Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones provided an update regarding linebacker Micah Parsons' recent trade request, emphasizing that there are no plans to move the Pro Bowl player. During a discussion with reporters, Jones shared insights into the ongoing negotiations with Parsons, which have garnered attention since Parsons announced his trade request on social media.

Jones noted that the Cowboys had previously proposed a record-breaking contract for Parsons, aimed at being one of the highest for a non-quarterback. However, according to reports, discussions stalled due to the absence of Parsons' agent in the negotiation talks. Despite these challenges, Jones expressed his confidence in the current state of the relationship between the team and the linebacker, reassuring fans not to be overly concerned about the situation.

Parsons, who has maintained impressive performance statistics, including at least 12.0 sacks in each of his first four seasons, communicated in his trade request that he had sought a discussion regarding an extension ahead of the 2024 season. Jones characterized the trade request as a common aspect of contract negotiations, stating that it is a recurring theme he has encountered throughout his extensive tenure in the NFL.
