Despite a public trade request from Micah Parsons, the Cowboys remain in control, and Jerry Jones holds the keys to the future of the team's defensive centerpiece.
The NFL world is buzzing, but inside Dallas, we know exactly what this is, pressure.
On Friday, Micah Parsons posted a message saying he wants to be traded from the Dallas Cowboys, citing frustration with contract negotiations and how the team has handled things behind closed doors.
«I no longer want to be here,» Parsons wrote
.He called out the team for not involving his agent in meetings and blaming him for injuries. It was an emotional and pointed message, no question.
But if you know Jerry Jones, you know this isn't going to be handled in a panic.
Betting markets react, but the Cowboys aren't flinching as pressure builds
Following Parsons' post, Bovada released odds on where he might land if traded. Here's how the list looks:
• Raiders: +500 • Browns: +600 • Jets: +600 • Cardinals: +700 • Titans: +750 • Bills: +800 • Patriots: +800 • Steelers: +900 • Chargers: +1000 • Ravens: +1100 • Packers: +1200 • Chiefs: +1200
The Buffalo Bills are showing up on the list at +800, but let's be real, a trade like this would be nuclear.
Parsons is entering the final stretch of his rookie deal, and yes, contract talks have hit a wall. But this team knows what he means to the franchise, and Jerry Jones has never been shy about paying stars when the time is right.
He may take his time, he may play hardball, but he's not going to let the heart of the defense walk away just because things got loud online.
Personally, I believe this gets resolved, and when it does, Parsons will still be wearing the star.
