Barring a significant drop or Dallas trading up, the Cowboys will not even get the chance to consider adding him to their defense.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Parsons makes his claims for good reason. A Dallas defensive front bookended with himself and Carter would become one of the more vaunted units across the league.<\/p>\n<p>In the likely scenario where the Cowboys do not end up picking Carter, they will still have to nail their first-round selection as they are in desperate need of younger talent heading into the 2025 season.<\/p>\n<p>Accomplishing that goal would at least satisfy Parsons who wants to build a winner at The Star above all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abdul Carter will be one of the most highly touted prospects leading into April&#8217;s NFL Draft, but Micah Parsons has made it clear he wants the Dallas&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18282,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
