  • Micah Parsons needs new Cowboys contract to copy Xavier Worthy: “Who can do this for me?”

    Micah Parsons needs new Cowboys contract to copy Xavier Worthy: “Who can do this for me?”

    Micah Parsons might be a defensive monster on the field, but off it? He’s got his eyes on luxury-and he wants the Dallas Cowboys to help foot the bill.

    The three-time Pro Bowler took to social media this week after Xavier Worthy, the Kansas City Chiefs’ breakout rookie receiver, went viral for showing off his jaw-dropping, custom-built garage.

    Worthy‘s video, which quickly racked up millions of views, features a garage floor designed with art that captures key moments of his football journey-from high school highlights to his record-setting 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, and now his rookie year in the NFL.

    Parsons, clearly impressed, reposted the viral clip with a not-so-subtle request:

    “Who can do this for me?”

    The Cowboys‘ star is clearly itching to upgrade his own setup-but there’s one major catch: he still doesn’t have a contract extension.

    Parsons watches Worthy shine-on and off the field

    Xavier Worthy isn’t just winning in the real estate department. On the field, the rookie wideout made a name for himself in 2024, stepping up in a depleted Kansas City receiving corps.

    He logged 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns during the regular season-but it was his electric Super Bowl performance that truly turned heads: 157 receiving yards and two touchdowns, helping the Chiefs dominate.

    Micah Parsons, meanwhile, is coming off a season where, despite continued individual dominance, the Cowboys once again fell short in the playoffs. He’s now entering a pivotal offseason-one that could shape his long-term future with Dallas.

    The Cowboys have yet to offer a new contract to Parsons, who’s widely considered one of the best defenders in the league. Without an extension in place, Parsons has become more vocal online and in interviews-subtly turning up the pressure on team ownership to secure the deal he wants.

    Cowboys drama and future moves

    The offseason hasn’t been smooth for the Cowboys. Following their playoff exit, Mike McCarthy was let go, signaling yet another reset in Dallas. Veteran DeMarcus Lawrence then exited in free agency, signing with Seattle-and sparking a mini-war of words with Parsons on social media.

    Despite the noise, Parsons is focused on the upcoming season, and he’s eager to return with a vengeance. The Cowboys also hold a key pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, offering them the opportunity to add new firepower and reshape their roster.

    But one thing is clear: Parsons wants to win-and he wants to get paid. And if that custom garage is any indication, he wants to win off the field, too.

  • Jerry Jones' Draft plan: Boosting defense with a Top-50 prospect as Micah Parsons ally

    Jerry Jones' Draft plan: Boosting defense with a Top-50 prospect as Micah Parsons ally

    Dallas Cowboys fans, buckle up-things are getting juicy in Big D. Word around the campfire is that owner Jerry Jones has his sights set on a top-50 draft prospect to juice up new defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus‘ unit. This buzz dropped just as the team’s navigating a whirlwind of updates-or lack thereof-on Micah Parsons‘ contract. With a 7-10 flop in 2024 and a defense that leaked 27.5 points per game, Jones is clearly itching to shake things up.

    The draft chatter centers on South Carolina linebacker Demetrius Knight Jr., who turned heads at his Pro Day on March 19. At 6’2″ and 245 pounds, Knight’s a tackling machine-82 tackles, eight tackles for loss, and a clutch pick against Clemson in 2024.

    He would leave! Micah Parsons admits that he would not be part of the Dallas Cowboys if this happens

    Eberflus, rocking a poker face tighter than a new pair of boots, reportedly scoped him out personally. “Knight’s versatility? Think Micah Parsons Lite,” an insider mused, hinting he could blitz like a tornado and shore up a shaky D. With the Cowboys holding the No. 12 pick, Jones might just see Knight as the missing piece to get that 31st-ranked defense back in the saddle.

    Meanwhile, the Micah Parsons contract saga is a rollercoaster. The All-Pro edge rusher, entering his fifth-year option at $24 million, is due for a mega extension-think $40 million a year after Myles Garrett’s Browns deal set the bar. “There’s definitely a plan in place,” Parsons said after a chat with Jones, per dallascowboys.com, keeping it vague but hopeful.

