FRISCO – There is, to us, a wide gap between “innocuous” and “incendiary.”

But in covering a move of a Dallas Cowboys lineman to a new job, we have apparently closed that gap.

The case study here? The journeyman Chuma Edoga.

The accusation? He’s about to “sabotage” his new team “from the inside.”

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

As the Cowboys work to remodel their offensive line, one guy out the door is Edoga, the 6-3, 315-pound former third-round pick of the New York Jets.

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, took a stab at trading for him at one time.

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.

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.

Good for him, right? Not to our pals at fan site SportDFW, where they are not only roasting poor Edoga but are also launching conspiracy theories about him.

They predict that his deal will “age ugly” and that Edoga “is on track to sabotage his new team from the inside.”

We get “age ugly.”

“We don’t get “on track to sabotage his new team from the inside.”

There is no devious plot here. Nor is there evidence that Edoga 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.

That – and not espionage – is our prediction for the future of Chuma Edoga.
