Cowboys Won't Honor Micah Parsons In Packers Return Game

Micah Parsons, the star pass rusher recently traded from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers, will return to AT&T Stadium this Sunday for a game against his former team. Despite Parsons' impressive four-year career with the Cowboys, including 52.5 sacks and multiple All-Pro honors, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has stated the team will not honor him with a tribute video or special recognition, citing that such a gesture would be inappropriate given the circumstances of Parsons' departure. Jones contrasted this with past tributes given to players like Emmitt Smith but emphasized that Parsons has already received enough recognition and that the focus should be on countering his impact on the field. The trade occurred after contentious contract negotiations, with the Cowboys aiming to manage their salary cap and reallocate resources. Parsons has started strong with the Packers, contributing to one of the NFL's best defenses, and is expected to have an impactful game against Dallas. The Cowboys, meanwhile, have struggled with their pass rush since his departure.
