Micah Parsons trade rumors: Jerry Jones makes revealing statement on future of Cowboys star

Micah Parsons is not going anywhere, according to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. The franchise icon revealed Tuesday that the star pass rusher was not a part of any trade discussions.

“Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on 105.3 The Fan said there is no truth to any story about the Cowboys being interested in trading Micah Parsons,” Jon Machota wrote on Twitter. “Jones said words on that topic have ‘never been uttered in this organization.’”

It was a bold statement, considering where the Cowboys are as an organization at the moment. Dallas is 6-8 following a win over the Carolina Panthers, but won’t make the playoffs and previously lost QB Dak Prescott to a season-ending injury.

Safe to say, there are a lot of questions regarding Parsons, who could command quite the trade return, and head coach Mike McCarthy after failing to get over the hump once again.

Parsons wears his emotions on his sleeve, make no mistake about it. At one point, Dallas was 4-7 on the season and there were cries from fans to tank the season.

Doing so would give Dallas a higher draft pick and Parsons didn’t want to even utter the word tank.

“I’m not done yet. I don’t plan on tanking,” Parsons said after the game, via The Athletic. “If the higher-ups are looking for a draft pick, I hope that’s ruined, because we got a lot of football left to play. As long as I’m a part of this team, we’re always going to fight.”

Notice how he said, “as long as I’m a part of this team?” Parsons had to address trade rumors himself this weekend.

“I understand how the business side goes,” Parsons said. “There are no hard feelings in this business, whether I’m here or anywhere else. Obviously I’ve stated that I wanted to be here. But at the end of the day, I understand the business side.

“I’ve put in a lot of work, I’ve played hard too, so obviously if sides can’t agree to those type of things, it happens like that. But I’m just happy to be here. I’m just gonna keep playing hard while I’m here. If I’m here for the next 5-6 years, I’m gonna keep playing hard then too. Ain’t nothing really gonna make a difference, Micah is gonna play hard.”

The Cowboys are back in action Sunday night at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
