Twitter: Micah Parsons 2nd player in NFL history to record 12+ sacks in first 4 seasons

[atlantacowboy]

He get held more than any player in the NFL. I still thinks he's a LB, though.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

It's ridiculous for anyone to think that the Cowboys have any other option other than paying the man.

 

[Proof]

You still got my name in your mouth lol. Funny guy. Beat it

oh lord shut the hell up cornball. i didn't even realize i was responding to you. you're not important. you just say a lot of stupid things and i'm compelled to respond. stop acting like a ho and block me if you're so pressed.

 

[KJJ]

His contract demands will likely increase. If they pay him we’ll have three players taking up a large percentage of the cap.

To Micah: Leave now, dont ignore the signs you see...Holdout and go and dont look back..What you will get here with the bag of money is not worth it...
ask yourself seriously "Do i want to be a winner" if the answer is yes then do not marry this owner!

Reggie did it after a career in the USFL

Reggie was 24 and in his prime with years of pro ball under his belt when he went to Philly. Micah was an actual rookie. What Micah did was way more impressive.

if you trade him you create a huge hole on defense build around him

You may be right, but at this point the Cowboys DON'T have the cap space to make another player on this team with so many issues one of the highest paid defensive players in the league. I would rather see 3 or 4 DECENT defensive FAs signed with the money the Cowboys are about to give Parsons.

 

[FVSTONE]

He’s one of the top five pass rushers in the league.

Are you one of those guys who thinks a team should *never* pay the going rate for *any* position?

I'm one of those people who thinks with the CAP SPACE issues that the Cowboys have, signing 3 or 4 DECENT defensive FAs would give the Cowboys a better opportunity than to overpay another player on this team who has turned out to be pretty much a one-dimensional player. Parsons to this point has turned into one of the best edge rushers, but when it comes to defensing against the run, he's not even average at best.

 

[FVSTONE]

Which is why I don’t entertain people saying trade him

TRADE micah? Because he has a podcast? Because he talks a lot? And most of what he says if anything is minor annoyances because he’s young and older folks (myself included) don’t like how young people talk

Please

So, the Cowboys should make Parsons one of the highest, if not the highest paid defensive player in the league??????? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee, there are too many holes to plug on the defense to overpay another player on this team. Upper management blew it when they overpaid Prescott, now the Cowboys have a Cap Space issue and a lousy QB to boot. Parsons has proved he's a great edge rusher, but he's also proved that he's not very good as a run stopper. I'd rather see 3 or 4 decent defensive FAs get signed than to go further down the CAP SPACE rabbit hole.

 

[FVSTONE]

So what?????? The Boys still ended up with a lousy record. Overpaying another player on this team isn't going to turn things around anytime soon. After the 2025 NFL Draft, and the Giants get themselves a game changing QB the Cowboys may find themselves bringing up the rear in the Eastern Division for YEARS to come.

So, how do we replace those 52.5 sacks over the next four years with whatever “decent defensive FAs” we sign?

Do you think we get even half of that? I doubt it.

Reggie was 24 and in his prime with years of pro ball under his belt when he went to Philly. Micah was an actual rookie. What Micah did was way more impressive.

White played 2 years in the USFL, double digit sacks both years there and then came into the NFL and had double digit sacks his first 9 years in that league, including 21 sacks (in only 12 games) his 3rd year in the NFL). Will Parsons have that kind of longevity in this league? And people are using 12 sacks because White only had 11 in his 5th year in the NFL so if Parsons gets 12 next year people can say he's the only one ever to have 12+ sacks in each of his first 5 years on the league when he'll be nowhere near White's 81 total sacks in 5 years (or 75.5 if you count the USFL years as his first 2 pro years). Parsons sits at 52.5 after 4 years. Way more impressive, I think not.

It's ridiculous for anyone to think that the Cowboys have any other option other than paying the man.

Exactly.

He is literally a HOF-caliber player. The only one on the team. You cannot let a player like that go. In fact, you should build the entire team around him and make him--and us--even stronger (eg. invest in DT and edge and free him up to wreak more havoc).

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

A fool would want him gone.

 

[speedkilz88]

None of his USFL sacks counted

The transition from college to pros is why it hasn't been done by others. Reggie was already a professional when he started his nfl career.

Comparing a 3rd year professional to a rookie is not a fair comp.

 

[Risen Star]

My question is did Micah not disappear late in the season because the games didn't mean anything or because he had a month off during the season?

Or maybe he's just getting past the disappearing act.

 

[Arkyvarminter]

Alot of garbage time sacks..im not impressed....................

 

[gtb1943]

Here is some food for thought:

In previous years Parson faded late in the season.

This year since he played in fewer games he did not

Maybe the coaching staff needs to think on his snap count per game
