Overview

• ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported there have been zero negotiations since late March or early April and said there is no reason to expect a deal before the season.
• Micah Parsons has not practiced or played in Dallas’ first two preseason games, raising uncertainty about his availability for the Sept. 4 opener in Philadelphia.
• Owner Jerry Jones has downplayed the situation and said nothing prevents further dialogue, while reporting indicates the Cowboys are not engaging other teams on a trade.
• NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said he expects the Packers to be among the teams really interested if Dallas makes Parsons available, with other proposed destinations remaining speculative.
• Parsons is in the final season of his rookie deal on the fifth-year option and is pursuing a market-leading pass-rusher contract comparable to recent deals for T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett.
