Cowboys coach confident Micah Parsons will play Week 1 against Eagles

The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for their first game of the 2025 NFL season against the Philadelphia Eagles, but the big question on everyone’s mind is whether star edge rusher Micah Parsons will be suiting up for the Cowboys.

Although contract talks between Parsons and the Cowboys’ front office have been at a standstill, head coach Brian Schottenheimer expressed confidence that Parsons will be on the field for Week 1. Parsons has been present at the team’s training camp but has been watching from the sidelines.

Despite Parsons’ trade request and frustrations with the contract negotiations, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has stated that he has no intention of trading the talented defensive player. Parsons himself has remained tight-lipped about the situation, simply stating, “My mouth is closed.”

Speculation about Parsons’ future with the Cowboys has been swirling, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter suggesting that a “divorce” between the two parties may be imminent. Parsons is currently set to play on his fifth-year option, valued at $24 million, with the possibility of being franchise tagged for two more seasons if a long-term deal cannot be reached.

As the drama unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Parsons will be a long-term fixture for the Cowboys or if a separation is on the horizon. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
