, any front officer worth a damn can manipulate the cap numbers. For one, the salary cap rises every single year. A $X amount hit this year isn't the same cap hit percentage wise even next year and all down the line. Eagles sign any player they want in free agency. They make trades. Able to pay all their guys they want. But we don't have a true front office with a real GM. Dallas refuses to utilize free agency except bargain hunting after all the good players are taken. When we make trades, we get the short end of the stick on both sides.

Take the Rams for example, they went all in for 2021 season and it paid off. The goal is to win it all, and they did it. Only won a few playoff games since then (still more than Dallas lol) but who cares. Dallas has no idea how to balance their future and present day. Eagles are set up to win today and in the next 5 years.

Salary cap hell is only a thing if the players suck.  As long as they are productive and an asset on the field for a contending team you will manipulate the cap to make room for them.  Once their production is gone then you get yourself in cap hell because you just want to offload them.  That being said the Cowboys don't manipulate the cap even when they are good.  They are always bottom in the league in actual cash expenditures.

"The cap" is so meaningless in all of this, it's just enron accounting. "The cap" or "cap hell" has never hindered any franchise ever. Jerry and his inability to attract a good coach is the first and foremost problem with this franchise. His dealings in other areas as well "the cap" being pretty low on the list.
