Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones claims that Pro Bowl edge rusher Micah Parsons reneged on a "handshake" agreement they made in March about a contract extension. His repeated insistence that he thought he had a deal contradicts his statements at the NFL annual meeting held March 30 to April 2.

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.
