Who are the best players we ever got from Philly and Dallas?

Anakim : 10/2/2022 10:48 am
Either via trade or free agency.

From Washington, it’s clearly Antonio Pierce. But what about from the Eagles and Cowboys? Is it Everson Walls from the Cowboys? Sure as hell wasn’t Carlos Emmons or Brian Mitchell from the Eagles.
Two

who stand out from Dallas are Everson Walls and Steve DeOssie.
Steve DeOssie.

From Dallas
Forgetting about Chris Canty

from the Cowboys. Ron Stone also comes to mind along with Walls. Walls showed up at the right time but both Canty and Stone were better for a longer term perspective. Only a year but I'll throw out Marcus Bennet.

Can't think of any players that we got directly from Philly so I'll throw out DRC who made a pitstop between locations. You did say players so he doesn't count but I'll throw out Spags. I love Coughlin but he really didn't have a good track record of selecting DC's. Spags was his best.
Ron Stone

Cowboys - Ron Stone. Snagged a good player who couldn't unseat a hall of famer.

I honestly can't think of a former Eagle who stood out as a Giant

Stone and Canty were who came to mind from Dallas. Martellus Bennett too, though his time in blue was brief.

Shawn Andrews looked like he was a steal at OG until his back issues returned.

Didn't we get Brian Mitchell?
Not a player...

But it has to be George Young.
p.s.--They owed us for Tom Landry!
George Young

came from the dolphins
I have to mention Craig Morton as a very good player from Dallas.  
Giants61 : 10/2/2022 12:04 pm : link
The problem was the rest of the team was so awful at that time that Morton, as good as he was, could not salvage the team
Jessie Armstead is from Dallas.

Oh, you meant the Cowboys?

Yes, and he stunk as a Giant.

I forgot about Shawn Andrews. He did look very good in those few games before he was injured again.

Mike Patterson was an okay DT for us for a couple of years. Best I can do for someone who played more than Andrews.
Not a player

and nothing of the communicable sort from Philly, but we did hire Spags away from Philly before the two SB runs.

from a well done Herschel Walker to a never was in Carlos Emmons, we never got a good player from Philly
Emmons wasn't a "never was"  
Greg from LI : 10/2/2022 12:16 pm : link
He was a solid player for the Steelers and Eagles who was washed up by the time he arrived in Jersey.

Banks : 10/2/2022 12:18 pm : link
I disagree. I never thought he was good in Philly
