Micah Parsons requested a trade from the Dallas Cowboys on Friday while suggesting the club has refused to negotiate a new contract for the star edge rusher. Parsons reported to training camp in California with the Cowboys last week and tried to stay upbeat in a meeting with reporters. His tone changed dramatically in a message posted on X.

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.

Dallas Cowboys star receiver CeeDee Lamb came to the defense of Micah Parsons following his trade demand on Friday.
