Micah Parsons has only played two seasons in the National Football League, and yet, he’s already one of most outspoken players in the sport. The Dallas Cowboys superstar isn’t afraid to speak his mind. And if that includes taking a shot at another team, he’ll do just that.
Parsons was a part of Bleacher Report’s 2023 NFL Draft coverage, along with A.J. Brown, Calais Campbell and Kirk Cousins on Thursday night. At some point during the coverage, he took issue with the Tennessee Titans and their decision to trade Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles. Parsons, of course, has to face Brown twice a season in the NFC East, so he didn’t hold back on Tennessee for parting with one of the game’s best receivers.
“I don’t know how Tennessee trades him,” Parsons told BR’s Adam Lefkoe. “I don’t understand that. He [is] the best receiver on the team and you let him go because he wanted to get paid? And then he outperforms what you were trying to pay him? Like c’mon Tennneseee. That’s why they in shambles and they getting rid of everybody right now.
“And you send him over to the Eagles? I’m still angry to this day about that trade. It’s still beef right now. It’s still beef.”
Parsons clearly has a point. In Brown’s first season with the Eagles, he hauled in 88 receptions for 1,496 yards with 11 receiving touchdowns. He also helped Philadelphia win the NFC and reach the Super Bowl.
The next time the Titans, or any NFL team for that matter, wants to trade a star player, perhaps they should consult Parsons.
