Parsons, 26, wants a new contract that would reflect his status as one of the stars in the NFL.
It is claimed he is after a deal worth £200MILLION which would make him one of the best-paid players ever.
However, general manager Jerry Jones has been reluctant to stump up the cash.
The distance between Parsons and the Cowboys seems to be growing as he made the change to his social media.
He also posted a picture on X of an Old Testament bible verse – Micah 7:8.
It read: “Even if I fall, I will rise. The Lord is my light.”
Parsons’ decision comes after he was tipped with a trade deal away from the Cowboys.
NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport has suggested that he could make the controversial switch to the Green Bay Packers.
Rapoport said: “I would expect that the Packers would be among the teams interested.
“They have paid Jordan Love, they have a bunch of really good young players, but there’s some guys like Quay Walker they’ve not paid.

“They have money to spend and they are really good.
“I would expect that the Packers would be among the teams interested.
“They need one final piece and this guy is an absolute dawg.
“He’s worth all the money so pay him all the money.”
