Micah Parsons requested a trade from the Dallas Cowboys, expressing dissatisfaction with the organization regarding contract negotiations and perceived media narratives. Owner Jerry Jones dismissed the trade request, affirming his high regard for Parsons and suggesting that such negotiations are typical in the NFL. Jones discussed the contract situation, but remained ambiguous about Parsons' availability for the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. Parsons was present at training camp, despite his grievances about the team's treatment and handling of his injuries.
"Unfortunately I no longer want to be here. I no longer want to be held to close door negotiations without my agent present. I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured while laying it on the line for the organization, our fans, and my teammates."
"I think the world of Micah. And that (request) is just a part of negotiation."
"That is 30 years of old stuff, some of these issues we're hearing about trading, hurt backs, all that kind of stuff."
"I don't want to talk about my expectations. Now that is speculating. But I can speak to anything that's happened up until now and that has no sensitivity to me."
