The contract extensions talks between Demarcus Lawrence's camp & Cowboys reportedly happening next week probably won't get too far unless a Dallas offer is more than Olivier Vernon's 2016 deal ($17M-avg/$52.5M in guarantees/$40M-fully GTD). Lawrence & Vernon have the same agent.

Hayes Phil.com: Eagles assistant Duce Staley doesn't need your pity
“Staley earned interviews with head coaches who have known him for almost 20 years. Eagles coach Doug Pederson, Staley’s former teammate and fellow assistant and current boss, chose receivers coach Mike Groh. Pederson gave Staley the title of assistant head coach, but Groh remains above Staley on the coaching roster.

Giants head coach Pat Shurmur, an Eagles assistant when Staley was a player, a fellow position coach when Staley started coaching, and Staley’s boss as offensive coordinator in 2013 and 2014, chose Mike Shula.

Shula is the son of Hall of Fame NFL coach Don Shula. Groh is the son of former NFL coach Al Groh, who was the Jets’ head coach in 2000. As young coaches, both Groh and Shula worked on their fathers’ staffs. Both have coached to some distinction, but let’s face it: Sometimes it’s not just whom you know, but whom you spend Christmas with...”
