Jerry Jones Nixes Parsons Tribute, Faces Backlash Over 'Special Player' Trade Talk

Jones' willingness to consider flipping the Packers picks for a 'really special' addition drew sharp criticism.

Overview

  • Micah Parsons is set for his first game back in Dallas on Sunday night when the 2-1 Packers visit the 1-2 Cowboys, with reports indicating he is fully cleared after a recent back issue.
  • Jerry Jones said Dallas will not run a pregame tribute for Parsons at AT&T Stadium, calling such recognition not appropriate.
  • The Cowboys owner said he would consider packaging the first-round picks acquired in the Parsons trade to pursue a 'really special' player, a stance widely criticized for its irony.
  • Dallas’ pass rush has struggled since the trade, including zero sacks in a 31-14 loss to the Bears, and the team says it fully expects new signing Jadeveon Clowney to play in Week 4.
  • Dallas dealt Parsons to Green Bay in August for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and 2026 and 2027 first-rounders; the Packers extended Parsons and he has already logged sacks in his new role.
