Dak Prescott seems relieved that Micah Parsons is gone  image

While Dallas Cowboys fans and former players are still upset over the Micah Parsons trade, one player is glad the whole situation is over, and that’s quarterback Dak Prescott.

Prescott is glad that the Parsons situation is now over and the Cowboys can move on and focus on the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Dallas QB said he knew that a trade was probably coming, so it wasn’t a surprise to him.

"Just with the way the way the negotiations went down, obviously to some extent, I mean hell y'all were asking me questions, it seemed like it got personal on their end," Prescott said.

Prescott admits, however, the Cowboys may miss Parsons.

"I'm not going to say we're better. We've got to go out there and prove it. We had to prove it even if he was on this team, so I'm not going to say that by any means," Prescott said. "But I know what adding a guy like Kenny Clark, adding a true leader, a real man that's going to only elevate this team, who's been a Pro Bowl player and is excited about being here [means].

Prescott, along with the rest of the team, is just glad they can now focus their attention on the Eagles and not the continuing saga of Parsons' feud with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

"I know our focus right now is Philly. I think that's everybody's focus in that locker room. I don't think anybody's hung up on [the Parsons trade]. As I've said, there's enough news and enough media about it. I think as much as anything it's good that a solution happened. Obviously, Micah got paid. He got paid very well and great for him and his family. And we'll see him here in about a month."

And now, Parsons and the Cowboys can just focus on football.
