Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has broken his silence on the rapidly increasing trade rumors involving superstar linebacker Micah Parsons.
Unlike quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, Jones was unable to secure a contract extension with Micah Parsons. With Dallas facing a cap crunch in the offseason, some wonder if Jones may do the unthinkable and deal his franchise star.
Parsons stands to make $100 million-plus on his next deal, after all.
But during his appearance on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas, Jones made it clear that the Cowboys have no intention of trading Micah Parsons, who has one year remaining on his rookie contract:
“That’s never been uttered in this organization that we don’t have a future with Micah Parsons,” Joned said.
So there you have it, Cowboys fans. You can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that Jones will do everything he can to keep the All-Pro linebacker around long-term. It’s something positive to keep in mind amid a disappointing season in Big D.
The 25-year-old Parsons has been one of the few positives in a miserable year for Dallas, recording 8.5 sacks, one forced fumble and eight tackles for a loss. Without Parsons, there’s no telling how much worse Dallas’ underperforming defense would be.
