Overview
- In a new interview, Parsons said he was sad his relationship with Jerry Jones "went to s--t" and wished the owner had let his agent handle negotiations.
- Parsons added he has no bad blood toward Jones and said he would shake his hand and thank him for the opportunity in Dallas.
- He recounted that Jones believed they had a handshake agreement on term, amount, and guarantees, but Parsons directed the team to work through agent David Mulugheta after their March 18 meeting, which was their last conversation.
- Dallas traded Parsons to the Packers on Aug. 28, 2025, and Jones has since maintained the Cowboys won the deal, a narrative Parsons says only he and Jones can fully assess.
- Green Bay signed Parsons to a four-year, $186 million extension that made him the NFL's highest-paid defensive player, and he logged 12.5 sacks in 14 games before a torn ACL ended his first season there.