    Jones targets Knight amid Parsons talks

    Yet, his brother Terrence’s cryptic X post-“Micah was true to his word…“-has fans buzzing. Trade rumors? Extension delays? Stephen Jones isn’t helping, muttering, “The goal is to get it done when you can,” via ESPN. Classic Cowboys timing-slow as molasses until the clock’s ticking.

    Jones isn’t just banking on Knight to save the day-he’s got faith in Eberflus too. The ex-Bears head coach brings a 4-3 scheme with “high energy” and “zero tolerance for not running to the ball,” Jones told Yahoo Sports. Pair that with Parsons’ 52.5 career sacks and Knight’s upside, and you’ve got a recipe for chaos-good chaos-for opposing QBs.

    Fans on X are hyped, with one tweeting, “Knight and Parsons? That’s a scary front seven.” Whether Jones locks down Parsons or rolls the dice on this draft gem, the Cowboys’ offseason is shaping up to be a wild ride.

  • The fight between DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons shouldn't have left the locker room: 'Dirty laundry is washed at home'

    The fight between DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons shouldn't have left the locker room: 'Dirty laundry is washed at home'

    While most of the NFL world has been focused on free agency, the emerging feud betweenMicah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence has also garnered plenty of attention.

    Parsons remains a Dallas Cowboys player, but Lawrence has moved on and joined the the Seattle Seahawks after signing a three-year, $42 million contract.

    Mighty! Micah Parsons channels his inner beast with real-life lion

    Despite spending several seasons together, tensions came to a head on Friday night when a Seahawks fan posted a video of Lawrence giving an interview for his new team.

    “Change of scenery is always good, but Dallas is my home,” Lawrence told Hawk Blogger. “Made my home there, my family lives there. I’m forever gonna be there, but I know for sure I’m not going to win a Super Bowl there. So, yeah. We here.”

    The move is a big change for Lawrence, who spent the first 11 years of his career in Dallas and was named to the Pro Bowl four times.

    Although Lawrence made it clear Dallas is his home, his comments didn’t sit well with Parsons, who has been with the Cowboys since 2021.

    “This what rejection and envy look like,” said Parsons. “This some clown [expletive].”

    Things escalated further when Lawrence took aim at Parsons’ priorities, as the Cowboys last won a Super Bowl back in 1995/96.

    “Calling me a clown won’t change the fact that I told the truth,” Lawrence wrote. “Maybe if you spent less time tweeting and more time winning, I wouldn’t have left.”

    Cowboys legend weighs in

    This back and forth between two players who have been key figures for the Cowboys hasn’t gone down well with Drew Pearson.

    The legendary Cowboys receiver spoke with TMZ Sports about the matter, and he stated he wished the two would air their dirty laundry away from social media.

    “Too much social media!” said Pearson with his head in his hands, adding that he dealt with similar problems when he was a player – but that things were sorted out behind closed doors.

    “Take care of your business on the field, and the other guys will follow suit,” Pearson said about Parsons, encouraging the pass rusher to keep his focus on the field.

  • Micah Parsons comes to Jerry Jones' rescue as fans react to Deebo Samuel trade to Commanders

    Micah Parsons comes to Jerry Jones' rescue as fans react to Deebo Samuel trade to Commanders

    The leak of the trade of Deebo Samuel from theSan Francisco 49ers to the Washington Commanders indirectly hit the Dallas Cowboys because of criticism from some fans towards Jerry Jones, who had to be defended by one of his stars, Micah Parsons, who has also been the focus of online criticism, as there are those who are calling for his departure.

    The Commanders’ deal for Samuel is pending a physical, and cannot be made official until the offseason begins on March 12.

    He would leave! Micah Parsons admits that he would not be part of the Dallas Cowboys if this happens

    Meanwhile, user RJ Ochoa criticized in a post on his X account that while the Cowboys invested a fourth-round pick to get Jonathan Mingo, the Commanders got Deebo Samuel in exchange for a fifth-round pick, an opinion that did not sit well with Micah Parsons and he responded.

