Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones refuses to trade star defensive end Micah Parsons despite the player’s public request for a trade. Jones says the team’s negotiations were never formal and that he believes Parsons is being “negotiation talk.” The two sides had a breakdown in talks over a potential contract extension, with Parsons seeking nearly $200 million guaranteed. Parsons remains at training camp due to a back injury but has not spoken to reporters. Fans have rallied around Parsons on social media, with quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb showing their support. Jones says the current tension will be resolved in a satisfactory manner for all involved.
