Micah Parsons has formally requested to be traded, and he took to social media to vent his issues and frustration along with his contract extension state of affairs.
Nonetheless, crew proprietor Jerry Jones is not able to budge. If something, the controversial enterprise mogul would not sound too apprehensive about that. Speaking to the media, he implied that he had already shaken palms on an extension with Parsons, so he simply has to attend now:

Jones, one of the crucial profitable businessmen of his era, just about acknowledged that he would not change the best way he does enterprise.
“Simply so that you perceive the best way that I talk with folks {that a} I negotiate with. Let’s go away it at that,” Jones continued. “There’s is not any query that within the case of a participant contract, you need to have it in writing. All events do. Now we have a contract in writing, but we’re nonetheless speaking about renegotiating, so a lot for that.”
Parsons has each proper to really feel annoyed. He is probably the greatest pass-rushers within the sport, and he is the youngest within the quick checklist of superstars on the place.
