Micah Parsons sends a silent but powerful message and JJ Watt has his back
The reason? Jones had publicly questioned the reliability of both Parsons and quarterback Dak Prescott, just days before the season gets underway.
JJ Watt doesn’t hold back and Parsons quietly applauds
At the center of the controversy is a quote from Jones that was not only inaccurate, but also provocative: “He missed six games last year. Seriously,” Jones said, referring to Parsons.
In reality, Micah Parsons missed only four games. That slip didn’t go unnoticed. Watt responded with sarcasm:
“Nothing motivates guys to fight for you quite like hearing how upset you are that they got hurt while fighting for you.”
Watt’s response was sharp, but Micah Parsons repost made it even louder, he clearly agrees, and likely feels just as frustrated.
Trouble brewing in Dallas?
Beyond the sarcasm, it’s clear that Jones’ comments may have opened an internal rift right before training camp.
With Prescott’s massive contract, rumors of a Micah Parsons extension, and Jones condescending tone, the tension in Dallas is now impossible to ignore, for fans and league insiders alike.
Micah Parsons has chosen strategic silence, showing up to camp but without confirming whether he’ll actually train with the team.
Is his quiet stance sending a message louder than any press conference? Maybe. And if things continue to escalate, the Cowboys might be facing something more serious than just injury setbacks: a breakdown in internal trust.
