Eagles, Cowboys Set for Fierce 2025 NFC East Race

Philadelphia Eagles star A.J. Brown publicly praised the Dallas Cowboys' trade for wide receiver George Pickens, highlighting how the pairing with CeeDee Lamb will intensify NFC East competition. Brown noted that this duo presents a significant challenge and will force both the Eagles and Cowboys to raise their performance levels. The Cowboys have further bolstered their offense with additional draft picks and key free-agent signings, aiming to overcome their playoff shortcomings. Despite these upgrades, ESPN projections still favor the Eagles to win the NFC East. The Eagles, fresh off a recent Super Bowl victory, have also extended head coach Nick Sirianni's contract and rehired Joe Douglas to their front office. Both teams are gearing up for a highly competitive 2025 season in the NFC East.
