Hot: Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb Roast Quinyon Mitchell in “Salt Pool” — Cowboys, Eagles Fans in Chaos

NFL’s New Offseason Drama Is Here — And It’s Personal

Things just got salty — literally — between Dallas Cowboys stars Micah Parsons, CeeDee Lamb, and Philadelphia Eagles rookie Quinyon Mitchell. In an offseason moment that has set the internet on fire, Parsons and Lamb teamed up to “roast” Mitchell during a viral poolside hangout that fans are now calling the “Salt Pool Incident.”

The Viral Clip That Sent Cowboys and Eagles Fans Into Meltdown

It all started when Parsons posted a playful but ruthless video of himself and Lamb enjoying a chill session at a luxury Dallas resort — with Quinyon Mitchell unexpectedly in attendance. What began as light banter quickly escalated into a full-blown roasting session, with Parsons and Lamb “drowning” the Eagles rookie in jokes, playful trash talk, and savage reminders of the Cowboys’ dominance over the Eagles in last season’s NFC clashes.

The clip shows Mitchell trying to clap back, but fans couldn’t help but notice the rookie looking a little out of his depth as Parsons and Lamb splashed around, declaring the pool “full of salt and tears — Eagles tears.”

Fans From Both Sides Demand a Timeout

The playful bullying instantly exploded across social media, with Cowboys fans celebrating the “Salt Pool” roast as an instant offseason classic. But not everyone was laughing.

Eagles fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to demand Parsons and Lamb “stop the roasting” and accused the duo of “psychologically targeting” Mitchell before he’s even played a snap in the NFL. Meanwhile, Cowboys fans doubled down, turning the phrase “Salt Pool” into a trending hashtag and meme festival.

NFL World Reacts: Is This All Fun — Or Too Far?

NFL insiders, players, and fans are split on the wild scene. Some see it as classic NFL offseason banter, while others wonder if Parsons and Lamb crossed a line by dragging a rookie into a public roasting session.

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith weighed in, calling it “peak Cowboys energy,” adding, “They live for the smoke, and they’re giving Philly fans all the sodium they can handle.”

Quinyon Mitchell Responds: Rookie’s Savage Clapback?

Amid the chaos, Quinyon Mitchell finally broke his silence, posting a cryptic message on Instagram: “Stay salty, I’m built for the deep end.”
The message has Eagles fans rallying behind their young star, promising that Mitchell will get the last laugh when the two teams meet on the field.

The NFC East Drama Is Heating Up Early

The “Salt Pool” saga has officially added fuel to the already fiery Cowboys-Eagles rivalry, with fans marking their calendars for the inevitable face-off in the regular season. One thing is certain: the NFC East has once again proven it’s the drama capital of the NFL.

Stay tuned — because this pool party is far from over.
