Overview

• Parsons formally submitted a trade request on August 1 and has remained at Cowboys training camp without engaging in on-field practices.
• Contract extension negotiations stalled when owner Jerry Jones declined to negotiate through Parsons’ agent, prompting the linebacker’s grievance.
• Chief Operating Officer Stephen Jones reiterated that Dallas has no intention of trading Parsons, and Jerry Jones described the controversy as “good stuff” for keeping attention on the franchise.
• ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports there is “no deal in sight,” noting the Cowboys could use the franchise tag or revisit trade discussions if Parsons continues to sit out.
• Analysts project Parsons would command a record-setting deal or attract multi–first-round pick offers, with teams like the Bills, Buccaneers and Chargers frequently mentioned as potential destinations.
