Overview

  • Parsons formally asked for a trade on Aug. 1, saying he no longer wants to play for Dallas after owner Jerry Jones tried to negotiate a nine-figure extension without his agent.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports there have been zero contract discussions since Parsons made his trade demand, leaving extension talks at a standstill.
  • Though he has traveled with the team and appeared on the sideline for preseason games, Parsons has not practiced due to reported back tightness amid the standoff.
  • Executive vice president Stephen Jones has reiterated the Cowboys have no intention of trading Parsons and will honor his fifth-year option contract for 2025.
  • Analysts such as Kristopher Knox project that Parsons could command multiple first-round picks if Dallas ultimately decides to explore trade options.
