The Dallas Cowboys became the heat of the moment after a high tide of rumbles. The team has had big rivalries among franchises, but nothing was more significant than the one with Philly. As it turns out, an Eagles Legend visited inside the Blue Star and is a part of the team. But the Twitter universe is seeing the bold move taken by the franchise.

After Tyron Smith hit the roadblock, Dallas Cowboys had to make up for the spot. With desperate times come desperate measures, as they made some calls to arch nemesis, Jason Peters. New reports suggest that the future HOF-er is now a Cowboy and is back in his hometown.
NFL Insider Ian Rapoport tweeted that the Cowboys have come to terms with offensive tackle Jason Peters. Another year awaits the 40-year-old who would assist Dallas in a time of esteem needs. The former Eagles standout currently lives in Texas and is going to play for his local team.

Moreover, ESPN’s Todd Archer adds that the experienced OT would join the team’s practice squad. Because Peters did not attend training camps, they will use this approach to ease him into the job.

Jason Peters, who spent 11 years with the Eagles and played 15 games for Chicago last season, joined with the Cowboys on Monday and started blending into practice. As he adjusts to a new team, Dallas has addressed their OT void.
Dallas Cowboys Nation is not happy with the new development
The Dallas Cowboys did their best to address one of their serious voids. However, the NFL Universe is rubbing it in the wrong way. The Cowboys Nation is particularly concerned about having an aged athlete on their roster.
A user claimed that the team is in peril if they have to contract a 40-year-old lineman, five years past his peak since their first-round choice was terrible.
You're in trouble when you have to sign a 40 year old, 5 years past his prime tackle bc your 1st round pick is so bad….

A user made a bold claim that JP despises Dallas. He will not play a single snap, and will simply take their money.
JP hates Dallas. He not gonna play a snap. Just taking their money.

A user said that Jason Peters is so washed up and that the Cowboys are desperate.

Ex-NFL Athlete Ross Tucker saw JP playing in the practice squad back in 2004 and added that he was a TE.
Last time he was on the practice squad was 2004. 😳
And he was a tight end. 🤷♂️

Another user claimed that the OT will suffer a false start on the season’s first play before getting hurt three games later.
