Overview

• Jones said he and Parsons agreed on terms in March and claimed agent David Mulugheta told the team to "stick it up our ass," while asserting the offer carried near-record guarantees for a non‑QB.
• Mulugheta denied using the phrase, according to ESPN’s Ryan Clark, and has not publicly engaged beyond declining comment through reporters.
• Multiple outlets citing ESPN report there have been no negotiations since late March or early April and that both sides are entrenched.
• Parsons requested a trade on August 1, continues a camp hold‑in by attending meetings but not practicing, and has scrubbed Cowboys references from his social media.
• Jones has referenced the fifth‑year option and potential franchise tags and said Dallas will not trade Parsons, as head coach Brian Schottenheimer expressed confidence the star will play in Week 1.
