Twitter: McCarthy: Micah missed opportunity to bond with teammates during OTAs

[Streifenkarl]

The usuals will say it's no big deal. Mike seems to be bothered by it especially since it's a new defense

It wasn't a big deal until the head coach took note. Now it is. And I'm with him. If you're for real you take EVERY opportunity to practise with your team. Every single one.

He only showed up that day to film stuff for the jumbotron and the Sunday night/Monday night TV intros.

Why should the players give 100% when the front office doesn't?

I mean, you would think with the new with a new defensive coach and scheme, he’d want to be there at least learning. I get voluntary OTA’s but you can’t help. Kind of wonder. What’s really important to him.

I get it. But the way Parsons is run down at the end of the year, they should wrap him in bubble wrap and only let him on the field during game days. Maybe he won't be "tired" during the playoff game.

I mean, that’s such a great message to send to the rest of the guys out there working hard. Just trade the guy for some pics and be done with it. Get people that want to be here and I wanna put the work in with the rest of the guys at least that’s how I see it.

He came in hungry like a lion but now seems to be just another diva. The dude has yet to be paid and already acting bougie. Buyer Beware!

Maybe he just figured that if the Cowboys don't care about winning then why should he? Too bad. He's talented enough to at least attempt to try to change the culture on this team. Now he's just one of the guys who disappears when the real games begin.

I see the hate club for one of the best pass rushers in the NFL who has had one of the best starts to a career for any defensive player in NFL history has arrived.

Oh so the fans can’t question this supposed star player not showing up and being a leader? I mean it’s not on the player at all, right? It’s not like he hasn’t shown us who he is and what’s important to him.

Honestly, I think Fans care more about the OTA and such than the players. And I don't blame them, it's a business. Why risk injury when you aren't being paid to be there anyway. The owners get to treat it like a business when they are done with a player, so I am not going to be mad at players for doing the same thing.

Sure if you’ve been in the system for three years, but it’s a brand new defense and new coaches and new players. I mean one would think it would make sense to be there. They’re in shorts against air doing mental reps film study. I would say those things are pretty important and not at risk for injury in most cases.

Not kidding at all, if you were gm what would you be willing to trade to take Parsons?
Would the fact that he’s looking for a new contract impact what you would be willing to give up?
Would his playoff performances to date concern you ?
Would the questions about his priorities concern you, what he most interested in football or his brand?

I got nothing.

I got nothing.

Of course you do

 

[mattjames2010]

There are so many signs popping up that we should be entering a major rebuild but the two bozos in office just don't get it.

We're not winning it all with our current group of guys. It's about to get a lot worse too with all these big contracts that will be demanded.

 

[KJJ]

With a new DC he should have been there. He’s probably too busy yapping on social media.

 

[Bullflop]

Gotta say, I'm disappointed in Micah for being such a diva! I thought he was more of a trooper than that. He needs to get with the program!

 

[noshame]

I've been saying for a year now. Trade, this guy for a king's ransom.

 

[LonnieElam]

MEcah the diva Parsons.

 

[thunderpimp91]

I think that’s too steep a price for a player that’s not a quarterback but if that’s indeed the market the Cowboys be crazy not to grab it.

It might not be the smartest move to give up that much for a non QB, especially one you need to give out a mega contract to, but that's the precedent that has been set from recent trades such as Khalil Mack, Jalen Ramsey, and Tyreek Hill.

With Parsons still having two years of team control instead of his walk year I think there is an argument that he should be worth even more.

We know.

Actually he IS getting with the program. Keeping Jerry's team in the news and selling jerseys.
