Revenge With Every Snap

For Parsons, Sunday will feel surreal.

Just four months ago, this was his home stadium, his sanctuary where he terrorized quarterbacks and energized the crowd.

Now, he’ll enter the visitors’ locker room for the first time, a place that feels foreign compared to the Cowboys’ side he once commanded. No matter how much he downplays it, there’s no denying an element of revenge.

The Cowboys didn’t believe in him enough to give him the contract he earned, and that’s a wound any competitor would carry.

Facing the very organization that drafted him but refused to reward his greatness, Parsons will be highly motivated.

He knows the cameras will be on him, and what better way to prove Jerry Jones wrong than by wrecking Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense in front of the fans who used to cheer his name?

Pride, Pain, and Worry

Jerry Jones, the face of the franchise for decades, can act like the Parsons trade was business as usual.

He’ll smile in front of reporters, dismiss questions, and insist the Cowboys are better positioned for the future, but deep down, he must feel the sting.

Parsons was his latest draft-day triumph, a generational defender who could have cemented Jones’ legacy as a team-builder. Instead, Jones will now watch from the luxury box as Parsons lines up against his offensive line.

He knows as well as anyone that Parsons is capable of single-handedly blowing up an offensive game plan.

For all the pride Jones shows the public, he has to be worried about what Parsons might do under the prime-time spotlight.