    “Washington pocketed almost $22 million with Deebo’s contract this year! This has no relation!” Parsons replied, although according to Sportskeeda he was inaccurate, as for 2025 Samuel‘s contract is $17.5 million, while the 49ers will assume $31 million of the dead salary cap and lose $15.1 million in salary cap space.

    Another partner for Jayden Daniels

    The Commanders will add Samuel to their offense, bolstering the group of receivers that will accompany quarterback Jayden Daniels in his second season in the NFL. Samuel arrives after a campaign in which he had 51 receptions, 670 yards and three touchdowns with the 49ers.

    Washington, who reached the NFC Championship Game before falling to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, entered the offseason with one of the three largest amounts of salary cap space. General manager Adam Peters had some wiggle room and decided to use some of those resources to secure the arrival of Samuel.

    The receiver, who signed a three-year extension with the 49ers in 2022, has accumulated 334 receptions, 4,792 yards and 22 touchdowns since debuting with San Francisco in 2019. However, his continuity with the California team was thrown into doubt when, at the end of last season, he requested a trade during a meeting with coach Kyle Shanahan.

    The AP news agency recalled that San Francisco had already explored the possibility of trading him the previous offseason, but no offer was attractive enough to make the move.

  • Brian Schottenheimer does not dare to contradict Jerry Jones and expresses his opinion on the future of Micah Parsons

    Brian Schottenheimer does not dare to contradict Jerry Jones and expresses his opinion on the future of Micah Parsons

    As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the 2025 season, Brian Schottenheimer is set to manage several high-profile contracts but one key uncertainty is the future of their star linebacker Micah Parsons, so what does the new head coach think of extending his stay?

    Along with those of quarterback Dak Prescott ($160 million) and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb ($136 million), another major deal looms on the horizon for Jerry Jones to shell out but Schottenheimer remains cautious discussing such a financial commitment.

    He would leave! Micah Parsons admits that he would not be part of the Dallas Cowboys if this happens

    Speaking at the NFL Combine on Thursday, Schottenheimer acknowledged the complexities of NFL contracts but refrained from offering a strong opinion on Parsons‘ expected extension, effectively deferring the matter to Jones entirely.

    “The business of the NFL has become so big,” Schottenheimer said. “And again, it’s a two-way street.

    “There’s negotiations and sometimes those negotiations take time, [so] it’s our job to focus on the guys that are there. It’s part of the business.

    “We’re always going to start with our guys. We know them, right? We’ve got history with them. We’ve developed (them).

    “We understand their strengths, their weaknesses, what they bring to the table from a culture standpoint.

    “So, again, it all depends on how things go. It’s a very competitive business, a very competitive time of year.”

    Alongside Parsons, defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa is another player whose contract extension is anticipated, but based on the comments of Schottenheimer, it may not be the news Cowboys fans are looking for.

    Schottenheimer looks ahead to working with Klayton Adams

    With his promotion to head coach, the Cowboys needed a new offensive coordinator and that role has now been filled by Klayton Adams, who was previously the offensive line coach for the Arizona Cardinals.

    Adams played a key role in their top-10 rushing offense in 2024 and Schottenheimer spoke highly of his new colleague and his ability to contribute to the Cowboys‘ offensive strategy.

    “This guy is just incredible in terms of his foundation of teaching fundamentals, and he’s been a kind of a fast riser,” Schottenheimer said. “I remember meeting him a couple years ago in Indianapolis and just walking away from the conversation and being like, okay, that guy’s different.

    “He’s a guy that I’ve been tracking, and if ever given the opportunity to be a head coach and being the play caller, a guy like this would complement me in some areas that I quite honestly need to be complemented.

    “I’ll be good for him because I did this for the last two years with Mike [McCarthy], and I think we’ll work very well together.”

  • Micah Parsons claps back at podcast haters: 'Why the double standard?'

