Cowboys fans and the Parsons family are still trading blows, and Terrence Parsons Jr. just added another one.
A year after Micah Parsons was shipped to Green Bay, the split keeps spilling into public view. Dallas fans already had plenty of resentment after Parsons put together a big season for a bitter rival, and now his brother is giving them another reason to stay irritated.
The latest flashpoint came after a Cowboys fan praised Dallas’ addition of Rashan Gary on Twitter. Terrence Parsons Jr. jumped in with a blunt response aimed at the new edge rusher and the team around him:
“Definitely can stop the run but outside of that yall gonna fuck around and find out 🤣🤣 https://t.co/xlNDgdpMwf”
That comment landed as a shot at the Cowboys’ pass rush plans, but it also ignored a pretty important detail: Gary and Micah Parsons were teammates in Green Bay last season, and both finished as the Packers’ sack leaders in 2025.
Gary is not being brought in to be Micah Parsons. Dallas is trying to get steadier production off the edge, and the move fits that need.
He’s 28, has 39.5 sacks since 2021, and that total ranks top 20 in the NFL. He’s stronger against the run than as a pure pass-rusher, but he still brings real value as a pressure player.
He was also a Pro Bowler in 2024, and the source of this latest back-and-forth notes that 2024 was his best season before Parsons joined him in Green Bay. So the idea that Gary can’t rush the passer at all doesn’t match what he’s already done.
Dallas, meanwhile, is trying to replace a player who is not easy to replace. Parsons is a five-time Pro Bowler and one of the best pass-rushers in the world. Jerry Jones missed on that task last season, but the Cowboys responded by adding Gary and drafting Malachi Lawrence in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft to help fill the void off the edge.
The tension around Parsons and the Cowboys has only grown since the move, and public comments from his family keep feeding it. Terrence Parsons Jr. taking a swipe at Gary - and by extension Dallas - is just the latest example.
That kind of jab is a strange look when Micah is the one who is supposed to be better off after signing a market-shattering contract. And with Week 5 on the schedule this upcoming season, Gary has even more reason to make the Cowboys pay for the noise.

Emmitt Smith Just Sent Cowboys Fans A Strong Javonte Williams Message
Javonte Williams has already given the Cowboys reason to believe he can be a steady part of the offense, and the early returns have been backed up by the numbers. Pro Football Focus had him popping up near the top of several rushing categories, a nod to the kind of consistent, efficient season he put together even while dealing with a shoulder issue that cost him a game and limited him in others.
So when Emmitt Smith got a first look at Williams during mandatory minicamp, it carried a little extra weight for a backfield still taking shape under Brian Schottenheimer and Klayton Adams. The Hall of Famer liked what he saw and offered Williams a simple message to keep doing it, while the bigger question in Dallas remains how the carries will be divided and whether a second back can help the offense find another gear.

Cowboys Castoff Suddenly Has A Real Shot To Matter Again
Training camp is bringing a different kind of opportunity for Markquese Bell, who has spent recent seasons carving out a meaningful role on special teams while trying to stay in the mix on defense. With C.J. Goodwin retired and the Cowboys sorting through a roster that has seen plenty of movement, Bell suddenly looks like one of the more relevant depth pieces on the board again.
The timing matters because the safety group has changed enough that Bell may not have the clearest path to snaps on that side of the ball. Dallas brought in Caleb Downs, Jalen Thompson and P.J. Locke, which makes special teams the likeliest place for Bell to win his spot and stick around, even if his defensive opportunities are harder to project right now. [Read more 🡒]
