It is no secret that the Dallas Cowboys’ 2024 NFL campaign did not go the way anyone in the organization wanted, and now the team is moving forward with a new coaching staff and aiming to correct course.
Coming off of a disappointing season can be difficult on players, but star edge rusher Micah Parsons is keeping a sense of optimism moving forward.
Parsons appeared on ESPN Radio during Super Bowl Week to discuss the team and he believes the lengthened offseason for Dallas could come as a blessing.

For Parsons, it’s all about “resetting” which may be exactly what the team needs.

“Honestly I think it’s good that we’re kind of resetting,” Parsons said. “We’re resetting when it comes to certain players and things, so we can just focus on building the culture.
“I just think it was kind of an imbalance of players between the old school way and the youth way and I think it gives leeway for guys like me to step in and kind of take charge and lead.”

With a new coaching staff and a player like Parsons who wants to take charge and step into an even larger leadership role, it could be a promising offseason for Dallas.
Of course, everyone will feel a little better about the team’s culture improving if Jerry Jones opens the checkbook in free agency.
