Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has stirred controversy ahead of the team’s Week 4 clash with the Green Bay Packers, refusing to honor former star Micah Parsons with a tribute video during his return to AT&T Stadium. The bold stance sets the stage for a fiery Sunday Night Football matchup.
Jones, speaking on 880 ESPN New York, dismissed the idea of celebrating Parsons: “It’s not appropriate... That’s not to diminish Micah. But I think Micah’s got enough ‘welcome’ out there, and we just need to show we’ve got antidotes for that.” He doubled down, adding, “We made one ‘Parsons,’ we can make another. Look at reality—Packers always bring surprises at the last minute.”
Parsons, traded to Green Bay in August for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks, has powered the Packers’ top-ranked defense with 1.5 sacks. The 2-1 Packers, coming off a loss to the Browns, face a 1-2 Cowboys team struggling with a weak pass rush (25th in NFL pressure rate).
Cowboys fans on X are divided. @CowboysNation tweeted, “Jerry’s right—we’ve moved on from Parsons!” while @PackersFaith fired back, “Parsons will make Dallas regret that trade!” The absence of a tribute, unlike those for legends like Emmitt Smith, has sparked heated debate.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer admitted the team’s pass-rush woes: “No sacks isn’t good enough. We’re looking at the film to fix our shortfalls.” Jones’ confidence suggests Dallas is ready to counter Parsons with new talent and scheme adjustments.
As the Week 4 showdown looms, Jones’ words fuel anticipation. Will the Cowboys prove they’ve found their next Parsons, or will Green Bay’s star linebacker deliver a game-changing surprise? The NFL world awaits.
