Micah Parsons has apparently told Jerry Jones the type of players he wants around him
At some point this offseason the Dallas Cowboys just might hand out the biggest defensive contract in NFL history. This is true because for the first time in his career, Micah Parsons is eligible for a contract extension.
It has long been assumed that Parsons will set NFL records with his eventual deal. He has been an incredible player for the Cowboys since they drafted him in 2021 (after initially trading down in the first round with the Philadelphia Eagles, adding to the legend). While this is the case, Parsons’ teammates, CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott, are also in the new contract game with the Cowboys, Parsons also has other wishes in terms of player acquisition.
The weekend was a busy one for Parsons as he was named MVP of the NBA’s All-Star Celebrity game and appeared on The Stephen A. Smith Show. During his appearance, he was asked if he ever informs Jerry Jones as to the type of players he wants around him. Jump to about the 5:10 mark to see the quoted portion.
Stephen A.: You brought up how you want to be a part of the culture in terms of picking the kind of players that y’all need. Is that something that you’ve mentioned to Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones? Like, yo, let me see. Let me play a role. Who are we bringing on this squad? Mentally. Do you approach them about stuff like that?
Micah Parsons: Yea so that’s what I like about J. I think J’s one of the best, GMs, like owners that I’ve been around. And not even just that I’ve been around because I’ve only been on one team. But from what I’ve heard from other NBA and NFL players. And it’s just like the Super Bowl… Jerry see’s me walking out the Wynn. Jerry was at the Wynn. He says, ‘Hey, you going to the Super Bowl?’ I said ‘Yea, I’m going.’ He said, ‘Come see us.’ And I was like, ‘Hey you got any extra tickets? I’ve got some homeboys that want to come.’ Jerry sends me four extra tickets to the Super Bowl suite. And we just sit and talk from before the game until the whole half about players I want to be in, players I want to be around. Who do I need? Who do I want to be with? Future of our team. And that’s just dope to have that type of feedback with an owner that loves to hear your ideas and what you think and where the team can be. Jerry’s been pretty amazing like that with my family and stuff like that. I have had them conversations with him and we spoke for two, three hours this Super Bowl alone.
It is fairly normal to ask the most important players in your franchise for their opinion, especially if you plan on giving them a record-setting contract themselves. Parsons has checked all of the boxes in terms of on-field production over the course of his first three seasons in the NFL and his opinion is certainly valuable.
Parsons has never been shy about letting his opinion on anything be known on social media or his podcast, so it stands to reason he would feel confident giving it to someone who he feels can make a difference in the most important job that he has.

After deadly crash, loved one questions suspect’s actions at scene
New arrest documents show an alleged drunk driver tried to flee the scene after a crash that killed two men in Dallas early Sunday morning.
Dallas police arrested 22-year-old Isaac Chacon and charged him with two counts of intoxication manslaughter and two counts of collision involving death. Investigators say he collided with another vehicle at Military Parkway and North Jim Miller Road just before 2 a.m.
One man died at the scene. Another died after being taken to a nearby hospital.
“I don’t think somebody should have lost their life for the price of an Uber. Just don’t drink and drive,” Monique Dawson said.
Dawson’s boyfriend, Orinthius Deante Brown, was one of the victims. She said they had been together for more than a decade.
A day after his death, Dawson reflected on their last conversation and one she wished they had.
“If you love somebody, talk to them because you never know when it’s going to be the last time. When I woke up Sunday morning, I had a couple of missed calls from him, and I just brushed it off like, I’ll just talk to him later. We’re gonna spend all day together. I don’t know if I’d be on the phone with him all day. I’m busy cooking and tired. I’m gonna talk to him next time, and it’s never going to be a next time. It’s never gonna be a next time, that’s it,” she said.
Dawson said Brown was a father of three who often helped others.
According to an arrest affidavit, Chacon tried to flee immediately after the crash, but witnesses detained him until police arrived.
“What if instead of trying to run away, he ran toward the people he hit and tried to help?” Dawson said.
Dawson said anything less than life behind bars would not provide justice for the victims’ loved ones.
“That was my person, and now he’s gone,” she said.

What we learned in FC Dallas’ win vs DC United
FC Dallas didn’t just win on Saturday night in the nation’s capital, they controlled the match from start to finish.
In a 4-0 road victory over D.C. United, Dallas delivered one of their most complete performances of the season. They paired clinical finishing with a much-needed defensive response after giving up six goals in the previous two games. This match was a clear reset for the club. They were organized in the back, dangerous in transition, and absolutely ruthless in front of the goal.
Let’s dive into some of the key aspects of this shutout win.
Road performance for the ages
Let’s get to the fun stat from this one, curiosity of the club’s media/PR team. This victory was the second-largest road win in club history. The club’s only larger road win came on Aug. 16, 2014, when Dallas won 5-0 at the San Jose Earthquakes.
Just as we saw two weeks ago against Houston, Dallas came out with strong energy, good momentum and a classy touch from Logan Farrington before his fourth goal of the season.
At the end of things, it could have easily been a five or six goal outing. After five games of just Petar Musa and Farrington finding the back of the net for Dallas, we can now add some other names to the mix on the season. For me, that was a big sign of progression out of this group. Yes, Musa and Farrington continued to score, but so did some other players.
Seeing how this group closed out this game is also a big point of emphasis. No slip ups. No foot off the gas pedal. Just a full push from start to finish.
“The five subs really came on and changed the game for the better, which is what we asked for them to do. And it’s a beautiful performance. Some great spells of football that I just think we’re growing and I love where we’re heading, but I’m proud of the complete team, defending set pieces, attacking set pieces, transitions, everything was honest with us tonight, and they deserve this four goal win.” – Manager Eric Quill
Take note of the momentum bar there in the middle of that graphic, aside from three-ish spots, FC Dallas dominated this game from start to finish.
