• Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said teams try to acquire players of Parsons’ caliber, and reporting links Green Bay as a plausible suitor, though no deal is in place.
• Jerry Jones has repeatedly stressed Parsons is under contract, with Dallas retaining leverage through the fifth‑year option and a possible 2026 franchise tag.
• Parsons sought a second medical opinion on a back issue this week, and an MRI was reported as clean, easing immediate availability concerns.
• ESPN’s Dan Graziano says a resolution could come soon, with outcomes ranging from a new deal to playing on current terms, continued absence, or a trade as Week 1 approaches.
