The Dallas Cowboys are listening to trade inquiries for All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons, though no trade is imminent. An aggressive offer could produce a quick deal, and the team wants resolution before the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. Owner/general manager Jerry Jones appears willing to at least hear offers for Parsons for the first time. Contract negotiations faltered after Jones attempted to negotiate without Parsons' agent, creating a stalemate. Allegations of behind-the-scenes issues and a reported back injury have complicated the situation. Dallas is unlikely to trade Parsons to a division rival.
Several teams have spoken to the Dallas Cowboys about a potential Micah Parsons trade, and for the first time the Cowboys appear willing to at least listen, according to multiple sources. No trade is imminent, but another team always could be aggressive enough to make it come together quickly, per sources. The Cowboys would like to resolve the situation, one way or another, in the coming days, with their season opener next Thursday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Of all the contract battles across the league, Parsons' should have been the easiest to figure out. He's one of the league's best players, only just entering his prime. Jones thought he had a deal with the Penn State product without his agent's involvement. That was a grave mistake, and he's been unwilling to budge since. Reports about Parsons being a nuisance behind the scenes and his supposed back injury have only clouded the issue further.
