Reese, Pam and Alex discuss Jalen Carter avoiding additional suspension after spitting on Dak Prescott and Jerry Jones trading Micah Parsons.
Jalen Carter was not suspended beyond his immediate ejection during the Eagles' Week 1 game against the Cowboys. The incident occurred just six seconds into the season opener when Carter was ejected for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott before the first play. The NFL ruled that the ejection would count as a one-game suspension, and Carter forfeited his Week 1 game check, amounting to approximately $57,222. He will not face any additional disciplinary action and is eligible to return for Week 2, when the Eagles face the Chiefs. Is this fair? Should Carter have been suspended for Week 2 against the Chiefs?
In August 2025, Micah Parsons requested a trade from the Dallas Cowboys amid a contract dispute, stating that he no longer wanted to play for the team. Initially, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones downplayed the request, calling it part of the negotiation process. However, the situation escalated, and later that month, the Cowboys traded Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round draft picks (2026 and 2027). Shortly after the trade, Parsons signed a four-year, $188M contract with the Packers, including $136M guaranteed—making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Over the weekend, Parsons made his debut for Green Bay in their season-opening win over Detroit, where he notched a sack and made an immediate impact on the team’s defense. Were there better offers on the table for Jerry Jones and the Cowboys?