    Micah Parsons claps back at podcast haters: 'Why the double standard?'

    Micah Parsons has made a name for himself as one of the most dominant defenders in the NFL. With 52.5 sacks in just four seasons, the Dallas Cowboys linebacker is already on a Hall of Fame trajectory. But while his play on the field is nearly undisputed, his presence off the field has sparked plenty of debate-especially when it comes to his podcast, The Edge with Micah Parsons.

    The weekly show, hosted through Bleacher Report and boasting 4.5 million YouTube subscribers, has made Parsons one of the most visible personalities in the NFL. He’s far from the only active athlete running a podcast-names like Travis Kelce, Maxx Crosby, and even NBA stars like Draymond Green and Jalen Brunson do the same. But somehow, Parsons keeps catching heat for it.

    He would leave! Micah Parsons admits that he would not be part of the Dallas Cowboys if this happens

    That criticism ramped up again this week when two NFL legends-Lawrence Taylor and DeMarcus Ware-suggested that Parsons should spend less time talking and more time focusing on football. Taylor, widely regarded as the greatest pass rusher of all time, didn’t hold back: “He’s a great player. But guys, let’s do more. Let’s play more football and less podcasts.”

    Ware, a Cowboys great himself, took a more direct approach. In an interview with Fox Sports, he said that if he were on the Cowboys’ coaching staff, Parsons’ podcasting days-at least during the season-would be numbered.“He probably won’t be doing it during the season, I know he won’t be. Because he’ll be too focused on getting to the quarterback and just wreaking havoc in the backfield.”

    Parsons fires back: ‘Why is my podcast a problem?’

    Parsons didn’t let the criticism slide. In an X post Thursday, he fired back: “Lol i wonder do people hate my podcast because it’s actually good or do people hate it because it’s bad?? Because hella people in the NBA and NFL have podcasts and no one has a problem.”

    This isn’t the first time Parsons has drawn criticism for speaking out. Back in November, he took issue with head coach Mike McCarthy after a blowout loss to the Eagles, a move that drew harsh words from ESPN analysts Rex Ryan and Damien Woody. Ryan called Parsons’ comments“total BS,” while Woody sarcastically referred to him as “podcast boy” and questioned whether he had lost respect in the locker room.

    The debate over Parsons’ podcast isn’t just about media appearances-it’s happening as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. With the Cowboys expected to negotiate a lucrative extension, questions are swirling about whether his off-field presence could impact his future in Dallas. Some analysts believe Jerry Jones and the Cowboys front office won’t care as long as Parsons continues to dominate on Sundays. Others wonder if there’s a growing tension over how he balances football with his expanding media brand.

    For now, Parsons doesn’t seem interested in backing down. Whether that becomes a problem for the Cowboys-or just more noise for him to tune out-remains to be seen.

  • Micah Parsons talks to the wall and the Cowboys don't plan to do anything different next season

    Micah Parsons talks to the wall and the Cowboys don't plan to do anything different next season

    Micah Parsons’ call to action to encourage and put pressure on the Dallas Cowboys, which should have awakened Jerry Jones from the lethargy in which he has found himself for many years, does not seem to have found the desired responses, as there is no sign that the franchise owner is going to make moves contrary to his way of doing things.

    They say that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, and that applies to Jones, who remains true to his strategy of not looking at free agency, nor looking for names that could solve the serious problem of a team that continues to boast greatness when in the last three decades it has not played a single championship game and much less a Super Bowl.

    Shedeur Sanders Reaction to Field Yates Latest Mock Draft Of Him And Cam Ward

    In Dallas, things are done Jerry Jones’ way

    And it’s that, aside from the many committed players they have, the Cowboys cling to people like Dak Prescott who hasn’t made the difference but continues to get paid as if he did, and they also pay stratospheric figures that are compromising their salary cap, with the aforementioned QB, CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons, who by the wayspoke a few days ago and asked for something that made noise, but as expected found no response

    “I want to see us be aggressive and I want to see us get players that help us, that come in and have an impact. I don’t want to sit back and watch other people build and build and we stay the same, so we definitely need a call to action,” said the defensive player.

