Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones looks on prior to the game against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on November 3, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Overview

  • Parsons officially submitted a trade request to executive vice president Stephen Jones on August 1, stating he no longer wants to play for Dallas.
  • He has been present at training camp in Oxnard but has sat out practices with reported back tightness, casting doubt on his availability for the Week 1 opener.
  • Jerry Jones affirmed there is no deadline for talks, noted Parsons remains under contract and confirmed no substantive extension discussions have occurred.
  • The Cowboys hold leverage with Parsons’ $24 million fifth-year option and franchise-tag potential, deterring serious trade offers from front offices.
  • Recent mega-deals for Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb have constrained Dallas’s cap flexibility and set a high market benchmark for defensive extensions, reinforcing the team’s hardline posture.
