Cowboys
Cowboys EDGE Micah Parsons is in the final year of his rookie contract before his fifth-year option in 2025. Now that CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescottโs extensions are finalized, heโs confident heโll have a contract extension finalized in Dallas.
โI know Iโm going to be a Cowboy,โ Parsons said, via ESPN. โThereโs nothing like Cowboy Nation. I think the love is very mutual. As for me, Iโm just focused on winning games. I want to win those big games. I want to win those playoff games and get to the Super Bowl. For me, the contract is not really what Iโm worried about.โ
Parsons was glad to see Prescott and Lamb get their extensions done so they could turn their focus toward the regular season.
โWeโre happy it gets done because now, it puts a lot of talk to the side,โ Parsons said. โWeโre like, โMan, we got our quarterback now.โ We can really just focus, like Dak said, on winning games. โฆ So having our guys, CeeDee Lamb, and Dak done, it means the world to us.โ
Parsons praised Prescott and thought he was completely deserving of his contract.
โDak is that guy, no BS,โ Parsons said. โHe deserves everything that he [gets]. He never cheated the game, he comes in every day with a positive attitude and a great work ethic, and heโs always first one in, last one out. Consistently being the best person/player you could possibly be. He never cheats the game, and thatโs the most important part. So when a guy like that gets his money, you say he earned every single dollar. I could not be more happy for him.โ
Eagles
Eagles HC Nick Sirianni gave an extensive response when asked about what WR Jahan Dotsonโs role in the teamโs offense would be going forward.
โWhat I thinkโs going to be unfair to that third guy is, he pass game runs through A.J. and DeVonta,โ Sirianni said, via Zach Berman. โI donโt know how many times Iโve said the same thing over and over again: the pass game runs through DeVonta, A.J., and Dallas. Sometimes that guy gets unfairly judged because he doesnโt have the opportunities that other people get. I feel really good about Jahan. First-round pick. Obviously, we traded for him and feel really good about him. Heโs a smooth route runner. Everything like that. I just think that position is unfairly judged at times just because they donโt get the opportunities that these other guys are going to get because when you have players like A.J., DeVonta, and Dallas on your team, thatโs just the way it goes sometimes. But in this case, if he has to step up and play more meaningful snaps, I got a lot of confidence in him because heโs done a nice job. Heโs done a nice job. We can only judge him on the things heโs done since heโs been here. Heโs done a really good job since heโs been here. Really good practices. Excited for his opportunity as the third receiver, second receiver, whatever it may be for each week. Iโm excited for him when heโs going to get his opportunity because heโs going to make some big plays thatโs going to help us win some games.โ
