News broke this morning that Micah Parsons was prepared to demand a trade and sever his relationship with the Dallas Cowboys. This afternoon, that nightmare became a reality and the elite pass rusher has expressed on his X account he no longer wishes to play for the Dallas Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys can’t escape the injury bug. The Cowboys have had injuries to three different players this week alone and will require them to miss a significant amount of time. For Dallas, the next man to make his way to the injured list is cornerback Caelen Carson, further thinning the cornerback room.

Overall, it’s a sigh of relief for Cowboys Nation to hear Tyler Guyton will be available during the 2025 season. It definitely beats the alternative, but this could still be considered a devastating blow for the Dallas Cowboys in Brian Schottenheimer’s early coaching career.

It’s hard to imagine a world where Tyler Booker wasn’t starting in Dallas this year, but Rob Jones was surprisingly giving Booker a run for his money. Now, we’ll never know if Jones would have been the starter in Week 1 because of these unfortunate circumstances.

The team went from Elliott dominating the league in rushing, to Tony Pollard’s flash in the pan season, to an abysmal running game in 2024 that was sixth-worst in the NFL. The Cowboys tried to address the running back room this offseason, but of all the new faces, who could be the main back for the Dallas Cowboys?

This comes as a shock while the Cowboys are trying to find a way to sign Micah Parsons, but reportedly have not begun negotiations with one of the league’s premier pass rushers. But the bigger shock might be the Cowboys committing to Jake Ferguson for the next four years.

In 2020, Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 5. In the 2022 season, Prescott injured his thumb and missed 5 weeks while Cooper Rush swooped in and kept the team afloat during Prescott’s absence. Since 2020, Prescott has played in 69% of the games (58 of 84). When your quarterback misses that many games, it’s hard for a team to succeed.

KaVontae Turpin was arrested for two misdemeanors in Dallas: possession of marijuana less than two ounces and unlawful carrying of a weapon. He was pulled over Saturday night after going 97 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone.

The Dallas Cowboys have an established elite wide receiver whom they can throw the ball. CeeDee Lamb commanded a lot of attention and the Cowboys didn’t really have anyone step up alongside him. The Cowboys addressed their offense this offseason by making splash signings, changing coordinators, and switching schemes. It won’t all be up to Lamb anymore, so who can get involved in the offense this year?

Respectfully to the other corners on the roster, Gilmore or Samuel Jr. would instantly elevate this secondary to allow Diggs enough time to get fully healthy. This might be the best move short-term for the organization come Week 1.
