On Friday, Dallas Cowboys All-Pro defender Micah Parsons officially requested a trade after months of contract talks led nowhere.
Parsons has been open in his desire for a new contract for months, and elected to attend training camp instead of holding out with hopes of getting a deal done. However, the start of camp led to some contentious public comments from both sides about how much Parsons is worth. A few hours before Parsons released his statement, a report emerged detailing how everything completely fell apart and stated the Cowboys are not negotiating with Parsons's agent. That same report suggested Parsons was close to taking "drastic" action to get what he feels he deserves.
