Overview

  • ESPN reports several teams have contacted Dallas and, for the first time, the Cowboys are willing to at least listen on Parsons, with no deal imminent.
  • Parsons formally requested a trade on Aug. 1 after an extension push unraveled when Jerry Jones tried to negotiate without his agent, and Dallas has not made new offers since.
  • Green Bay is the most cited suitor, with Packers GM Brian Gutekunst saying teams try to acquire players of Parsons’ caliber, though no agreement exists.
  • Parsons’ MRI was reported clean and the team considers him cleared for practice as he sought a second opinion on his back, and ESPN notes Dallas could consider non-participation despite clearance as conduct detrimental.
  • Parsons filed a grievance over his fifth‑year option position designation, with the league setting him at defensive end for $21.324 million versus $24.007 million at linebacker, as insiders describe internal debate in Dallas and outline outcomes ranging from a new deal to a trade.
