The NFL regular season is now over.

Some teams' focus has turned to free agency and the NFL Draft, others' has turned to the playoffs, like the Dallas Cowboys. But one thing that matters for all teams' players is post-season awards. 

It matters primarily for contract negotiations, as being named All-Pro carries much more weight financially, than not being named one.

While many of these awards are exclusively media-driven, what players think of each other has become more and more popular over the years. We have seen it with the NFL Top 100, and more recently we have seen it with the emergence of the NFLPA Players' All-Pro Team.

In its second year of being made public, several Cowboys made it. And boy, there were also some notable omissions.

Players who made the list for the Cowboys are CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, Zack Martin, DaRon Bland, and Brandon Aubrey.

Notable names who missed are Dak Prescott and very surprisingly, Micah Parsons.

As we have previously mentioned, Dak Prescott leads Lamar Jackson (the player who was selected for the team) in every advanced metric except for one. 

But Micah Parsons is having the best statistical year in his career in terms of sacks, all while being double-teamed at one of the biggest rates in the NFL. Leaving him off is an egregious error and a show of disrespect. 

I can understand Myles Garrett, as he is right up there with Micah Parsons in terms of double-team rate; but Maxx Crosby isn't even in the top five, and he has just half a sack more than Parsons. He also has fewer pressures and QB hits per PFF.

As this list is voted on by the players, it brings in the question: Is Micah being hated on because he is so much better than anyone he lines up against? We see it every week, he is held to an unfair standard by NFL referees because he beats his blocker so often. Or maybe it's because he's loud about it and many other topics on his weekly live streams online? 

Players can get their pride hurt when they get beat so badly, thus the question must be asked. 

Luckily the players' list isn't the end-all be-all in terms of effecting bonuses, and in fact, it matters very little in the grand scheme of things. It is merely just something that gives insight into how the players view each other. 

Cowboys should be rooting for one external outcome in Wild Card Round

Two wins in one weekend is possible.
