Dallas Cowboys owner and president Jerry Jones has provided his first remarks about Micah Parsons after trading him to the Green Bay Packers.
Jones sent Parsons to the Packers in exchange for defensive lineman Kenny Clark and two first-round picks, ending a four-year stint between the two parties. Negotiations took a downturn when Parsons wanted his agent to be present during contract talks, something that Jones wasn’t keen on appeasing.
Hour safter the trade, Jones hosted media for a press conference on Thursday night. He gave his thanks to Parsons for representing the team well throughout his four seasons there, while stating the reason to why they couldn’t come together on an agreement for the contract extension.
“I really like Micah. I appreciate the four years we had him here. He’s a great player. No question, I could have signed him in April. … This was by design. I did make Micah an offer and it wasn’t acceptable and I honored the fact that it wasn’t done how he wanted — through an agent,” Jones said, via NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
