More than any player in recent history, Micah Parsons has clamored for his intentions to be a Dallas Cowboy. Whether that be through his staunch defense of his Cowboys’ colleagues or his strong verbal commitments to the franchise itself.
Supplementing his convincing words is the evidence on the field. Specifically during the 2024 season, Parsons’ refusal to punt on the season sparked a mini rally toward the end that helped reshape the outlook on the season if only slightly.
Parsons want to contribute to winning and wants that to happen at The Star. Based on reporting from NFL.com earlier on Sunday, there is at least a possibility that his bosses could potentially think otherwise.
While these are the hottest that the trade speculations have gotten around Parsons, nothing has shifted his attitude toward the team in his four years with the Cowboys. Yet, the state of the modern NFL has made remaining in the same place for an extended period more of a challenge for non quarterbacks.
If somehow Parsons becomes available down the line, he wants nothing more than a homecoming to Pennsylvania to join the Pittsburgh Steelers. “I said if I ever returned home, it was going to Pittsburgh,” Parsons said during Super Bowl week.
Part of that reasoning rests in Parsons desire to play for Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, also making them a clear choice over the in-state foe Philadelphia Eagles. Nonetheless the former Penn State Nittany Lion would want to be back home if forced out of Dallas.
Based on the way extension talks drew out with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb last offseason though, the process may not be as seamless as some would hope for a player among the best on his side of the ball.
So perhaps a homecoming could be in his future if the Cowboys suddenly seek out a drastic change. However, is reason holds and Parsons gets what he wants, he will call The Star home for a long time.
