Cowboys Lineman Signs With New Team Amid \u2018Sabotage\u2019 Accusation<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

FRISCO – There is, to us, a wide gap between “innocuous” and “incendiary.”<\/p>\n

But in covering a move of a Dallas Cowboys lineman to a new job, we have apparently closed that gap.<\/p>\n

The case study here? The journeyman Chuma Edoga.<\/p>\n

The accusation? He’s about to “sabotage” his new team “from the inside.”<\/p>\n

Yes, this sounds like a dopey plot from a crummy spy movie. And frankly? It all is sort of “dopey” and “crummy.”<\/p>\n

As the Cowboys work to remodel their offensive line, one guy out the door is\u00a0Edoga, the 6-3, 315-pound former third-round pick of the New York Jets.<\/p>\n

Edoga was a starter there in his rookie season of 2019 but then faded. At the same time, the Cowboys scouting department always liked him, a took a stab at trading for him at one time.<\/p>\n

But then he joined Dallas via free agency in 2023 and ended up doing his job; Edoga ended up making five starts while playing all 17 games in that first Cowboys season. Last year, injuries rendered him mostly a non-factor.<\/p>\n

And yet after two seasons with the Cowboys, the veteran offensive guard hooked on with the Jacksonville Jaguars on a two-year, $7 million contract near the beginning of this offseason’s free agency window.<\/p>\n

Good for him, right? Not to our pals at fan site SportDFW<\/a>, where they are not only roasting poor\u00a0Edoga but are also launching conspiracy theories about him.<\/p>\n

They predict that his deal will “age ugly” and that Edoga\u00a0“is on track to sabotage his new team from the inside.”<\/p>\n

We get “age ugly.”<\/p>\n

“We don’t get\u00a0“on track to sabotage his new team from the inside.”<\/p>\n

There is no devious plot here. Nor is there evidence that\u00a0Edoga is some sort of a bad egg. He is projected to be a backup offensive lineman in Jacksonville, where he will continue to carve out a nice life for himself while going unnoticed, as backup offensive linemen in Jacksonville tend to do.<\/p>\n

That – and not espionage – is our prediction for the future of Chuma Edoga.<\/p>\n
