Throughout the NFL offseason, one of the more captivating storylines is the ongoing saga between Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons:
The two sides are reportedly at an impasse in contract negotiations, and the closer it gets to the start of the season with no new deal for Parsons, the more on edge Cowboys fans will likely become.
Parsons, who’s logged 52.5 sacks during his first four seasons in the NFL, formally requested a trade back on Aug. 1, but Jones has since stated he has no plans on trading the 26-year-old four-time Pro Bowl defensive end.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported earlier this week that despite the public back-and-forth between the two sides, they are further apart on a deal now than they were right after the season ended.
“You can’t get a deal done, if you’re not even talking,” Schefter said on his “Adam Schefter Podcast.” “The two sides haven’t had any negotiations since late March or early April. It sounds like at this point it’s personal.
“Now, have other people put those feelings aside in the past and figured out a way to work out a deal? Yeah. I don’t see that happening here. I see these two sides headed towards divorce in time. The only question is, when is that divorce going to happen, and how is it going to happen?”
Jones made an appearance on “Fox & Friends” on Thursday morning, and he was asked point-blank how close he was to getting a deal done with Parsons, to which Jones carefully evaded giving any sort of an answer.
“Micah is a great player — not a good player, but a great player,” Jones said. “He knows more than anyone that it’s a team thing, and so, I know everybody is tired of hearing this, but you’ve got to put this puzzle together so that you can have some other people out there playing with Micah.
“That’s the art of the deal, and that’s why we’re trying to get done. We’re trying to make this thing work, and we have all the appreciation in the world for what he can mean to the years ahead. We’re proud to have him.”
Here is a look at Parsons’ career stats:
