Micah Parsons has officially requested a trade from the Dallas Cowboys, citing a “deteriorated relationship” with the team. The request follows a report from Diana R. of The Athletic, which stated Parsons was considering drastic actions due to issues with team management. In a public statement, Parsons expressed a desire to remain a Cowboy for the fans but confirmed his decision to no longer play for the team.
❓ Why is Micah Parsons requesting a trade? – Grievances with Team Management
In a public statement, Micah Parsons detailed several grievances that led to his request.
- He claims the team held closed-door negotiations without his agent present.

- He also alleges that the team has created and disseminated media narratives about him.The statement clarified that no contract demands were made by his agent prior to this decision.
📝 What is the timeline of contract negotiations? – A Breakdown of Communication Breakdown
Parsons attempted to secure a long-term contract extension, even indicating he was willing to leave money on the table for it.
- His agent first reached out to the Cowboys after his third year to begin negotiations, but the team declined.
- After the 2024 season, Parsons again expressed openness to negotiate.
- A meeting with Mr. Jones in March was recounted, where the contract was discussed, though Parsons did not consider it a formal negotiation.
- His agent later contacted Adam, the Director of Salary Cap, and Steven Jones, who claimed a deal was “almost done,” a claim that was disputed.
- The team reportedly “went silent,” leading to Parsons’ final decision to no longer play for the Cowboys.
📈 What is the team’s stance on the situation? – Maximum Leverage and a Call for Communication
Diana R. previously reported that the Cowboys had no intention of trading Parsons. The current situation is viewed as Parsons exerting “maximum leverage” to force a resolution. This context is considered absurd given Parsons’ consistent performance as one of only two players with a dozen or more sacks in their first four NFL seasons. While there is still time for negotiations, the lack of communication from the team is a primary issue.
