A week out from opening not just their year but the league’s season, Dallas decided to trade away Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. With that, Michael Irvin can’t see how that couldn’t affect the Cowboys in their first game next week against none other than the Philadelphia Eagles.
On ‘First Take’ on Friday, Irvin joined to discuss the impact of the Parsons trade on the Dallas Cowboys. That starts with their opener less than a week out in a divisional rivalry against the Eagles, who’ll be celebrating their win in Super Bowl LIX. However, it’s a matter of if it’ll affect them negatively or do so positively in motivating them.
“Yeah, this will be a difficult game for them to go into, certainly the Philadelphia game, right now with this situation. It really is. Now, you think about, it’s not just this. We’re coming off Dak Prescott’s situation. We’re coming off CeeDee Lamb’s situation. And then, right in the preseason, here you get a Trevon Diggs situation,” said Irvin. “I guarantee you that the locker room is rattled right now, and it’s definitely going to affect them next Thursday night.”
“Now, how it affects them is up to them. Do they say, you know, we’re tired of this and show up and not play? Or do they say we’re going to show everybody in play?” Irvin asked. “But, it’s going to affect them.”
