The Dallas Cowboys and star edge rusher Micah Parsons find themselves at a pivotal moment after the four-time Pro Bowler requested a trade amidst protracted contract extension discussions. Teammates have demonstrated their support for Parsons by adjusting their social media profiles, opting for photos of him, indicating a united front in this tense negotiation period. Players like Trevon Diggs, DeMarvion Overshown, and Juanyeh Thomas showed their endorsement by changing their profile pictures to those of Parsons.

CeeDee Lamb, who faced his own contract challenges last year, voiced his opinion on Parsons’ situation, initially expecting a swift resolution. However, following Parsons’ trade request, Lamb adopted a more direct stance.

“Never fails dawg. Just pay the man, what you owe him. No need for the extra curricular 😒”

“7|11 4L” commented Diggs, referencing their jersey numbers with a nod to lasting friendship @TrevonDiggs.

Former Cowboys great Dez Bryant, with experience in contract negotiations, offered motivation for Parsons, suggesting he should remain steadfast.

The response to Parsons’ trade request resonated throughout the NFL, igniting conversations about his future potential with teams outside the Cowboys, with some teammates even celebrating the possibility.
