Having shown up to mandatory minicamp, Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons recently explained his absence from OTAs to reporters as a desire to allow his body to heal due to him being an undersized pass rusher, which is a challenge when talking about playing an entire NFL season.
Additionally, Parsons pointed out that he'll be able to show his leadership in minicamp and most importantly training camp, pointing toward Aaron Donald as an example, arguing he won Defensive Player of the Year the same year he held out from training camp.
But for Parsons, it wasn't enough to let the media know where he stood. So on top of his comments, which took over a large chunk of the NFL's news cycle on Tuesday, the All-Pro pass rusher took to Twitter/X to send a message for every fan to read.
"Let's get to Sundays so I can put all this talk to (silent emojis)," Parsons posted, a message that made it clear how fed up with the narrative he is.
Although a part of the conversation surrounding Parsons is certainly fair, I gotta be honest with you. I get what he's saying. We do this with the offseason when there's not much else to discuss in the NFL world.
Of course it matters (to a degree) if your best defensive player showed up to voluntary workouts or not. Specially when he claimed he was going to and the head coach appeared unhappy when he wasn't there. Of course everyone wished he was there even from a team moral point of view.
But…
Will it matter to us that much in September when Parsons is out there terrorizing opposing quarterbacks? My gut tells me not really. Every now and then during the long months of the offseason I have the same feeling as Micah, let's get to Sundays and stop overthinking every single little thing.
But hey, June is just getting started. So in the meantime, if you want to catch up on the Micah offseason saga, we've got you covered.
