What happened: Micah Parsons was on hand in Dallas to take in the Ivory Coast vs. Norway match. The appearance put the All-Pro pass rusher back in the city where he built his early NFL reputation.

Why it matters: The visit is notable because Parsons spends his offseason away from Dallas after his high-profile move out of the Cowboys' building, a departure that reshaped the franchise's defensive front. His return for an international soccer night, rather than anything football-related, underscores how much his relationship with the city has shifted since the lead-up to his trade.

What to watch: Attention turns back to football as Parsons prepares for the upcoming 2026 season with his new team. Any further offseason appearances or comments tied to Dallas will draw outsized scrutiny.
