Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said, "They know how we can configure for X-amount of people. Then they'll come back to us with what they want which night."
In April, ESPN reported Dallas has emerged as the favorite to host the 2018 NFL Draft. But that was before Philadelphia put on a perfect show. ESPN reported Philadelphia is also in contention while Kansas City and Green Bay "are considered long shots."
So it looks like a two-horse race: Eagles vs. Cowboys, before the season even starts.
