Micah Parsons' mom, Sherese, has shared her thoughts on the suggestion that Micah is distracted by his podcasting work and not entirely focused on playing for the Dallas Cowboys.
Parsons started a podcast called The Edge in 2023 and some fans think it has been a distraction for him, but Sherese says that this is not the case.
She spoke on the Law Nation Sports podcast which was released on Tuesday and defended her son.
"Let me tell you," Sherese Parsons said. "The podcast, don't affect nothing that he does. Trust me, he don't really have to do a lot with the podcast. Only thing he gotta do is go on and talk. Bleacher Report comes and sets everything up."
Parsons fights his corner
Just a few weeks ago, Micah himself had to speak out against these suggestions when former Cowboys teammate DeMarcus Lawrence criticised him for spending time tweeting and using social media.
Micah spoke to Clarence Hill of All City DLLS and said: "I think it's ridiculous. You watch the tape.
"There's no question I'm locked in. I'm giving my actual best effort out there on the field, which I think, that's all that matters.
"I must be the leader of my family, to take care of my family, and that's to provide for them. I keep the main thing, the main thing. But I like off-field adventures, too."
Regardless of this, Parsons is thought to be close to a contract renewal with the Cowboys, with owner Jerry Jones discussing the situation earlier in the week.
"Most of the issues, we are in agreement on. We discussed it all," Jones said Tuesday on the sidelines of the NFL's annual meeting. "But we obviously don't have an agreement relative to the new contract."
