Regardless of the request, the Cowboys do not plan on moving Parsons, multiple team sources told the Star-Telegram prior to his statement. Even if an agreement on an extension does not come, Dallas has all of the control around Parsons' future and is prepared to use the franchise tag to keep him around in 2026 and 2027 if it's needed.

The Cowboys' Micah Parsons, one of the NFL's best players, has requested a trade out of Dallas, he announced on social media Friday.

“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.
