The Philadelphia Eagles had little trouble defeating an undermanned Dallas Cowboys squad on Sunday, claiming a decisive 34-6 victory. With Dak Prescott sidelined due to a hamstring injury that could keep him out for the season, the Cowboys’ offense struggled, unable to counter the Eagles’ dynamic offense led by Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley. Hurts passed for 202 yards and two touchdowns, while Barkley, with 66 rushing yards and a reception, helped keep Dallas on its heels.
Despite the tough loss, Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, a defensive powerhouse, left his mark. Following the game, Parsons shared a lighthearted handshake with Eagles running back and former Penn State teammate Saquon Barkley. The moment was caught on video by the Eagles’ official X account, and fans quickly took to social media to speculate about the pair’s conversation.

Fans had some spirited reactions, with many suggesting Parsons might one day suit up for Philadelphia. “Parsons wants to be an Eagle,” one fan posted, while another said, “No doubt Saquon said come join us next year.” Others echoed similar sentiments, sparking a wave of comments imagining Parsons wearing green in the future.

Parsons has shown great respect for Barkley in the past, recently applauding the Eagles’ acquisition of the running back after the Giants let him go. Speaking on his podcast, The Edge, Parsons shared his view on the Giants’ decision: “For Saquon, this is a blessing in disguise. People are seeing what you’re capable of when people appreciate you. The Giants did not appreciate him, and now the rest of the league is facing the consequences.”
While the idea of Parsons and Barkley joining forces remains fan speculation, it’s worth noting that Parsons’ current contract with the Cowboys runs through 2025. Until then, Cowboys fans will hope he continues to make plays for Dallas while Eagles fans keep dreaming of a day when Parsons might join their ranks.
