Dallas Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones talked about the team’s contract negotiations with Star Linebacker Micah Parsons during a performance at “Fox & Friends” on Thursday morning.
Jones spoke with co-host Brian Kilmeade and Lawrence Jones about the ongoing standoff with Parsons. Pass Rusher is in the last year of his rookie contract and when the negotiations between the two parties have stopped, Parsons has requested a trade.

Billionaire Cowboys owner maintained that Parsons was a special player, but Linebacker needed to know he was just a piece of a bigger puzzle when it came to the team.
“Micah is a great player, not a good player, but an amazing player. He knows more than anyone it’s a team thing,” Jones said. “And then I know everyone is tired of hearing this, but you have to put together this puzzle so you can get some other people out there playing with Micah – that’s the art of the deal.
“And that’s what we’re trying to do and we’re trying to make this thing work. We have all the appreciation of what he can mean for the years to come. We’re proud to have him.”

Despite the dispute, cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer was optimistic that Parsons would be with the team for his opening match against the defending Super Bowl-Champion Philadelphia Eagles on September 4th.
“I feel good about it, yes,” he said, when asked if he thought Parsons would fit up week 1, per. Dallas Morning News.
“I feel good that Micah will be out there against Philadelphia Eagles.”
Parsons has been at Cowboys’ training camp facility in Oxnard, California, but he has seen practice from the sidelines. And although he has been seen next to Jones, there is talk between Star Edge Rusher’s representatives and Cowboys’ Front Office not arrived at all.
