Micah Parsons is entering his fifth NFL season with an elevated focus, influenced by conversations with Dallas Cowboys legend DeMarcus Ware. During Tyron Smith's retirement ceremony, Ware noted Parsons' new mindset, emphasizing his desire to lead the team both on and off the field. The two have established a weekly dialogue, with Ware providing mentorship that reflects Parsons’ growth in humility and spiritual well-being. As talks of a contract extension loom, Ware asserts Parsons is unlikely to be traded, citing Jerry Jones’ supportive view of the linebacker.
