Micah Parsons hints at move to Rams in latest contract dispute twist, and Aaron Donald teases NFL return
For years, the Cowboys have held training camp in Oxnard, California, about a 90-minute drive from the Los Angeles Rams' home stadium.
As this year's training camp nears its conclusion and Parsons' contract dispute with the Cowboys continues, the star pass rusher is fueling speculation he could end up in Southern California.
Former Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald took notice of a doctored social media photo of Parsons wearing a Rams jersey and noted that if Parsons is traded to the Rams, he might "get in football shape."
Donald spent his entire standout NFL career with the Rams, retiring after the 2023 season.
Parsons caught wind of Donald's comment and responded by saying, "Don't tell me info like that." The exchange with Donald came after Parsons requested a trade.
The four-time Pro Bowler has one year remaining on his rookie contract and is seeking a long-term extension.
Parsons attended Cowboys practices during training camp but has not participated in any team drills. On Thursday, ESPN reported that "for the first time in training camp, Micah Parsons was not on the practice field." Sources told the network Parsons was experiencing back tightness.
Parsons missed four games last season but still finished the year with 12 sacks. He has recorded double-digit sacks in each of his four season in the NFL.
The Rams and Cowboys face off in both teams' 2025 preseason opener Saturday.

Four-star prospect Maximo Adams agrees to Longhorns visit
As Texas Longhorns basketball continues to build for the future, they got good news on the recruiting front on Monday. Four-star prospect Maximo Adams revealed the list of programs he will visit, and Texas made the cut. Now that Adams is moving into the next phase of the recruiting process, the Longhorns have a reason to celebrate. While the Longhorns' 2026 class would get a boost with Adams in the mix, they do face competition. He is also set to visit Kentucky, Michigan State, Kansas, North Carolina, and Duke. The interest from some of the top programs comes as no surprise after the numbers he has put up. During his junior season at Sierra Canyon School, Adams helped lead the Trailblazers to the program's first state title since 2019. He has also shined infront scouts at national showcases. Those showcases include the annual Pangos All-American Camp in Las Vegas and the EYBL circuit in the spring and summer. Currently, the California native is ranked as the 40th best prospect in his class by 247Sports. They also rank him as the 17th-best small forward. Those rankings are partly why Adams has seen his stock skyrocket over the last few months. With a final decision still months away, Adams will be a prospect to watch. He has drawn the attention of some of the best programs in the nation. That list could continue to grow the longer his recruitment stays open. Texas is hoping to be in the mix until the end. If the Longhorns can add Adams, they would get one of the most talented scorers in the 2026 class who still has room to grow at the college level.

Social media reactions to Steelers DT Cam Heyward's contract dispute
The contract stalemate between the PIttsburgh Steelers and defensive tackle Cam Heyward extended completely through training camp and is threatening to spill over into the regular season. To summarize, Heyward signed a contract extension last offseason, didn't think it was good enough and after a big 2024 season wants a big raise. Meanwhile, the Steelers seem content with not paying Heyward and see if he blinks or sits out games despite having already been paid $13 million this season. In going over social media, it seems the Steelers fanbase isn't as unified in Heyward's cause as they were for edge defender T.J. Watt. Here are some reactions from social media. The sticking points for fans with Heyward is about his comments he made prior to Aaron Rodgers signing with the Steelers in comparison to his comments about his own contract situation. Many fans also note how much money Heyward has made in his career and feel no sympathy for his plight, demanding even more millions.
