“I think Micah is doing great,” Cowboys co-owner Stephen Jones said. “It means a lot to him to be here with his teammates, hats off to him for that. We want him practicing soon. We rather have him out here practicing doing what he does best which is wreck a practice but hats off to him.” Parsons said contract talks are up to Jerry Jones.

Things began to fall apart when Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta, reached out to negotiate some more, and the Cowboys refused to talk further and called on the star linebacker to honor the deal they thought was in place, per The Athletic’s report.
