Should we be concerned about Micah's longevity?

Seems by mid-way thru the 4th quarter, he is starting to slightly struggle. I 100% understand why - dude plays full speed all out every single play.

Camera shots show him just gassed. When he is on the bench, he just looks beat and unhappy. Reading his comments tell me he would like to play more LB but he is dedicated to whatever the team needs, which is apparently him playing a DL. Are we seeing the beginning of the Cowboys chewing him up and spitting him out? Wanting 100% of him for 3 or 4 years instead of 90% for 7 or 8 years?

Will he reach a point and think to himself "man, I can't keep this pace and maintain a long healthy career. Maybe I need to look at playing somewhere else."
If they keep putting him at DE most of the game then yes

Trade him from What. I won’t even think about it until next season.

What?

They sit him for long stretches. Even an entire series sometimes. His snap count is t the issue. Being asked to take on OT straight up every play is the issue.

Some of us warned about this when everyone here clamored to have him at DE full time. Parsons needs to be moved around and blitzed from different angles. He doesn’t have the moves to line up and beat OTs over and over. You have to maximize his athleticism by changing the angles.
They sit him more now. But he shouldn't of even suited up for the Titans game. Totally agree about him going against those OT.

You don't trade the identity of the team after his 2nd year...

I think the wearing him out thing is a bit overblown, for right now..

You can't sustain that, though.
A identity won't win you super bowl but a good QB can.
How u going to pay him?
Lastly, objectively compare this season to last.
How much is he worth?

No but i dont like him full timing at DE

put him at LB and let him roam and pick his spots to sack the qb itll be more effective
