""If anybody doesn't think that this is rolling the dice, I don't know what rolling the dice looks like," Jones said. "You make decisions like this and the consequences usually when they have this type of critique or this type of impact, you're not out here playing pinochle. You really aren't if you're taking risk. And we all are there and if it weren't risk then you wouldn't have so any people probably disagreeing with my decision.""
""I worried when we did Herschel Walker to Minnesota. Of course," Jones said. "A great player, I've had some real success with great players. Deion Sanders and I would put Charles Haley in there too, OK. But we also know there was a lot of other supporting cast around Deion and a lot of supporting cast around Charles Haley, too. I weighed that [in the Parsons' trade]. I did that for months around here, weighing that very good.""
The Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers for two first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. Fans in Green Bay chanted appreciation toward the Cowboys' owner and general manager after Parsons' debut. The Cowboys' leadership framed the transaction as a high-risk, calculated move undertaken after months of deliberation. Past blockbuster trades such as acquisitions of Charles Haley and Herschel Walker were referenced to underscore the role of surrounding supporting cast in translating talent into championships. The trade was characterized as a deliberate gamble to reshape roster resources and draft assets.
