Overview

  • Jerry Jones told fans not to lose sleep over the dispute, quipping that Parsons’s bad back “is like being traded” and framing the standoff as routine.
  • Roc Nation Sports labeled Jones’s claim that Jay-Z ignored his calls a “false” and “comical” statement.
  • CeeDee Lamb and fans at Oxnard training camp publicly urged Dallas to extend Parsons rather than let him go.
