“Most definitely [he wants to stay here],” said Diggs. “Like I’ve heard him say before, he plays the game for us. We go out there —, blood, sweat and tears. We work out together. We train together.
”It’s really about him being with us, at the end of the day, so I know for sure he wants to be out there with us and helping this team win. This is his home. This is his family.
“Why wouldn’t he want to be here?”
It’s no secret the ongoing stalemate that exists between Parsons and the Cowboys has become contentious, to say the very least, but it hasn’t stopped the three-time Pro Bowler from remaining both present and fully engaged in practices and meetings, including being in the building for Monday’s practice as well — no doubt cheering on Diggs in his bid to be on the field as early as Week 1 in Philly.
That said, it remains undetermined if Parsons will be on the field himself for Thursday Night Football, though head coach Brian Schottenheimer and All-Pro quarterback Dak Prescott both have confidence they’ll have The Lion in uniform and chasing after Jalen Hurts in a little more than one week from now.
