Multiple Dallas Cowboys stars have turned on notorious team owner Jerry Jones after he has fumbled the contract situation of star man Micah Parsons, leading to the defender requesting a trade.
CeeDee Lamb posted a message to X about the situation, while Trevon Diggs, DeMarvion Overshown, and Juanyeh Thomas all switched social-media profile pictures to images of Parsons.
The messy situation puts the team in a bind, as Parsons looks for a raise, appearing to want to become one of the NFL’s highest-paid defensive stars after the contract Myles Garrett signed with the Browns earlier this year.
‘Never fails dawg. Just pay the man, what you owe em. No need for the extra curricular,’ Lamb said on social media.
Last offseason, Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott both had to wait until near the end of training camp to receive their huge pay bumps. Parsons was expected to do the same.
On Friday, Parsons posted a long statement to social media with his thoughts on the situation – ‘I no longer want to play for the Dallas Cowboys,’ he wrote in part. ‘My trade request has been submitted to (CEO) Stephen Jones personally.’

The switch on Jones comes as star defender Micah Parsons has requested a trade from Dallas
Parsons has now pushed his demands further than any Cowboys player has under Jones’ ownership, putting the 82-year-old in a bind.
Parsons also wrote of ‘repeated sH๏τs at myself’ in his statement, decreasing the likelihood cooler heads eventually prevail.
The defensive end joins fellow NFC East star Terry McLaurin as requesting a trade while waiting for a huge contract in recent days.
McLaurin’s situation is nowhere as messy as the wide receiver has not disparaged anyone within his own organization.
Parsons is set to make $21.3million this season as part of an extension on his rookie contract, nearly half of what Garrett will take home.
Parsons had 52.5 sacks in his first four seasons, trailing only Reggie White (70), Derrick Thomas (58), JJ Watt (57) and DeMarcus Ware (53.5), on the all-time list.
The defender only had a dozen sacks last season due to sitting out four games with an ankle injury.
