The Dallas Cowboys’ goal every season is the same as every other franchise in the NFL, but it carries more weight each time the Vince Lombardi Trophy isn’t back in Arlington at the end of the season. 

Owner Jerry Jones, at 81 years old, continues to put together the right teams on paper, but Dallas continues to fall short of that Super Bowl goal. The team hasn’t been to the game since they won it in 1995, and they’ve made playoff appearances 13 times since then, including the last three years. 

The Cowboys, now 1-1 to start the 2024 campaign, need all their stars on the roster to get that elusive trophy, and edge rusher Micah Parsons is among them.

Parsons, like any player in the NFL, wants to touch that trophy with confetti raining on their heads one day, but getting it for Jones is also something the Penn State product talked about with Fox News Digital because he made a promise to him when he was drafted 12th overall by the franchise in 2021. 

"Man, I promised Jerry when I first got here," Parsons said while surprising fans during a "shift" at Raising Cane’s x Post Malone x Dallas Cowboys restaurant in Dallas. "I said I’d be the best person for this team, I’d be the best thing to ever happen to this organization. That was a promise that I hold dear to me, and I’m just praying I get him that ring before anything happens, or before I leave out of this Cowboys uniform."

The last part is what makes some Cowboys fans nervous,
