“Yes I would be here. I did all I could to show that I would be a cowboy and carry the star of my helmet. I would play in front of the best fans in sports and do this America [sic] Hold again. The team my pops and I grew up cheering on the way up into Harrisburg, Pa. Unfortunately, I will no longer be here, ”Parsons began.
“I will no longer have held to close door negotiations without my agent present. I no longer want shots taken on me to be injured while putting it on the line of the organization, our fans and my teammates. I no longer want stories created and spread to the media about me.
Parsons then continued with how he aimed to get an extension after his third season, but the team was not interested.
“I was okay with that, did not complain and focused on the 2024 season,” Parsons said.
Parsons then said he was willing to risk his price rising in favor of getting a deal done before rather than later, but there has been “Radio Silence” from the team.
According to Parsons, he and Jerry Jones had discussed what he wanted in a contract in March, “but at no time did I think this should be a formal negotiation, and I informed Mr. Jones afterwards that my agent would reach out to think would get things done.”
The team “decided to become quiet,” said All-Pro, and there has still not been a “call, email or text to my agent to start a negotiation.”
“I have made a tough decision that I no longer want to play for Dalla’s cowboys. My trading request has been presented to Stephen Jones personally,” Parsons concluded.

Top defensive players like Myles Garrett and TJ Watt received their big money-wage days during the high season, and it looks like Parsons would be next in line. Dallas also expanded the tight end Jake Ferguson and defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa during the high season.
Cowboys fans hecked recently Team Jones with “Pay Micah” song at training camp.
Jones took a seemingly random shot at Parsons when Camp began and said that even though they find the right numbers in the deal, it doesn’t mean they want him on the field. Jones said Parsons was injured six games last season, though he was only four due to injury.
Jones also brought quarterback up DAK PrescottThe highest paid on the position in the league after signing an expansion before the 2024 season that played only eight games last year due to injury.
Parsons enters the last year of his rookie deal. He has recorded 256 tackles, 63 tackles for a loss and 52.5 bags in 63 career games. He has been one of the best edgerushers in the NFL since entering the league in 2021.

Cowboys are, of course, eligible for franchise-tag-parsons twice after this season, but he makes it clear that he doesn’t want to be in this scenario.
