"A week after labeling any trade talk around Micah Parsons pure BS Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is reportedly willing to listen to offers for the All-Pro pass rusher, ESPN reported on Thursday. Dallas are scheduled to kick off the season next Thursday at Philadelphia, and Parsons, one of the best players in the NFL, hasn't been a participant in a full practice since last season. Parsons requested a trade in one of the multiple escalatory landmarks in the ongoing staredown with Jones over his contract."
"Jones, who made clear he prefers to talk contracts directly with his players and not their agents, stated publicly that he and Parsons agreed to the parameters of a deal in the spring. ESPN pegged the terms of the five-year extension at an average of $40.5m per season. The highest-paid defensive player in terms of average annual value is Steelers pass rusher T.J. Watt ($41m)."
Jerry Jones is willing to listen to offers for All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons amid an escalating contract standoff. Parsons has not participated in a full practice since last season and requested a trade during the dispute. Dallas insists Parsons remains under contract and should play now and during the 2025 season if he seeks a long-term deal. Parsons is on the fifth-year option worth $21.3 million in 2025 and filed a grievance arguing he should be classified as a linebacker, which would raise the option salary to $24 million. Proposed extension parameters average $40.5 million per season, aligning with top defensive salaries and implying an enormous acquisition cost.
