Overview

• Parsons remains on his fifth-year option after a public trade request as Dallas reiterates it is not entertaining offers.
• Schottenheimer and Dak Prescott voiced confidence Parsons could play the Sept. 4 opener, with the coach outlining a ramp‑up plan rather than a full workload.
• Parsons has not practiced regularly during a training-camp hold-in, citing back tightness, and an MRI was described by the coach as pretty clean.
• League interest persists, with reports of multiple inquiries and speculative Green Bay chatter, though a viral $45 million Packers rumor drew mockery from Parsons’ brother.
• If the dispute escalates, reporting notes Dallas could fine or suspend Parsons, with estimates pegging a four-game unpaid suspension at roughly $5.33 million.
