FRISCO, Texas – As the trade deadline approached last week, there was some speculation as to whether or not the Dallas Cowboys would move Micah Parsons. That speculation was baseless, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants Parsons to be in the fold for the long run.
"No, absolutely not." Jones said on 105.3 The Fan when asked if the team had considered trading Parsons.
Parsons, who leads the team in pressures despite not having played since Week 4 against the Giants, is on track to return Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's clear that Jones wants him to suit up for many more games with the star on his helmet in the future too.
"I wouldn't because we want Micah Parsons, he's integral to our future," Jones said when asked if he would ever think about moving Parsons. "So 'no' is the big answer."
And the feeling is mutual amongst Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones and vice president of player personnel Will McClay, who help Jones make those kinds of decisions.
"We haven't had one conversation, ever, about not having Micah Parsons on the team, ever." Jones said.
So with that out of the way, it's back to business as usual for Parsons and the Cowboys, who head into Sunday looking to snap a three-game losing streak and find their first win at home in the 2024 season. When and if Parsons retakes the field with his teammates, he'll be full go and won't need any sort of pitch count.
"Once I'm playing, I'm playing, that's just the competitor in me…" Parsons said. "It's hard to restrain that."
