I just don't see teams tripping over one another in a mad dash to give Philly a significant haul of early first-round picks or highly prized youngsters to go along with cap flexibility and quality veterans.

I hope you're right. I hope the desire to get this guy is quite low and Dallas can swoop in and grab him on the cheap. I think that you might find yourself surprised though considering his talents and age.
The haul? I am certainly not sure about that and I already said as much in a similar thread as his stats this year (and to a lesser degree last year) could play a role in hurting Philly. But suitors? Again, I hope you're right, but I fear you're not.
