Cowboys fans taunt Jerry Jones with Micah Parsons chants as contract drama festers
NY Post
Cowboys fans made their Micah Parsons demands quite clear to team owner Jerry Jones on Saturday.
One day after the All-Pro defensive end publicly requested a trade amid an ugly standoff over a contract extension, Cowboys faithful rolled up to training camp in Oxnard, Calif., with pro-Parsons signs as they broke out a “we want Micah” chant from the stands, as captured by The Athletic.
Tensions between Parsons, 26, and the Cowboys boiled over Friday when the four-time Pro Bowler stated he “no longer” wants to be in Dallas, where his NFL career officially began in 2021.
“I did everything I could to show that I wanted to be a Cowboy and wear the star on my helmet. I wanted to play in front of the best fans in sports and make this Americas team once again,” the former first-round pick wrote. “… Unfortunately I no longer want to be here.”
Parsons, who has one year left on his rookie deal, recalled a March conversation he had with Jones, 82, about leadership, but “somehow turned into him talking contract with me.”
“Yes I engaged in a back and forth in regards to what I wanted from my contract, but at no point did I believe this was supposed to be a formal negotation and I informed Mr. Jones afterward my agent would reach out thinking this would get things done. But when my agent reached out and spoke to [ESPN’s] Adam [Schefter] he was told the deal was pretty much done. My agent of course told him that wasn’t the case and also reached to [Cowboys executive VP] Stephen Jones. Again the team decided to go radio silent,” Parsons penned.
