Overview

  • Parsons’s formal trade request stands as he remains at Oxnard training camp but skips all practices, citing back soreness.
  • Jones has stopped communicating with both Parsons and agent David Mulugheta, asserting that no further written negotiations are needed.
  • Coaches report that Parsons has stayed mentally engaged on the sidelines, mentoring younger players and offering strategic insights without causing disruptions.
  • Sources say at least five to six NFL teams have expressed serious interest in trading for Parsons, but Dallas has shown no willingness to field offers.
  • Despite holding $32.2 million in cap space, Jones says he is “absolutely not” confident Parsons will be ready for the Week 1 opener, highlighting the dispute’s potential to affect the season start.
