DRAMA ESCALATES: Dallas Cowboys Are Exploring The Option To Trade Linebacker Micah Parsons
The ongoing contract standoff between the Dallas Cowboys and their superstar linebacker Micah Parsons has reached a critical boiling point, with sources indicating the team is now seriously exploring trade options. This dramatic turn comes after months of stalled negotiations and a highly-publicized “hold-in” by Parsons, who has been using a reported back injury to justify his absence from preseason activities.
What began as a typical contract negotiation has soured, becoming a public feud that has many questioning Parsons’ future in Dallas. The star pass rusher, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract, has been vocal about his frustration, even making a trade request on social media. This has been met with a cryptic response from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who has publicly questioned Parsons’ commitment, stating that this is a “team thing.”
The situation has been described by ESPN’s Adam Schefter as “personal,” with no communication between Parsons’ agent and the Cowboys’ front office since early spring. While the Cowboys have the option to franchise tag Parsons for the next two seasons, the public fallout and the player’s clear desire for a long-term commitment has made a trade a more viable, albeit difficult, option.
