DALLAS (105.3 The Fan/AP) - Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence put his two cents in after the Philadelphia Eagles signed quarterback Carson Wentz to a big-money long-term deal.
The richer they get, the better it feels when we humble they a**.

"The richer they get, the better it feels when we humble they a**," Lawrence tweeted.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Eagles are giving Carson Wentz a four-year, $128 million contract extension that includes guarantees worth more than $107 million. Wentz's total deal is now six years for $154 million.
Lawrence signed a contract extension of his own this offseason, agreeing to a five-year, $105 million deal in April. So they'll both have plenty of opportunities to face off against one another over the next several seasons.
Wentz's time with the Eagles has been a roller coaster. From a top pick to a potential MVP candidate in 2017 to the injured reserve list, Wentz has seen plenty of highs and lows. Though he played a large role in the team winning the Super Bowl in 2017, he ended each of the past two seasons on the bench due to serious injuries -- a torn ACL in 2017 and a fractured back in 2018.
The Cowboys are 3-2 against Wentz in the games he's started.
