Dude, we have more than one guy to stop the run. Have you really researched our free agent acquisitions (much less the rookies)? I don't expect that to be a big issue this season, with or without DB.

I think you heavily underestimate the value DB brings.  He set an NFL record for tackles by a DT in 23'.

I don't see how you are saying I am painting him any sort of way.  I told you my gut feeling, based on nothing, and provided a quick AI overview seemingly garnered from public opinion backing that up.

Here's a more in depth look.

 

Public Spats:
Parsons has been involved in public disagreements with former teammates, media members, and even the Cowboys' owner, Jerry Jones. 
 
Perceived Selfishness:
Some have criticized his focus on individual accolades over team success, with one former player calling him the "most selfish player" on the team according to a Yardbarker article. 

And yet, the players are on his side according to Rapsheet. There are always more than side to a story.

Do you hear this type of stuff being said about DB?  Parsons has the diva aura.  I stay away from that type of player.

A lot of players would say something positive rather than deal with the heat.  Especially if they want him out.

I feel when players are outspoken about how selfish you are, knowing it will be reported, that is very telling.

That's exactly what I was thinking, but people are telling me that it's a whole bunch.

I mean, arguably the greatest pass rusher in the NFL currently for a 3rd and Derrick Brown??? That's very one sided, IMO.

Yes, Parsons does get injured a lot, so there is that. But Brown, although very good, is not a significant impact in the pass rush. He definitely could end up being that at some point but he absolutely has not been that so far.

Parsons is easily worth DB and a 3rd.

It was an ex-Cowboy, THE Jesse Holley, that made that statement. Come on, man.

Different position, different focus.  DB swallows the run.  90 PFF grade and NFL record in tackles for the position.

We were gouged without him last year.

Parsons is still young, so the "one piece away" argument isn't really potent to me. People usually say that when they don't want to pay a vet who's five years older.

The fact that Parsons is just entering his prime kinda makes having him worth it. If Parsons isn't worth it, I don't know who is. Like I said (if he actually ends up on the market), he willing suitors, with loads of cash, will not be a problem for him.

 

Parsons is 26 Derrick Brown is 27. Neither of them are that young. But they are both in their prime no doubt.

If we didn't pass on him and Parsons were already here we could be having a different conversation or we could be having the same conversation as the Cowboys. It's all speculation. But we had our chance if we wanted him.

I don't think there is a single GM in the NFL who wouldn't make that trade, if given the option. 

DB is a very good player. Parsons is tracking towards a HOF career.

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
