The Philadelphia Eagles–Dallas Cowboys rivalry has taken another fiery turn, thanks to A.J. Brown’s latest recruiting pitch.
During an appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast, the Eagles’ star receiver claimed Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons is eyeing a move to Philadelphia.
"Micah [Parsons] wanna be an Eagle," Brown said, stirring speculation about the All-Pro pass rusher’s future as he becomes eligible for a lucrative contract extension.
Parsons, the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, has been a game-wrecking force for the Cowboys, racking up 53 sacks in four seasons while securing three All-Pro selections and four Pro Bowl nods. As Dallas approaches a crucial offseason, Parsons' contract situation has sparked debate.
Despite his dominance, Parsons has publicly downplayed the need for a record-breaking contract, telling Cowboys insider Jon Machota:
"I don’t need $40 million per year. I need to be somewhere where I can have a lake house. It would be nice to be surrounded by good players—players that help you win championships."
While Brown’s comment has electrified Eagles fans, a Parsons-to-Philly move remains highly improbable.
Philadelphia already boasts one of the NFL’s best defenses, ranking top 10 in nearly every major category. Parsons would undoubtedly strengthen an already elite pass rush, but given the Eagles' salary cap outlook and impending extensions for their own stars, acquiring him would be a luxury rather than a necessity.
Beyond financial hurdles, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has a long history of refusing to trade stars within the division, making a deal between Dallas and Philadelphia virtually impossible.
While Parsons himself hasn’t requested a trade, whispers around a potential blockbuster deal have grown louder. The Cowboys have pressing needs at wide receiver, running back, and offensive line, and trading one of the NFL’s most valuable defensive assets could theoretically help them address multiple holes.
However, parting ways with a generational talent like Parsons would be a monumental decision for Dallas—one that seems unlikely unless contract talks take a dramatic turn.
For now, Parsons remains a Cowboy, but Brown’s bold claim has added another layer of intrigue to an already fierce NFC East rivalry.
With the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles looking to maintain their dominance and the Cowboys facing major offseason questions, this saga is far from over.
