He is a different cat and doesn't always give fans the quotes they want. He set the stage with his "no problem with the PA teams, likes them both".

Why should he have loyalty to this franchise? Because they drafted him?

I think loyalty in the NFL is an illusion, it is 100% business. Every player is a merc.
I remember long ago when there was player loyalty to their team. Nowadays, the loyalty is to the highest bidder. IMO, the salary cap has destroyed the NFL. When l say that, l'm talking about players that take up so much cap space on their teams that they can't afford to sign players to stay competitive. You almost (have to) move on from players like Parsons after their rookie contracts expire. The Jones boys just keep kicking the can down the road and keep the same ol players. What happens with Zeke will be very telling...

Hey, if this is so “normal” can some show me the tweet of one of the top 2-3 players on the Giants or Eagles rooting for us in the few years?

I’ll wait

I remember Eagles players in the media hating on the Cowboys in recent years in interviews. But, let's root for them I guess.

chris jones is their only real threat, double on him and its over. mahomes's injured too. eagles are favored.
Why double? Lane Johnson hasn't given up a simple sack in years. He stoned Parsons too. But I'm sure they line Jones up elsewhere. I think KC needs to make this
game a shootout. That's how I'm guessing they win.

I think we are making a mountain out of a molehill. I don't know but being that Parsons is from PA and went to college in PA that he spent time getting tutoring from Eagles veterans when he was younger.
But on the other hand I bet all the NFL players are hanging out giggling how much money they are taking from us passionate fans.
Who knows

This the league today, acting like the NFL is a brotherhood - you can get your butt whooped and have a bad day at the office and shake hands with the dude that just knocked your teeth out and smile into a camera while holding his jersey you just exchanged with him.

At the end of the day, they all get their bloated paychecks on the way home. Pretty sure players like this is who Michael Irving snitched on to Jimmy and they all got traded and released.

Aaron Rodgers pretty much comes out and says how he loves his rivals with their heads down after a loss and watching their fans cry. You rarely ever saw this stuff between the Ravens and Steelers - they genuinely hated each other, Suggs used to mock Hines Ward all the time.

The social media age ruined this. Everyone is a brand now, can't come off as cocky or unlikeable to other fan bases because it might hit your bottom line once FA comes up.

You all need to grow up. It’s two competitors that have tremendous respect for each other. They are human beings, not drones.
I think also Parsons admires Johnson for his football position changeover:
•Kilgore College QB and TE.
•OU Sooners____from practice squad QB to TE, then to DE, on to starting LT, then starting RT his last two seasons.
• 1st round pick\4th overall in 2013 draft.

Johnson really is quite a remarkable player. You would be hard pressed to find a player with such a round about path to becoming an NFL all-pro.

What's even more hilarious are Philly fans thinking he wants to be in Philly. Please

As much as I hate the Eagles, I love both Lane Johnson and Jason Kelce. Two of the ALL TIME greats at their positions. No drama.

Been awhile since the players care as much as the fans. Game over, collect a check, and decide where they are going for $1000 steak dinner and cocktails. Meanwhile the fans are crushed for days.
