Cowboys Owner\u00a0Jerry Jones was in no way fazed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Parsons\u00a0voiced his frustration in a lengthy social media post,\u00a0stating:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cUnfortunately, I no longer want to be here,\u201d while citing \u201crepeated shots\u201d from the organization and contract talks held \u201cbehind closed doors without my agent present,\u201d he added, according to ESPN<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He also accused the team of spreading false narratives and criticizing him for injuries he suffered while giving everything for his teammates, the fans, and the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the tension, Parsons showed up to Cowboys training camp on Saturday, though he wasn&#8217;t wearing his usual No. 11 jersey. For the first time this camp, he didn&#8217;t participate with the defense and instead spent time with offensive position groups like quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers. During team drills, he was seen sitting under the tower where Jones typically watches practice.<\/p>\n<p>Jones spoke to reporters that day and addressed whether Parsons&#8217;\u00a0trade request surprised him.<br \/>\n\u201cNot really. Not really at all. This is just negotiation,\u201d he said. He also downplayed the back tightness that has kept Parsons off the field, calling it \u201cthe usual stuff\u201d that comes with decades of managing contract situations.<\/p>\n<p>The owner stated that he and Parsons reached a verbal agreement in March, but the player later backed out. Jones hinted that the offer was extremely generous\u2014without disclosing details\u2014but implied it included nearly $200 million in guaranteed money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat&#8217;s what you don&#8217;t know. \u2026 But my point is I reached,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n<p>Although the Cowboys have not resumed talks with Parsons&#8217; agent, David Mulugheta,\u00a0Jones emphasized that any change to the contract must be mutually agreed upon.\u00a0He also pointed to his long track record negotiating with star players, reminding reporters that he and Parsons had already reviewed the details during that March meeting.<\/p>\n<p>With no extension, Parsons is set to play the 2024 season on his fifth-year option, worth $21.3 million. If no deal is reached, the Cowboys could apply the franchise tag from 2026 through 2028, though the 2028 figure would match the average salary of the NFL&#8217;s top five quarterbacks. Still, Jones isn&#8217;t worried.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon&#8217;t lose any sleep over it,\u201d he told fans on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Micah Parsons requests trade as Jerry Jones downplays situation amid contract talks and rising tension in Cowboys camp.
