The Dallas Cowboys have hit a massive wall over the past couple of weeks. Dallas enters a Week 10 game against the Philadelphia Eagles on a three-game losing streak.

In the loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9, they fell 27-21 to the Atlanta Falcons but also lost Dak Prescott to a hamstring injury. The odds are stacked against the Cowboys making the playoffs, but they may be getting EDGE Micah Parsons back in the fold.

He returned to practice on Wednesday as a limited participant, giving him a shot at suiting up on Sunday. Meanwhile, Parsons spoke with team reporters and addressed the trade rumors surrounding him.

Cowboys Rumors: Micah Parsons Talked About Trade Rumors

There has been noise online and in the national media that the Cowboys should move on from Parsons and trade him to kickstart their rebuild.

Instead of letting that get to him, Parsons isn't worried about the speculation.

"Me and Jerry (Jones) love each other. He’s done a lot of great things to change my life on and off the field. More than people will ever know. I think if Jerry ever had a problem with me he’d call me into his office and we’d have a sit down before anyone on national TV could."

The Penn State product is eligible for a monster extension this offseason and will look to become the highest defensive player in the NFL ($35 million annually or more). While his numbers haven't been stellar this season, he's still a top-notch defender.

In 54 career games, Parsons has registered 153 solo tackles and 41.5 sacks. The Cowboys have made Dak Prescott the highest-paid QB in the NFL this past September ($60 million annually), with CeeDee Lamb making $34 million per year.

The odds that Dallas dishes away their best player are slim to none and Parsons feels the same way. Jerry Jones loves star players, and that's exactly what Parsons is. No matter what people say about him.
