Lions Fans Slam Micah Parsons for Online Shot at Detroit
Detroit Lions fans were not too pleased with Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons going on social media and commenting on free agency rumors Monday evening.
The young linebacker is active on social media, and is known for sharing his opinion on a wide variety of topics, including non-football-related topics.
On Monday, the 23-year-old linebacker decided to weigh in on Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey being recruited by Lions wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Detroit's young wideout caused a stir online when he went on his podcast, and expressed publicly that Ramsey should join the Lions, as the team is currently on the rise and is projected to have a solid 2023 NFL season.
Parsons commented on social media, “I’m sorry no one going from L.A. to Detroit."
Interestingly, Parsons has been trying to recruit players to the Cowboys this offseason, following a disappointing exit again from the postseason.
The Cowboys were defeated by the 49ers in the postseason to end their 2023 season, and have fallen short of their goals yearly for nearly two decades.
“I would like to see us get, I like Daron Payne a lot,” Parsons recently told Pro Football Talk. “Would love to get another rusher, I would love to get a big body corner out there. I hope we keep LV (Leighton Vander Esch). Everybody wants a receiver, might as well get a receiver, too. I mean, you gotta spend the money. Yeah, I think we got a chance, we could be in Vegas next year."
Supporters of the Lions were quick to point out to Parsons that Dallas is not that much better of a destination.
Here is a sample of the reaction online to Parsons' comments.
