Micah Parsons, the star edge rusher for the Dallas Cowboys, has requested a trade, publicly expressing his frustration with the team's handling of his contract negotiations. Parsons, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract with a $24 million salary, seeks a long-term deal exceeding $40 million annually. He claims the Cowboys have refused to negotiate directly with his agent, and that team representatives implied a deal had been reached without his agent's involvement. Parsons also took issue with comments made by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, including a suggestion that Parsons' availability wasn't guaranteed even if a contract was agreed upon, and an inflated account of Parsons' missed games due to injury. The situation mirrors that of CeeDee Lamb last year, who eventually received a lucrative extension. Parsons' request comes shortly after other star edge rushers received significant contract extensions, fueling his frustration.
