Since Jeffrey Lurie bought the Philadelphia Eagles in 1994, the organization has been one of the most successful in the sport.
After 20 years of title contention and a dominant run to Super Bowl LIX, some think that this "league of parity'' has seen enough of the Eagles in a dominant role.
That thought comes from a discussions at the owners meetings ...
Ari Meirov on X/Twitter noted the league engaging in a discussion to potentially alter how teams are able to manipulate the cap to their benefit.
"In short: Owners are already looking ahead to potential changes to keep the system fair, competitive, and free of loopholes," Meirov said.
No team has manipulated the cap better than the Eagles. With Lurie's large checkbook and Howie Roseman's excellence as the team's general manager, Philadelphia has built one of the best and deepest rosters in the league.
A big part of that success is the team's ability (and the owner's willingess) to pay large signing bonuses and write big checks compared to other teams in the league that might be more frugal. They also have no concern over pushing dead money into later years to get rid of struggling players. ... a "credit-card mindset'' that Roseman does not find troubling.
Philly hasn't reinvented the wheel here; the Eagles just keep the wheel spinning faster than most, that's all.
This is all possible because of Lurie's intention to build a Super Bowl winner in Philadelphia. And after two title teams in 10 years? Well, the Eagles are among the most dominant franchises in the league.
So the NFL might change the rules to close the loopholes?
Consider that a compliment to Roseman and Lurie and Philadelphia.
