Dak Prescott confident Micah Parsons will get extension: 11 is a Cowboy
'F—, man,' Prescott said he wrote to Parsons.
'It wasn't f— you, Micah. Or f— them,' Prescott told Jori Epstein of USA Today. 'It's more of a f— this is frustrating for everybody involved.'
The Cowboys quarterback was where Parsons is two times, including this time a year ago. Unlike Parsons, Prescott never requested a trade, and he received a four-year, $240 million extension the day of the 2024 season opener.
'I can say from experience that it's just frustrating,' Prescott said Thursday, via Tommy Yarrish of the team website. 'I hate that he's going through it, but as I've told him, keep handling things the way that you are, and I believe that he should be paid.'
Cowboys ownership wasn't fazed by Parsons' trade request, calling it part of negotiations. The team has 'no intention' of trading Parsons, and Prescott expects Parsons' contract impasse to end the same way his, CeeDee Lamb's, Ezekiel Elliott's and Zack Martin's contract situations ended, which is with a contract extension.
Prescott said he has not even considered playing without Parsons as a teammate.
'No. Not necessarily,' Prescott said. 'I think if I wouldn't have been in his shoes, and watched other guys be in his shoes and get rewarded, maybe. But I've got faith in the Joneses and the team, as I do in Micah and his team.
'Eleven is a Cowboy.'

Golf Fans Celebrating Rickie Fowler's Achievement Sunday Night
Golf Fans Celebrating Rickie Fowler's Achievement Sunday Night originally appeared on The Spun. Rickie Fowler is deserving of some congratulations on Sunday evening. The former Oklahoma State Cowboys golfer, known for rocking all-orange on Sundays, hasn't been in contention at big tournaments in a while. Fowler, now 36, was once viewed in a similar group to Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, etc. He was No. 4 in the world in 2016. Previously, he was the No. 1 ranked amateur golfer in the world for 36 weeks in 2007 and 2008. Fowler has fallen on tough times in recent years, going through different swing coaches, strategies and more. He didn't play in The Masters in four of the past five years. He didn't play in the U.S. Open in three of the past five years. He's finished in the Top 10 of a major tournament just twice in six years. However, Fowler is making a big move in the FedEx Championship. Fowler finished in a tie for sixth place at the St. Jude Championship on Sunday. His finish guarantees him a spot in the BMW Championship. It also guarantees him a spot in all of the signature events next year. "WE ARE MOVING ON! RICKIE FOWLER HAS QUALIFIED FOR THE BMW CHAMPIONSHIP. IN FOR ALL SIGNATURE EVENTS NEXT YEAR!" Rickie Fowler Tracker shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. Congratulations are pouring in for Fowler on Sunday evening, following his major achievement. "This is Awesome!!!👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎," one fan wrote.

"So happy for him man, his games been trending big time for the last 2/3 months, why not go and win the damn thing next week," one fan added. "Golf is a better place with Rickie," one fan added. "Never been more proud to be a Rickie fan. This guy could've taken the LIV money, but instead was busting his butt to qualify on his own merit for 2026," one fan added. "What a roller coaster ride. At least NBC covered most of his round," one fan added. Well done, Rickie!

