Jerry Jones urges Cowboys fans not to panic after Micah Parsons' trade request: 'Don't lose any sleep over this'

Jerry Jones talked for a while on Saturday, but had one overall message for Dallas Cowboys fans in the wake of Micah Parsons' trade request: Don't panic. The Cowboys owner told reporters he isn't considering granting Parsons' request and insisted that this was still part of the negotiations for the All-Pro pass-rusher's next contract in Dallas. From The Athletic's Jon Machota: 'I wouldn't be standing here with you if I didn't think we potentially had a great future with Micah (Parsons). We're in good shape. This is negotiation. But make no mistake about it, life has to go on if something happens to me or anybody else. Life does go on.' Jones also reportedly said Parsons' contract offer from March is off the table — "Micah took it off" — and that "relationship is what it is ... I like Micah" when asked if the relationship was salvageable.

Meanwhile, some of those Cowboys fans were letting Jones know what they thought about the situation: As Jones often likes to note, he's been in this kind of situation before and usually comes out of with a newly extended player, though sometimes at a price a little higher than expected. In a lengthy statement announcing his trade request, Parsons claimed Jones and the Cowboys have been mostly radio silent in response to multiple attempts by his camp to engage them on contract negotiations. Jones and Parsons met in March to discuss their future, but no deal resulted and the two sides are now reported to be wide apart on terms of a possible deal. Parsons has not held out from Cowboys workouts or training camps, though he has missed drills recently due to a back injury. Jones said "I wish the back would get better" in response to the injury, with tongue possibly in cheek. How expensive will Micah Parsons get for the Cowboys? Parsons' first contract after his rookie deal has loomed for years, with the price only going higher as his peers land progressively larger extension. Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby got a three-year, $106.5 million deal in March, with a $35.5 million average annual value that made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns broke that record days later with a four-year, $160 million deal ($40 million per year). And then Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Watt took the record for himself with a three-year, $123 million extension ($41 million per year). At 26 years old, Parsons is younger than all three of those players and has been one of the best defensive players in the NFL since his first game with the Cowboys. Odds are high he's looking to set his own record, but even if he somehow doesn't, it's not going to be cheap for Jones. Parsons is playing this season on the $24 million fifth-year option of his rookie contract and is technically a pending unrestricted free agent, though it can be assumed the Cowboys will hit him with the franchise tag as many times as needed to keep him in Dallas.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones dismisses Micah Parsons' trade request as negotiation talk

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones does not intend to trade Micah Parsons after the star defensive end said he wants to leave the team amid a breakdown in negotiating a contract extension. 'Surely you guys have been around this stuff and know how to recognize negotiation talk, that type of thing. And so that's where I put that,' Jones said after practice Saturday, one day after Parsons posted on social media to request a trade. No stranger to public and prolonged disputes with standout players, Jones insisted the standoff with Parsons is no different than past situations ranging from alternating approaches by quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb last year to the 1993 in-season holdout by running back Emmitt Smith. 'Well, it's just that you've seen it so often, and you've seen it with other clubs. You go through the process. It's a highly sensitive time when you're guaranteeing somebody almost $200 million, that's sensitive stuff,' Jones said. Parsons remains at training camp, where he has yet to practice because of a back injury. He did not speak to reporters, leaving the field at the same time as Jones was fielding questions for more than 15 minutes. Parsons is going into the final season of his five-year rookie contract and is seeking a new deal that would almost certainly make him the highest-paid defender in NFL history. He could be franchise tagged in 2026 without a contract extension. A first-round draft pick in 2021, Parsons has at least 12 sacks in each of his four seasons with the Cowboys and 52 1/2 for his career. The crux of the disagreement between Parsons and the Cowboys seems to be over the specific nature of talks with Jones during the spring that Parsons did not consider formal negotiations. Jones disagrees, believing they had come together on a deal. 'The key is that we've got an agreement,' Jones said. 'Let's really do understand that we've got an agreement now.' Parsons wrote in his statement that the Cowboys have refused to engage his agent David Mulugheta in the process, which along with remarks by Jones during a July 21 press conference, contributed to his decision to publicly request a trade. Asked if what was discussed in March was still on the table, Jones said, 'Micah took it off. He took it off.' Jones said that he expects Parsons to work off the framework established during the disputed spring talks. 'Now, if we're going to adjust an agreement, then he's a must and I'm a must,' Jones said of Parsons' involvement in future negotiations. Multiple Cowboys players have posted their support for Parsons on social media, with Lamb writing, ' Just pay the man.' Fans shouted their support for Parsons when Jones walked on the field midway through practice, and there was a sustained chant of 'Let's pay Micah!' at the end of Saturday's workout. Jones did not answer directly when asked if he expects Parsons will be on the Cowboys for their season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4. He later expressed his belief that the current hostility with Parsons will be resolved in a satisfactory manner for all involved. 'I enjoy Micah, but as always, in any relationship, there's different moods at different times of your relationship,' Jones said. 'That's what it is. Don't lose any sleep over it. That's the one thing I would say to our fans, don't lose any sleep over it.' ___ AP NFL:
