**Micah Parsons Requests Trade from Dallas Cowboys: Jerry Jones Responds**
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones addressed fans for the first time following superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons’ trade request. In a statement, Jones reassured supporters, saying, “I would say to our fans, don’t lose any sleep over this.” He expressed his high regard for Parsons, suggesting that the trade request is a typical part of contract negotiations.
Parsons made his trade request public via social media on Friday, emphasizing his desire to remain with the Cowboys. “Yes, I wanted to be here. I did everything I could to show that I wanted to be a Cowboy and wear the star on my helmet,” he wrote. He expressed disappointment over the lack of communication regarding his contract extension, stating, “I no longer want to be held to close-door negotiations without my agent present.”
The talented linebacker, who was selected 12th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, has been a standout player, making the Pro Bowl in all four seasons of his career. In 63 games, Parsons has recorded 52.5 sacks, 172 solo tackles, and nine forced fumbles, including 12 sacks in just 13 games last season.
Despite Jones’ reassurances, the uncertainty surrounding Parsons’ future with the team has left fans concerned. As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how the Cowboys will respond to Parsons’ trade request and whether negotiations will resume.
