Micah Parsons ignited his long-standing contract stalemate with the Dallas Cowboys by requesting a trade, citing his frustrations with the lack of urgency in getting a deal done despite his efforts to remain cordial throughout the negotiation.

Jones has reasons to not worry too much. Parsons can request a trade all he wants but that doesn't force the Cowboys into dealing him. Parsons has a year left on his rookie deal and Jones referenced in his interview with USA Today the two franchise tags the team used on DeMarcus Lawrence and Dak Prescott before signing them to long-term deals.

FOX Sports' Nick Wright criticized Jerry Jones' 'unethical' approach to handling the ongoing contract dispute with Micah Parsons.
