Cowboys fans can relax over contract issues with Micah Parsons, as Jerry Jones asserts there's no need for worry on this front.
In a surprising turn of events, Dallas Cowboys' star edge rusher, Micah Parsons, has requested a trade from the team. The request has sparked a flurry of reactions, both from the team and the fans.
The saga began when owner Jerry Jones claimed that the Cowboys had offered Parsons a contract. However, Parsons' agent has stated that up until the trade request, there had been no conversations about a new contract with the Cowboys, and no demands regarding money or years had been made.
Parsons, who is one of the best edge rushers in the NFL, expressed frustration about being excluded from closed-door negotiations and the mistreatment related to injury narratives. He wanted an early extension after his third year, but the Cowboys delayed negotiations, contributing to escalating costs and tension.
Jones has taken jabs at Parsons throughout the negotiating process, and the two have not spoken since the trade request, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Jones falsely claimed that Parsons missed six games last season, when in fact he only missed four. He dismissed the "Pay Micah" chants as a "faint little sound" compared to calls for him to pay CeeDee Lamb.
Despite Jones' comments, a number of Cowboys have shown their support for Parsons. Teams mates have expressed their support in various ways, and several players have changed their social media profile pictures to an image of Parsons. Even CeeDee Lamb posted on social media in support of Parsons following his trade request.
Fans at Cowboys' practice have also expressed their desire for the team to pay Parsons, with chants of "Pay Micah" echoing when training camp opened. Jerry Jones, however, has stated that fans should not lose sleep over the trade request, and the team's official website has also reported on the situation.
Some analysts say that Jones has been criticized for waiting too long to secure Parsons, which has increased the financial stakes significantly. As the saga unfolds, it remains to be seen how the Cowboys will navigate this challenging situation.
