Micah Parsons closing in on another historic NFL mark

The Dallas Cowboys have had an up-and-down 2024-25 NFL campaign and ultimately fell short of expectations, failing to reach the postseason.

One bright spot has been star edge rusher Micah Parsons, who has continued to prove he is among the league's elite defenders.

Parsons missed four games early in the season with a high-ankle sprain, but he has still recorded 9.5 sacks

Entering Week 17, Parsons is knocking on the door of another historic NFL mark. With half of a sack, Parsons will join an exclusive club of Hall of Fame talent.

With half a sack on Sunday, Micah Parsons can become the 4th player since 1982 with at least 10 sacks across their first four NFL seasons, joining Hall of Famers Dwight Freeney, Derrick Thomas, and Reggie White.#DallasCowboys pic.twitter.com/95sePFHuYp

Parsons is in line for a new contract and has made headlines in recent weeks with his comments that he does not need to be the highest-paid defensive player in the league, because he wants the team to add talent around him to imrpove their chances of making a deep run in the postseason next season.

We will see if he can reach the historic mark in a matter of days.

The Cowboys and Eagles are set to kickoff at 1:00 p.m. ET on FOX. The game will be called by Joe Davis and Greg Olsen, with Pam Oliver reporting from the sideline.
