No matter what you hear these days, the Cowboys aren’t actually shopping Micah Parsons. Which is good, because North Texas couldn’t survive the loss of another civic icon so soon. Same as if the Cotton Bowl had suddenly imploded in 2012 before Big Tex stopped smoking.

Dallas COO and EVP Stephen Jones claimed the team would evaluate their free agency outlook and see if changes needed to be made

And in the Cowboys’ own division, they saw ex-Giant running back Saquon Barkley go to the Philadelphia Eagles as a free agent and he went on to have one of the best seasons for a running back in history, as he helped lead the team to a Super Bowl title.
