Cowboys All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons hasn't been saying much, but is still making statements on his stance as he continues to go through a contract extension standoff with the team with less than two weeks to go before Week 1. 

The Cowboys ended the preseason on a high note with a 31-13 win over the Falcons. Now, Dallas is solely focused on their upcoming trip to Philadelphia to open the regular season. 

With the preseason now complete, the Cowboys are getting closer to cutting down the roster. Here's a handful of players who seemed to lock in a roster spot based off Friday's game.  

In his column, Mickey Spagnola uses both Cowboys history and Netflix's new docuseries America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys to underscore a timely lesson for 2025 — the importance of having a reliable backup quarterback behind Dak Prescott.
