The Dallas Cowboys have made no progress in resolving Micah Parsons’ contract negotiations, leaving the four-time Pro Bowler’s future with the team unclear more than two weeks after his trade request. Despite ongoing discussions, the stalemate continues as Parsons remains unsigned and unsettled.
On Wednesday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones responded nonchalantly when asked about the stalled talks. He insisted that nothing was stopping him from meeting with Parsons and his representatives to finalize a deal, maintaining a tone of openness despite the lack of concrete movement.
“Really, nothing,” Jones says in a video shared by The Athletic’s Jon Machota. “Again, nothing would be that and we might or might not talk and the rest of that gets into what we do every day.”
Fans Call for Boycott of Jerry Jones Over Micah Parsons Dispute
Jerry Jones faced significant backlash from Cowboys fans unhappy with his handling of Parsons’ contract situation. Social media erupted with calls for a boycott of the team’s owner, sharply criticizing his management style and public statements. Supporters expressed frustration with repeated questions directed at Jones and the ongoing impasse.
“You guys should just stop feeding into his BS stop asking the questions and watch it get done,” one fan commented.
“Can we please stop talking to this person…” another fan said.
“In a perfect world, the media would ignore Jerry. Treat him as he doesn’t exist. Him and Stephen. Don’t ask them questions. Don’t attend their press conferences. That would be ideal,” this fan wrote.
“It’s a shame that Cowboys are subjected to this idiot’s management of the team- 30 years of futility with NO END in sight,” another fan stated.
“Jerry Jones needs to f**k himself out of this organization PERIOD!” one fan commented.

NFL Insider Highlights Growing Distance Between Parsons and Cowboys in Talks
During a recent interview on the Pat McAfee Show, NFL insider Adam Schefter provided a concerning update on Parsons’ contract status. Schefter explained that the gap between the player and the Cowboys has widened since early discussions months ago, with no agreement appearing imminent.
“I think Jerry feels like they had the makings of a deal, if not an agreement in place,” Schefter said. “And again, Micah feels like he never saw a contract, never agreed to anything. His agent never signed off on anything.
“And so there are a whole lot of issues there. And again, you mentioned Micah’s draft class. If you look it up, look at all the players around him and in front of him that have already been paid … And Micah has not been. And so he’s watching his draft class all get paid.
“Not only is he not getting paid, his own team is not even talking to him. And he feels insulted by what they’ve said about him in the summer. So again, this is a situation that’s gone in the opposite direction. And they’re further apart from a deal today than they were in, let’s just say, March or early April.”
Uncertain Path Forward as Cowboys Weigh Options for Parsons’ Contract
The stalemate leaves the Dallas Cowboys at a crossroads regarding Micah Parsons’ contract. With the 2025 season approaching, the team must decide whether to reach a new agreement or proceed with the fifth-year option on Parsons’ rookie deal.
