Cowboys Micah Parsons Weighs Trade Amid Contract Standoff

Dallas Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons is considering 'drastic measures,' including requesting a trade or severing ties with the team, as contract negotiations have stalled and the relationship between Parsons and the Cowboys has significantly deteriorated. Parsons, entering the final year of his rookie deal, reportedly feels undervalued compared to peers like T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett, who recently secured lucrative contracts, while the Cowboys’ front office remains unwilling to negotiate further. Owner Jerry Jones has publicly expressed concerns about guaranteed money and referenced Parsons’ past injuries, which may have further strained talks. Parsons has attended training camp but is not participating in on-field activities, fueling speculation about his future. Multiple sources report the two sides are not currently negotiating and are far apart on terms, raising the possibility that Dallas could lose one of the NFL’s top pass rushers. This high-profile standoff could have major ramifications for both Parsons’ career and the Cowboys’ defensive prospects.
