In a stunning twist, All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons has taken to social media to declare his desire to leave the Dallas Cowboys — and he’s made it crystal clear where he wants to go next:
“I want to be a Raider. No politics, no waiting. Just football. I’ll give everything to this city.”

The post — which quickly went viral — signals the end of a turbulent chapter in Dallas, where contract disputes and growing tension with the front office pushed Parsons to his breaking point.
Now, the 25-year-old defensive star is setting his sights on Las Vegas, a franchise known for its grit, swagger, and defensive hunger. With new head coach Antonio Pierce embracing a no-nonsense culture and Maxx Crosby already leading the charge, Parsons believes he can help turn the Raiders into contenders again.
Insiders say Parsons has grown frustrated watching peers like T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett secure long-term extensions while his own negotiations have stalled. But more than money, Parsons wants respect — and a fresh start.
“Vegas plays with edge. That’s what I bring. That’s where I belong.”

Whether the Raiders front office makes the call remains to be seen, but fans are already buzzing about the possibility of pairing Parsons with Crosby and Jack Jones on a revamped defense.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has yet to issue a statement, but the message is loud and clear: Micah Parsons wants to wear silver and black — and he’s ready to bleed for it.
