Former Harrisburg, Penn State Star Micah Parsons Requests Trade From Dallas Cowboys over Contract Impasse

DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, AUG 1 – Parsons seeks trade amid stalled talks and salary cap concerns as Cowboys risk losing a key defensive leader with 52 sacks in 63 games, sources say.

  • On Friday, Micah Parsons formally requested a trade from the Dallas Cowboys, personally submitting it to Stephen Jones, according to his statement.
  • As training camp enters its second week, Parsons has been in contract discussions throughout the offseason that remain far apart.
  • Parsons recorded 52 sacks in 63 career games, earning a $24 million fifth-year option in 2025, and logged 12 sacks last season, more than T.J. Watt.
  • Despite widespread interest, Dallas remains firm on keeping Parsons, with The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reporting they have “no intention” to trade him amid a potential bidding war among 31 other NFL teams before the season.
  • As Parsons aims to reset the pass rusher market, cap concerns emerge, as more than $135 million in combined deals for Prescott, Lamb and Parsons would limit roster flexibility.