    Again, free agency will be overlooked

    There has been a lot of talk about Prescott’s contract being restructured, but there has not been a word about the possibilities that Dallas has in sight after the availability of figures such as Myles Garrett and Deebo Samuel, so a question arises in the face of the tangible possibility that Parsons will sign an extension. Why would he do it if his voice is not heard in the Cowboys?

    That’s precisely the point of FS1 commentator Emmanuel Acho, who doesn’t see Parsons signing when the essentials in Dallas aren’t done, an opinion that was added during the week to comments from former QB Chase Daniel, who doesn’t see the utility of spending so much money on so few people, including Micah Parsons.

  • Micah Parsons trade rumors are rocking the Cowboys as CeeDee Lamb reveals where he stands

    Micah Parsons trade rumors are rocking the Cowboys as CeeDee Lamb reveals where he stands

    The Dallas Cowboys believe they have a roster that is good enough to compete for a Super Bowl in 2025 — even if most observers don’t think they are close to challenging the Philadelphia Eagles next season. That said, there is no doubt that a healthier and more motivated Cowboys team can make some noise in the NFC, though opinion varies on just how loud that noise will be.

    Trading star edge rusher Micah Parsons would put a damper on things for Dallas, just after the franchise got over the “PR nightmare” associated with the hiring of Brian Schottenheimer as the franchise’s new head coach. According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Cowboys are having “internal discussions” over dealing Parsons before owner Jerry Jones has to hand him a market-setting contract extension. Such a move would go down badly with Cowboys fans…and star receiver CeeDee Lamb, who himself had a contract standoff with Jones last year.

    Lamb: Dallas drought won’t end without Parsons

    Lamb has spoken out on X/Twitter about the recent Parsons rumors. The four-time Pro Bowler rhetorically asked if the rumors “every offseason” weren’t tiring, and he insisted that if the Cowboys are to win ball games in 2025, they need Parsons to stick around.

    Parsons has been selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his four NFL seasons, and he has 52.5 sacks in just 63 career games, which speaks to his dominance when healthy. In each of his first three seasons, Parsons finished top three in Defensive Player of the Year voting, and it could be a generational mishap for Jones not to pay him — especially after the Cowboys’ longtime owner handed out market-setting extensions to Lamb, Trevon Diggs, and Dak Prescott.

    Parsons understands that any team with championship aspirations must have a strong defensive front — something the Eagles used to great effect as they took down the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. Everyone knows that Dallas is desperate to end its 29-year Super Bowl drought — trading Parsons would take the Cowboys further away from that goal, unless Jones can swing a star player in return (which, let’s face it, feels highly unlikely).

  • Micah Parsons and the grudge he holds against the Giants: “They lied to me, I have something personal against them”

    Micah Parsons and the grudge he holds against the Giants: “They lied to me, I have something personal against them”

    Penn State has become an important hotbed of NFL figures, including the new Offensive Player of the Year, New York Giants defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence II, and one of the most dominant defenders today, Micah Parsons, one of the Dallas Cowboys’ figures, who revealed that he has a personal problem against the New York Giants, because this team took his two teammates in the Draft and he was passed over in 2021

    The G-Men decided to pass up the opportunity to recruit Parsons in 2021, moving up in the draft and allowing the Cowboys to land the Penn State star, while the Giants took wide receiver Kadarius Toney with the 20th overall pick, which turned out to be a disappointment and potential failure with Evan Neal with the additional first-round pick obtained from the Bears.

    “I’ll never forget it,” Parsons said Thursday at the press conference for Super Bowl 2025.“Honestly, playing alongside Dexter Lawrence, I’d probably already have 60 career sacks. He’s an incredible guy.”

    Cause trouble! Taylor Swift’s involvement causes conflict between the Kelce’s and their work team

    If playing without Lawrence, Parsons is the most dominant figure in the Cowboys defense and has 52.5 career sacks in his first four seasons, the number he raised of 60 is an exaggeration.

