Micah Parsons’ brother Terrence Parsons Jr. made it clear he isn’t buying the Rashan Gary hype in Dallas.
Terrence took to X/Twitter late at night to respond to a Cowboys fan who called Gary “100 [percent] the real deal,” and his answer was as blunt as it gets. He wrote, “Definitely can stop the run but outside of that [y'all] gonna [expletive] around and find out,” followed by a pair of laughing emojis.
The timing made the jab even sharper. Terrence posted it at 1:28 a.m. ET, and the message seemed aimed squarely at warning Cowboys fans not to expect Gary to fill the void left after Micah Parsons.
Gary, who was viewed as a cap casualty in Green Bay this offseason, had even announced his departure before eventually being traded to Dallas. The Cowboys are counting on him as part of the effort to replace what they’ve missed since moving on from Micah, at least in theory.
But Terrence’s take was that Gary’s value is limited. In his view, the ex-Packers defensive lineman can help against the run, but that’s where the impact stops.
The numbers give that criticism some weight. Gary’s production dropped hard once Micah went down with a torn ACL in December, and he didn’t record a sack after that point.
Terrence obviously doesn’t speak for Micah, and the brothers are still their own people despite the family tie. Micah may feel differently about Gary. Still, the message from Terrence was unmistakable: there are levels to this, and Gary isn’t in Micah’s class.

Packers Suddenly Have A Real Shot At A Major Offensive Upgrade
The Packers interest in Jonathan Taylor is not a new one, and it makes sense from Green Bays side. Taylor is heading into the final year of his contract with Indianapolis in 2026, and CBS Sports has floated the idea that his situation could become one worth watching as the Colts sort through both roster direction and long-term money. For a Green Bay offense that has leaned on Josh Jacobs but still has room to think bigger at running back, Taylors combination of rushing production and passing-game value is the kind of upgrade that would change the conversation.
There is also some history here, which is part of what gives this storyline extra legs. Brian Gutekunst had already reached out to Colts general manager Chris Ballard in 2023 about Taylor, only to find Indianapolis asking for Christian Watson in return. A lot can change between now and then, especially if Taylors camp starts looking at the market more aggressively, and that is why this one feels worth keeping on the radar even before anything actually materializes.

Packers Fans Wont Like Who Detroit Could Target In Green Bay
The Lions are suddenly in the market for cornerback help after releasing Terrion Arnold following his arrest on multiple felony charges, and the search has already widened beyond one obvious name. Detroit has reportedly checked in with the Browns on Denzel Ward, but it may also have a cheaper path to explore as it looks for a veteran answer in the secondary.
For Green Bay, the uncomfortable part is that the discussion could eventually land closer to home. Carrington Valentine is entering free agency and carries a modest base salary under the proven-performance escalator, which makes him the kind of player another team could view as attainable if the price is right. An inter-division trade would still be unusual, and if Detroit gets serious, the Packers would likely have to decide whether to let a rival make the first real offer. [Read more 🡒]
George Kittle Put Tucker Kraft On Blast In Hilarious Exchange
George Kittle and Tucker Kraft turned a quick social media misunderstanding into a reminder that the two tight ends have a pretty lighthearted rapport off the field. Kraft had to clear up confusion about a TikTok profile carrying his name, after the account picked up a big following and plenty of engagement while not actually belonging to him.
The exchange also spilled into a broader football conversation when Kittle used the moment to take another public shot at the NFLs continued reliance on artificial turf. He pointed to player health concerns and the natural grass setups used at World Cup stadiums, keeping the conversation focused on a league-wide issue even as the back-and-forth stayed playful on the surface.
