In about two weeks, the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys will start the 2025 NFL season. Will Micah Parsons be part of the festivities?
Cowboys do not show their nerves.
“I think that at the end of the day, we have the impression that Micah is going to be there when we are going to queue against Philadelphia in 15 days.” Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer said.

Confidence is Dallas’ key, but Schotenheimer’s words are nothing more than a head coach who explains a desirable scenario.
Parsons wanted a new Dallas agreement in the past year. The cowboys preferred that he will remain patient. Jerry Jones thought he had a handshake in place, but the reality was that Parsons did not feel comfortable with the way the negotiations took place.
Discussions on contracts have retained again. Parsons made some public statements, clearly indicating that he was frustrated. Jones retaliated and caused a spectacular outcry, which then led Parsons to say to the world that he had submitted a commercial request. The veteran no longer wanted to play for cowboys.
Start remains around cowboys while the offseason takes place. So far, he has shown no sign of wanting to play. He could take a new agreement to be done before the Rusher Star Pass could not be accompanied and puts his body on the line. Even if Parsons is against the Eagles, the rust of the week 1 would be difficult to shake when you have not seen any action live since last season.
Again, no worries about the recruit head coach.
“He takes great care of his body. Once again, you would like it as soon as possible, but Micah will be prepared,” Schotenhei told journalists.
“Micah knows his body as well as anyone, and the best thing he is here is that he was able to do part of the walk, he was able to be in meetings, he understands some of the different calls and the different packages and the things that we are going to use, and that’s a huge advantage.”
The Eagles will have all the possible advantages next month. They open the year at home, in front of a crowd which is still justified in a victory of the Super Bowl. Cowboys have a quarter that has not played since early last season. Then, the situation of Micah Parsons is a blatant weakness for a team that has a lot to prove next year.
Dallas hopes that the third scenario is not really a problem. Anyone who pays attention understands that the situation is far from ideal.
