""I wanted a one and Parsons for Williams," Jones said on 103.5 The Fan. That seems like an absurd offer, but Jones left little up to interpretation. "A one and Parsons for Williams," he repeated. Later, he added that the deal did not go through because the Jets "did not have the cap room to pay [Parsons].""
"Jones also said something similar to WFAA's Ed Werder: "We tried at training camp with the Jets to basically make an exchange that was ready to go, heads up, with Quinnen and Micah and a 1, and we didn't get it done.""
"If Jones' latest revelation is true, that means two things. First, he was willing to sacrifice a massive amount of value to move Parsons and acquire Williams. Second, the Jets made a huge mistake in not accepting the deal."
Jerry Jones revealed an offer of Micah Parsons plus a first-round pick to the New York Jets in exchange for Quinnen Williams during training camp. Jones said the proposed deal failed because the Jets did not have the cap room to pay Parsons. Jones told WFAA that the Cowboys attempted a ready-to-go exchange involving Quinnen, Micah, and a first-rounder but could not complete it. Parsons was traded to the Packers for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks. The Cowboys later acquired Williams before the trade deadline for draft capital and a defensive tackle. Williams has 2.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, and mixed pass-rush metrics per Pro Football Focus.
