Overview

• Parsons has requested a trade and has withheld on‑field work, attending camp without practicing or playing in the preseason.
• Brian Schottenheimer said an MRI on Parsons’ back was “pretty clean,” and team voices suggest he could be available for Week 1.
• Jerry Jones says a near‑record extension framework was reached to make Parsons the highest‑paid non‑QB, a portrayal disputed by the player’s agent’s side.
• Reporting notes Dallas is rebuffing trade inquiries and holds leverage through the fifth‑year option and potential franchise tags as outside teams gauge interest.
• ProFootballTalk estimates a four‑game unpaid suspension would cost roughly $5.33 million if the club escalates to discipline, even as Dak Prescott expresses confidence a deal gets done.
