You got to show people your value. I just think that\u2019s, the difference, Like I go, okay, bet, and I just work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_cwczve9gq\">You couldn&#8217;t ask for a better answer than that. Parsons is not being a distraction, because he knows a deal will eventually come and the Brink&#8217;s truck will be backing up.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_akgl5gp2w\">Last season, Parsons totaled 12 sacks and 43 tackles.
