Another messy split could be on the horizon in Dallas.<\/p>\n
With no movement made on a long-term union between the Cowboys and Micah Parsons<\/a>, ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter forecasts the once fruitful pairing is \u201cheaded towards divorce\u201d after the relationship deteriorated throughout the offseason.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t get a deal done if you\u2019re not even talking, and the two sides haven\u2019t had any negotiations since late March or early April, and it sounds like at this point it\u2019s personal,\u201d the NFL insider said<\/a> on Tuesday\u2019s installment of his self-titled podcast.<\/p>\n Micah Parsons, seeking a new contract, publicly requested a trade from the Cowboys. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect<\/p>\n Parsons, the Cowboys\u2019 12th overall pick in 2021, has been seeking a new deal as he enters the final year of his rookie contract.<\/p>\n Team owner Jerry Jones took a curious approach<\/a> to the matter last month as the Cowboys opened training camp, taking a shot at the star defensive end<\/a>, who tallied 12 sacks last season.<\/p>\n Parsons, 26, publicly asked for a trade in return<\/a>, detailing in his social media request how a March conversation with Jones, 82, pivoted to contract talks, \u201cbut at no point did I believe this was supposed to be a formal negotiation.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s been speculated Micah Parsons and the Cowboys, owned by Jerry Jones, could be headed toward divorce. Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images<\/p>\n Adam Schefter recently opened up about the state of the Cowboys and Micah Parsons. X<\/p>\n Schefter said he believes the bad blood has gone beyond the normal negotiations and posturing that play out publicly every NFL offseason between star players and teams. <\/p>\n \u201cThe Cowboys have come out and said what they said publicly at the start of training camp, which Micah didn\u2019t like. Micah came out and asked to be traded, said he was ready to move on from Dallas, which I\u2019m sure they didn\u2019t like, and right now, both sides seem to be angry,\u201d he said on Tuesday\u2019s episode. <\/p>\n \u201cNow, have other people put those feelings aside in the past and figured out a way to work out a deal? Yeah. I don\u2019t see that happening here. I see these two sides headed towards divorce in time. The only question is, when is that divorce going to happen, and how is it going to happen? Are they going to trade him now? Are they going to trade him after this year? Are they going to move on? When?\u201d<\/p>\n Micah Parsons (11) spoke with Jerry Jones at the Cowboys\u2019 training facility in June 2025. AP<\/p>\n Micah Parsons has played for the Cowboys since 2021.
