Skip Bayless blasts Micah Parsons in long rant

Skip Bayless is never one to hold back with his opinion, and he let Micah Parsons have it on Labor Day. On his podcast, Bayless let a long rant fly about why the Dallas Cowboys are better off after having traded the edge rusher to the Green Bay Packers.

The trade put an end to ongoing contracts negotiations between Parsons and the Cowboys that had dragged out through the entire offseason. Now that the shocking news has sunk in for most football fans, Bayless took aim at Parsons while teasing the latest episode of The Skip Bayless Show on social media with an unhinged, all caps attack on Parsons.

“MICAH IS A PLAYER WITH WHAT I CALL ‘LOSER INTANGIBLES’ – A PLAYER WHO IS NOT THE KIND OF COLD-BLOODED FOOTBALL KILLER YOU NEED TO INSPIRE A LOCKER ROOM AND WIN A SUPER BOWL,” Bayless wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Parsons agreed to a four-year, $188 million contract with the Packers. The contract includes $120 million fully guaranteed at signing and $136 million in total guarantees, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.

Some would say it’s well-deserved, as Parsons has been a menace getting to the quarterback early in his career. He is only the second player in NFL history to record at least 12 sacks in each of his first four seasons.

However, Bayless took issue with what he saw in Parsons’ run defense, especially in the playoffs. He explained why to start off the rant on his podcast.

“I have said this for two long years that Micah Parsons had become a liability against the run,” Bayless said. “I still have nightmares of him just backpedaling, (saying) ‘I don’t know wanna do this. Leave me out of this. No runs.’ That was Jerry Jones’ main message about why he traded Micah. They’re just not good enough with Micah against the run, especially in big games and especially in bigger playoff games. Last year with Micah on the field, the Eagles ran for 187 yards and won 34-6 at Jerry World. Then the Eagles ran for 179 yards in a 41-7 wipeout in Philly.

“…In Micah’s three playoff losses as a Dallas Cowboy, San Francisco ran for 169 at Dallas. Then for 113 at San Francisco, a little better. But here came Green Bay. In that nightmare at Jerry World, Green Bay ran for 143 yards in that playoff game. It was 27-0 before halftime with Micah on the field.”
