Cowboys starter gets angry at reporters over Micah Parson question image

The Dallas Cowboys trading Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers will never make much sense. All the former Penn State star has done in the NFL is compete at a very high level, and he did just that in his first game with the Packers on Sunday in a massive win against the Detroit Lions.

The Cowboys will continue to be criticized for that trade for as long as Parsons is a star, which will probably be for his entire career. 

He's one of the top edge rushers in the NFL, if not the best. 

Cowboys growing tired of Micah Parsons questions

However, Cowboys players are starting to grow tired of how the media is covering the situation, to the point where some are even saying they no longer want to hear about it.

“I feel like everybody is really tired of that question,” Sam Williams said, per Jon Machota of The Athletic. “Micah is gone. So, I feel like we should stop bringing up his name. He’s on Green Bay. You should ask about the Cowboys and worry about what we got in the locker room.

“Micah is always gonna be part of the family, especially in the D-line room. But other than that, that’s his business. … I’m worried about me. I can give you his number. You can call Micah and ask him any questions you need. But me, please don’t ask me no questions about that man. That’s him, and I’m me.”

Unfortunately for Williams, if he wants that to be the case, he might have to go play for another team. 

The Cowboys are arguably the most historic franchise in NFL history, so every move they make will be looked at in a much different light than other teams.
