Micah Parsons Requests Trade Amid Cowboys Contract Rift

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons has officially requested a trade after contract negotiations stalled and owner Jerry Jones publicly questioned his reliability due to injuries. Parsons, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract and has made the Pro Bowl every season since being drafted, expressed frustration over the team's refusal to involve his agent in talks and negative remarks from management. In a public statement, Parsons declared he no longer wants to play for Dallas, citing disrespect and unfavorable media narratives. The situation escalated after Jones minimized the agent's role and criticized Parsons' injury history, despite his elite on-field performance. Teammates and NFL peers have voiced support for Parsons and called on the Cowboys to resolve the dispute. Although Parsons does not plan to skip training camp to avoid fines, he insists his trade request remains firm.
