Micah Parsons has been the talk of the town for the Dallas Cowboys this offseason, after requesting a trade on August 1. The star linebacker has been a crucial aspect for the Cowboys in the past four years earning Pro Bowl honors in each season.
Analyst Nick Wright explained why Parsons' contract issues with the Cowboys is not a great sign for the side going into their first week clash against the Philadelphia Eagles.
"I think it's at the moment disastrous," Wright said on "First Things First." "I mean, the Cowboys don't have a lot of paths to go into Philly and win, but all of them involve a game-changing defensive play. It’s just probably a little hyperbolic to say that's the only way they can win.
"But, yeah, a strip sack that you scoop and score or a tipped pass at the line of scrimmage. Philly needs to have some errors. And Philly is not a self-inflicted error type of team. You know what I mean? So, there is that tangible on-field impact in Week 1."
Wright also noted that Parson's defensive efforts can strengthen the Cowboys' attack, which has an overall impact on the team.
However, it is not certain whether Parsons will suit up for Dallas in the regular season when the Cowboys travel to clash against the Eagles on September 4.
Cowboys have done nothing to end contract tussle with Micah Parsons
Micah Parsons is entering the final year of his rookie deal with the Cowboys and is set to earn $24 million on the fifth-year option in the 2025 season. However, The Cowboys are not keen to trade him, nor give the LB his desired contract extension.
On Monday, ESPN's Adam Schefter said that there is "no deal in sight" for Parsons and the Cowboys.
In four years with the Cowboys, Parson has amassed 256 tackles, 63 tackles for loss, 52.5 sacks, nine pass deflections, nine forced fumbles and one defensive touchdowns.
