Dallas Cowboys fans are reeling after quarterback Dak Prescott sent what many are calling a “thinly veiled but brutal” taunt aimed directly at his former teammate Micah Parsons and the defensive star’s new team
Prescott who has never been known for public trash talk stunned the NFL world with his sharp words during a media appearance on Wednesday when asked about Parsons’ departure and his prospects with his new franchise Prescott smiled before delivering a line that immediately lit up social media insiders claim his message was far from accidental and was carefully crafted to sting
“Some guys chase new contracts some guys chase rings I know where my loyalty is” Prescott declared his tone measured but his choice of words unmistakably cutting given that Parsons’ highly publicized move was framed as a step towards both money and championship glory
Parsons who left Dallas after months of speculation signed a blockbuster deal with his new team just days earlier sparking heated debate among Cowboys supporters many believe Prescott’s jab was aimed not only at Parsons but at the culture of players leaving Dallas in pursuit of greener pastures
The quarterback’s comment quickly sparked a frenzy online with fans accusing him of pettiness while others praised him for standing up for the Cowboys brand “Dak just drew a line in the sand” one fan tweeted while another accused him of “acting salty because Micah wanted out”
Former players and analysts also weighed in with several suggesting the remark could add fuel to an already fiery season with Dallas and Parsons’ new team set to face off later this year “If you thought this rivalry was already hot Dak just poured gasoline on it” one insider told DailyMail Sports
Sources inside the Cowboys locker room claim the comment has only intensified the tension with several players privately admitting they feel caught in the middle of an ugly public rift between two of the franchise’s biggest names
For now Prescott is standing by his words making it clear he is not backing down and if anything doubling down on his loyalty message “I ride with Dallas that’s who I am” he said leaving no doubt that the war of words with Parsons and his new team has only just begun
