HERE WE GO: Dallas Cowboys Hope 6‑ft‑4 Rising Star Can Be the Right Partner for Micah Parsons After…
As the Dallas Cowboys charge into the 2025 NFL season, all eyes are fixed on their dynamic defense—anchored by Pro Bowl edge rusher Micah Parsons. Coming off a mixed 2024 campaign (7–10, missing playoffs), Dallas is doubling down on building around their young star and his next-level talent
Since bursting onto the scene in 2021, Parsons has racked up 52.5 sacks and 256 tackles in just four seasons, earning four Pro Bowl nods and two First-Team All-Pro honors . He’s not just a force on the field: his Lion Heart Foundation’s “Pins for a Purpose” raised over $167,000 for families in March 2025
. Off-field, he’s sharpening his leadership—drawing inspiration from NFL legends like Tom Brady and Ray Lewis—and even discussing business strategies
Dallas has targeted the ideal complementary partner—preferably a 6′4″ edge rusher who can unleash chaos opposite Parsons. Reports indicate their radar is locked on Odafe Oweh from Baltimore, whose explosive burst and athleticism could perfectly mirror Parsons’ relentless motor
This alignment could follow another key signing: Dante Fowler Jr., rejoining Dallas on a one-year deal after posting 10.5 sacks in Washington
. While Fowler brings veteran savvy, the focus remains on dynamic youth up front.
Micah enters his final rookie-year season amid ongoing contract negotiations. The contract discussion looms large—estimates suggest he’ll command somewhere in the vicinity of $24 million per year, with both sides signaling optimism
. Cowboys brass seem eager to keep their defensive anchor long-term.
This offseason also marks a culture reset. New coach Brian Schottenheimer and defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus have pushed early chemistry-building efforts. A lighthearted viral moment—Parsons calling Schottenheimer “goodnight”—ended in a pep talk about leadership and vision
