Dak Prescott backs Parsons extension

Dak Prescott weighs in on Micah Parsons contract talks after Parsons asked for a trade, signaling a likely extension.

Dak Prescott backs Micah Parsons extension Eleven remains a Cowboy

The Cowboys are navigating a tense moment after Micah Parsons asked for a trade a week ago. Dak Prescott acknowledged the moment with a private message to Parsons, describing the moment as a strong reaction to the situation but stressing it was not about disrespect. The team has said there is no plan to trade Parsons, and owner Jerry Jones along with the organization have stayed confident that Parsons will be extended, just as Prescott himself was last year. Cowboys officials frame the dispute as part of negotiations rather than a forced exit. The backdrop is a familiar one for big contracts in Dallas, with past extensions for CeeDee Lamb, Ezekiel Elliott and Zack Martin cited as a template for how these talks tend to end.

Prescott described his own stance as one of faith in the franchise and the players. He said he has not considered playing without Parsons and expressed trust in the Jones family and the organization to reach a deal that reflects Parsons’ value. He summed up the sentiment with a simple line that carries weight in Dallas locker rooms: Eleven is a Cowboy.

The exchange exposes how quickly team dynamics can pivot around money and public perception. Prescott’s public show of support reinforces a message of unity, but the situation also screens for potential friction behind the scenes. If the Cowboys secure Parsons, it signals a willingness to invest in top talent and protect locker-room chemistry; if not, the payoff could be measured in growing demands from players and fans for clearer timelines. The line between loyalty and leverage is thin, and Dallas will need to manage cap space and public expectations as deftly as it manages the field.

The next moves will show how Dallas balances loyalty with the economics of a championship window.
