Jones, who held out ahead of the Chiefs’ 2023 season, probably knows better than most what the Cowboys’ present situation is like.

The Dallas Cowboys are less than a month away from their season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, and yet, they haven't sorted out their contract drama with Micah Parsons. On Aug. 1, Parsons publicly requested a trade from the Cowboys.

The Cowboys open the season in 22 days with a Thursday night game in Philadelphia. Because Parsons is in the fifth year of his rookie contract, Jones expects the star pass rusher to be on the field. “You don’t have deadlines when you’re playing under a contract,” Jones said.
