""I really like Micah. I appreciate the four years that we've had him here, and he's a great player. So we are very appreciative of the fact that he's a great player," Jones said. "There's no question that I could have signed him in April. We all know that to have agreements, all parties have to agree, but this was by design. I did make Micah an offer. It wasn't acceptable, and I honor the fact that it wasn't done in the way that he wanted to do it: through an agent.""
""Obviously, we did think it was in the best interest of our organization. Not only the future, but right now, this season as well," Jerry Jones told members of the media last night. "We've gained a Pro Bowl player. We've gained a Pro Bowl player in an area that we had big concern in or concerns in on the inside of our defense.""
""There's not an ounce of vindictiveness," Jones explained. "There's no bad feelings on my part about the fact that we didn't come together on an agreement.""
The Dallas Cowboys traded four-time Pro Bowler Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers for two first-round draft picks and three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and COO Stephen Jones held a press conference explaining the decision. Jones said the move serves both immediate and future team needs, addressing interior defensive concerns. Jones praised Parsons and said the team attempted to reach a contract agreement but offers were unacceptable to Parsons. Reports indicated the Cowboys offered Parsons a five-year, $202.5 million deal while the Packers' reported contract was four years, $188 million. Jones denied any vindictiveness.
