One of the most talented and decorated players in Dallas Cowboys history has now requested a trade. Micah Parsons, amidst a mind-boggling front office approach to a contract extension, has decided he no longer wants to play their convoluted game.
In a statement released moments ago, Parsons laid out the full timeline of events, his initial hopes that he would have been able to stay in Dallas, and the quote “I no longer want to play for the Dallas Cowboys.”

Fans know the front office made this bed. Now they have to lie in it.
For years, we have seen Jerry and Stephen Jones tempt fate by denying star players contract extensions until the last minute. This has cost them money, hurt their relationships with players, and put them in a position for something like this to happen.
Now, it has, and what comes next is anyone’s guess.
Micah Parsons: What’s Next After Trade Request
There are only a few ways this plays out for the Cowboys, and now, none of them are good options.
First, they could reach an extension with Micah Parsons after unnecessary mudslinging and a skyrocketing in price. This seems impossible now, but trade requests rarely turn into trades.
They could also go through with his request and trade him, though The New York Times’ Dianna Russini is already reporting the team has “no intention” of doing so.
Lastly, and most costly, they could fail to get an extension signed, deny him his trade request, and watch one of the most valuable players in team history walk out the door in free agency for no return.
No matter how this debacle turns out, we must remember it didn’t have to be this way.
Micah Parsons deserves to get paid, and his patience has understandably run out.
incredible gm skills right???/ Hell no. Another art of the deal grifter??? Hey jerry you can play a game but sometimes the game may end up playing you.. but your the wheeler dealer. Have fun with that. Now the team focus will start to deteriorate. Thanks jerry another lost season for your loser record.
a Dallas Cowboys fan, since the 70’s I’m not surprise Jerry Jones doesn’t like talking to the players agent and this why the Cowboys won’t win a super bowl
In my best Teddy KGB ….
Pay the man his money.
However, unlike Teddy, Jerry is unable to recognize the truth. He amuses himself from his yacht while dedicated Cowboys fans suffer another downtrodden season. Fans grew to love the Cowboys through Tom Landry and then Jimmy J. Keep trying to impress us through your GM acumen Jerry, lol.
I have been a Cowboys fan since 1965 and I am sick and tired of watching the Jones Twins screw up the Cowboys. Jerry , Stephen step down and hire a real football person to run the team or sell them. It’s the only way it’s going to get better ! You 2 are the biggest idiots around.
Parsons is the ultimate hyped Cowboy. He in reality is barely better than average for the role of designated edge pass rusher. He gets at most 14 sacks a season out of 300 or so rush attempts and has never come close to leading the league. Parsons got 12 sacks for 2024. Fowler got 10 sacks for WAshington and was let go to rejoin the Boys and paid under 10 a year by the Boys . Where the very top pass rushers are also top run and general defense stars, Parsons is a liability outside the pass rush role. Fowler does not stop the run either. So, let’s stop the hype . Parsons is just Fowler but with all the Dallas media exaggeration. No more.