    He also highlighted the work that Lawrence does as he frequently receives double or triple coverage and still manages to generate chaos for opposing offenses, making a great partnership with Kayvon Thibodeaux. “If I were Kayvon, I would line up next to Dexter Lawrence at all times, I would do my best move at all times,” Parsons said. “You have to be a player who gets 10 sacks. I would line up next to Dexter because there is no way they put [only] two hands on Dexter Lawrence. We’re talking about a nose tackle who has gotten nine sacks in nine games. You have to be serious,” he said

    He wouldn’t even take the Giants in a video game

    Parsons is in New Orleans to promote the EA Sports Madden Bowl, which pits two expert gamers against each other and hands out a $1 million prize on Friday night at The Orpheum Theater.

    Parsons is an avid Madden player and said that he doesn’t even select the Giants as his team in the video game after what the Draft meant to him

    “The Giants lied to me. People don’t know this: they told me that if I fell to the 11th pick, they would choose me. I swear. That’s why I punish the Giants every time. It’s personal for them,” Parsons later told CBS Sports

    This, even though Parsons himself had said some time ago that he did not hold a grudge against the Giants

    Regarding the selection of Parsons, several sources indicate that at that time, the Cowboys were not interested in selecting him and did not expect him to be available for the No. 11 pick

    The Cowboys moved from No. 10 to No. 12 and still got Parsons, who was part of three straight 12-5 seasons before his return in 2024 prompted a coaching change.

  • Micah Parsons speaks out after stunning Cowboys decision on Mike McCarthy

    Micah Parsons speaks out after stunning Cowboys decision on Mike McCarthy

    The Dallas Cowboys are heading into an offseason filled with uncertainty following a decision that left many fans-and players-shocked. Mike McCarthy, who has served as head coach for the past five seasons, is officially parting ways with the organization after contract extension talks fell through. The unexpected move has drawn emotional reactions, including a heartfelt response from star linebacker Micah Parsons.

    Parsons, one of the Cowboys’ most prominent leaders, shared his thoughts on the sudden departure during an episode of his podcast, “The Edge.” Reflecting on McCarthy’s impact, Parsons didn’t hold back his emotions.

    “Losing Coach Mike is devastating,” Parsons said. “He’s been an incredible father figure, a great coach, and one of the winningest in the game. This isn’t just about football-it’s personal for a lot of us.”

    The bond between McCarthy and his players extended beyond the field. For Parsons, who has played his entire NFL career under McCarthy, the loss signals not just a leadership change but also the end of a significant chapter. Parsons acknowledged McCarthy’s role in fostering a winning mentality within the team.

    “He’s always treated us well. Losing someone like that hurts. It’s going to be a reset for us, no doubt. But I trust the organization to make the right choices moving forward,” Parsons added.

    Despite his disappointment, Parsons emphasized the importance of staying focused and maintaining a championship-driven culture. As the Cowboys’ defensive captain, he remains committed to leading by example.

    “We’ve got to keep moving forward. As players, we’re responsible for building a winning culture. Coaches can only do so much-it’s up to us to get it done on the field,” he stated. “I’ve said before that we’re going to hold the Super Bowl trophy, and I believe that with everything I’ve got.”

    McCarthy couldn’t get Dallas over the hill

    McCarthy leaves Dallas with an 84-49 record, including three playoff appearances and two NFC East titles. While this past season saw the team slump to a disappointing 7-10 record, McCarthy’s tenure was largely successful, with a career winning percentage of 60.8%.

    For Parsons, McCarthy’s departure marks the end of an era defined by personal and professional growth. Under McCarthy’s leadership, the linebacker blossomed into one of the league’s most dominant defensive forces, earning Pro Bowl honors in each of his four seasons while amassing 52.5 sacks and 256 tackles.

    The Cowboys now face a pivotal offseason as they search for a new head coach. For Parsons and the rest of the team, the challenge ahead is clear: to adjust, rebuild, and deliver on their championship aspirations.
