Jerry Jones noted the Cowboys do not have any plans on trading Micah Parsons.
The Dallas Cowboys will not be trading Micah Parsons. Jerry Jones himself noted this following Saturday’s training camp practice.
In case you somehow missed it... Micah Parsons reached a particular point in his contract negotiations with the Cowboys that led to him formally requesting a trade away from the team on Friday. Jerry clearly does not want to do that.
Even when Micah made the request it never seemed logical for the Cowboys to actually trade him away. The collective opinion seems to be that this will inevitably get worked out after some more theatrics, many people assumed all along that it would drag on and take forever like previous contract extensions for other superstars.
Cowboys fans do seem to be getting tired of this act, though. During Saturday’s practice, the first one following Micah’s public statement noting his request, fans expressed displeasure with team leadership and chanted on behalf of Micah.
None of this seems to bother Jerry Jones though, as indicated. In addition to saying that the Cowboys do not plan on trading away Micah he told fans that they needn’t lose any sleep over the situation.
Ultimately it is this writer’s opinion that no fans are losing sleep. This is the case because (as indicated) we all have a good idea of how this is going to end.
While we may not be losing sleep that the situation continues to follow the path that it does is upsetting as it causes unnecessary drama and friction for the team. Headlines from Oxnard right now should be about Donovan Ezeiruaku shining or George Pickens meshing with the team or any other positives that we have talked about, but the Micah issue has taken up everything else because reasons or something like that.
The Dallas Cowboys Way.
Just for full context... Jerry Jones noted that he has not (at the time of this X post) spoken to Micah in the aftermath of the trade request.
Technically speaking... part of Micah’s issue was the lack of involvement for his agent. Perhaps Jerry isn’t talking to Micah because the plan is to follow his request.
That seems like a very positive spin though!
