Parsons has been one of the top defenders in recent years
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The saga between star pass rusher Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys is still ongoing with only a few weeks to go before the start of the 2025 regular season.
Parsons requested a trade as he shed light on the lack of movement around contract-extension negotiations between him and the organization. Team owner Jerry Jones has not budged much since Parsons released a lengthy statement on the matter.

Jones was asked about the status of Parsons in a radio interview on Saturday.
"I’m glad to see he’s working out, in shape, and feels great, and so all of that’s good, and, I don’t have anything to comment on," Jones told 105.3 The Fan.
Parsons would likely seek to be paid in the same range as Cleveland Browns’ Myles Garrett, who received a massive four-year deal reportedly worth $160 million, or Pittsburgh Steelers’ T.J. Watt, who agreed to a three-year deal reportedly worth $123 million.

He requested a trade on Aug. 1.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"Yes I wanted to be here. I did everything I could to show that I wanted to be a Cowboy and wear the star on my helmet. I wanted to play in front of the best fans in sports and make this Americas [sic] team once again. The team my pops and I grew up cheering for way up in Harrisburg, PA. Unfortunately, I no longer want to be here," Parsons wrote in a statement.
"I no longer want to held to close door negotiations without my agent present. I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured while laying it on the line for the organization, our fans and my teammates. I no longer want narratives created and spread to the media about me. I had purposely stayed quiet in hopes of getting something done."
Jones has told fans "not to lose sleep" over the Parsons drama.
