Stephen A. Smith “Disgusted” With Jerry Jones After Micah Parsons’ Trade Request originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Tensions around the Dallas Cowboys exploded into the national spotlight after linebacker Micah Parsons reportedly requested a trade.

While the two-time first-team All-Pro has been extension-eligible since the end of the 2023 regular season, the Cowboys have strung along talks, pushing Parsons to request a trade on Aug. 1.

He has said all contract negotiations must go through his agent, David Mulugheta, to which Jones has disagreed. Parsons said in early June that he was "hopeful" a contact extension would be finalized during camp and later, teammates Lamb and Prescott mentioned negotiations are part of the game and take time.
