Terry McLaurin isn’t the only player in the NFC seeking a new contract and requesting a trade. The Dallas Cowboys have been trying to work out a deal with their star linebacker, but Jerry Jones keeps Jerry Jonesing the negotiations. He thought he had a deal with Parsons after talking to him personally, until his agent got involved. Parsons has had enough, and issued a statement today requesting a trade from the Cowboys.
Among the key issues: Parsons said he spoke directly with Cowboys owner Jerry
ADJones in March. The team believed those conversations were negotiations and that it had a deal, multiple league sources said. But Parsons believed the talks were just conversations, writing that he told the Cowboys that his agent would reach out, “thinking this would get things done.” When Parsons’ agent attempted to start negotiations, Parsons wrote, the Cowboys declined to engage with him and told the pass rusher that they believed they already had a deal.
“My agent of course told him that wasn’t the case and also reached out to Stephen Jones,” Parsons wrote, referring to the top team executive who is also the oldest son of Jerry Jones. “Again the team decided to go silent.”
Now, the team is refusing to engage with his agent at all, Parsons wrote, creating a tense standoff amid increasing friction.
“Up to today the team has not had a single conversation with my agent about a contract,” Parsons wrote.