'Beyond a joke': NRL fans call for immediate rule change after Cowboys incident
NRL fans have once again called for a change to the rules after a Cowboys trainer impeded the game when entering the field during a bizarre moment in the Eels' win at CommBank Stadium. With the scores locked at 18-all with 13 minutes left to play, the Cowboys were put on their heels after a great kick from Parramatta. Cowboys back Braidon Burns threw a wild pass that evaded Semi Valemei and went out the back and flew towards the in-goal area. However, the ball bounced and hit the Cowboys trainer running behind play. The trainer had just entered the field for the first tackle and didn't expect the ball to go behind the Cowboys backline. But it did and play stopped after the players were left bewildered at what happens next. To the astonishment of NRL fans, the referee ruled a mutual infringement and the Cowboys got a play-the-ball. This heavily favoured the Cowboys with the Eels potentially going to force a drop out if it didn't hit the trainer and a Cowboys player scooped it up near his own try line. Under the current NRL rules, the team in possession is given the ball if it hits a trainer in their defensive half, but it goes to the opposition if it occurs in the attacking half. And fans have once again called for a change of rules surrounding trainers after the second incident in two weeks. Last week, a Panthers trainer copped a five-game ban for running across Jayden Campbell's line of sight when he was lining up a conversion with the Titans leading Penrith. Much was made of the Panthers incident with the club copping criticism for previous trainer controversies in recent years. This isn't the first time the ball has ricocheted into a trainer either. During the 2019 NRL grand final, Roosters half Luke Keary had his kick charged down by Sia Soliola. The ball hit Soliola's head and incredibly ricocheted into a Roosters trainer's head 10 metres away. There was every chance a Raiders player was going to get to the ball first and make a break down the field, but play stopped and it benefited the Roosters. The NRL's rules state that blue shirt trainers must be off the field after the fourth tackle. The rules also state that the trainers are only allowed on the field during stoppages, or to run messages to the team a maximum three times per half. Furious NRL fans want rules around trainers changed The Steeden bouncing into the Cowboys trainer was a freak accident. The trainer was following the rules and allowed on the field. Although it hasn't stopped fed up fans calling for an amendment to the rule to only allow staff on the field during breaks. There are growing calls for trainers to only enter play when the ball goes out of play, a try is scored or during a general stoppage due to an injury. This would reduce the risk of trainers getting in the way again. Others feel the 'mutual infringement' rule needs a change as well. The Cowboys were at a disadvantage during play when the ball hit the trainer, but were rescued with a play-the-ball thanks to the rule. Many fans feel regardless of how it occurs, if a ball hits your trainer on the field it should be a turnover to the opposition. The NRL could be set to review a number of rules around trainers at the end of the season with two incidents in two weeks causing uproar. And fans feel the less we see of trainers on the field the better. Let's get these trainers off the field @NRL — IMARoostàr🐓 (@IMAROOSTAR) August 10, 2025 Sorry what?!? And Cowboys get to play the ball, what a joke @NRL #NRLEelsCowboys — Hynesight (@Hynesight7) August 10, 2025 Can we seriously look at the trainers involvement on the field in the offseason. Result aside tonight its super annoying to look at when you watch games. The game will open up so much more without trainers. #nrleelscowboys #NRL — Joseph (@JosephCasa3) August 10, 2025 Something needs to be done about @NRL trainersFirst, last week, now during the Parra game was going in goal, and it hits the Cowboys trainer — Sam Curro (@samcurr95262813) August 10, 2025 Ban the trainers from the field of play FFS. It's beyond a joke. Other contact sports would look at it and piss themselves laughing. It's beyond a joke. @nrl — Chris (@TeddyCJD) August 10, 2025 NRL Trainers simply should never be on the field during any kind of general play unless there's a stoppage — Cam Sánchez (@CamMagicMan) August 10, 2025 Andrew Voss calls for less trainer involvement Veteran commentator Andrew Voss expressed his outrage last week following the Panthers incident against the Titans. Voss called for the NRL to implement a rule change around trainers that would eliminate many of the issues and frustrations from fans. "Can we bring in a rule when a team passes 50 (halfway line), the trainer must get off the field?" Voss posed on SEN radio last week. "They don't need to be there after that. No one needs water and only in the case of an injury. The NRL need to make this change today." On Sunday during the Eels and Cowboys game he said: 'Seriously, is there any need for the trainer to be out there so early in a set? What are we doing. Peter V'landys (ARL boss), you have work to do.'

NFL Fans Sound Off on Dak Prescott's Bold Cowboys Claim
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Coming off an injury-filled season, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is feeling confident. The veteran passer has a lot to prove after his team struggled mightily through the 2024 NFL season. This year, Prescott is thinking of the NFC Championship at least. As the Cowboys' QB1 shook hands with the owner of the Los Angeles Rams before the Cowboys-Rams preseason battle on Saturday, Prescott reportedly told Stan Kroenke that the Cowboys would meet the Rams in the conference title game. via @MikeLeslieWFAA: Dak Prescott shook hands with Rams owner Stan Kroenke, and then told him "We'll meet y'all in the NFC Championship." TWEET NFL Fans React to Prescott's Comments via @SnipeMyles: He's aware the NFC Championship takes place after the divisional round right? @BraidedSochan: The rams will be playing. The cowboys will be at the meet and greet. @RealTJS2: Is Dak getting traded? @christpreme: Nice of him to support another team in the championship game! @david_nolewajka: Is he buying tickets to the game? Dak Prescott #4 of the Dallas Cowboys talks with NFL owner Stan Kroenke before the NFL Preseason 2025 game between the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on August 09, 2025 in... Dak Prescott #4 of the Dallas Cowboys talks with NFL owner Stan Kroenke before the NFL Preseason 2025 game between the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on August 09, 2025 in Inglewood, California. MorePrescott didn't suit up for Saturday's preseason opener for the Cowboys. Although he's back to being healthy again, the Cowboys will ease Prescott back into the mix. Last season was a difficult start to a major contract extension for Prescott. After signing a four-year contract, worth $240 million, Prescott battled through an injury halfway through the year. By November, he would undergo surgery and missed the remainder of the season. While Prescott's absence was certainly a major blow for the Cowboys, the veteran passer was struggling through his first eight games of action prior to the setback. Prescott had a 3-5 record, completing just 64 percent of his passes for 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Prescott's follow-up to an MVP-caliber year was certainly disappointing. Without him, the Cowboys missed the playoffs. Heading into the 2025 NFL season, Prescott clearly feels confident as he's feeling healthy again. Dallas helped their franchise quarterback by adding another weapon in the passing game with former Pittsburgh Steelers standout wide receiver George Pickens. Despite Prescott getting healthy again, along with the new additions, NFL fans clearly aren't too confident in the Cowboys heading into the 2025 NFL season. History doesn't bode well for Prescott's Cowboys. They've had some successful regular seasons, making the playoffs seven times since 2016. However, they are just 2-5 in the postseason since the Prescott era kicked off. Their 2023 playoff run ended in one game after a 12-5 year.
