Dallas Cowboys fans heckle Jerry Jones over Micah Parsons drama at training camp as tempers boil over

Angry Dallas Cowboys fans heckled Jerry Jones over the weekend as they responded to the owner’s standoff with Micah Parsons.

The pᴀss rusher, 26, has been seeking a contract extension to improve on the terms of his current deal – but publicly requested a trade on Friday as the situation boiled over.

And fans at the team’s training camp the following day voiced their displeasure with that latest development as they chanted Parsons’ name.

Attendees at the practice in Oxnard, California – which Jones was present at – could at one point could be heard loudly chanting ‘We want Micah!’

Other fans brought signs to camp urging Jones to pay the four-time Pro Bowler, with one supporter even bringing a sign which read ‘sell the team!’

Parsons was present at the practice and took part in the beginning part of workouts, ESPN reported, but was not wearing his No. 11 jersey and was absent from the defense during certain drills.

Jones downplayed Parsons’ trade request after practice and urged fans not to ‘lose any sleep’ over the situation.

‘I think the world of Micah,’ he said. ‘And that [request] is just a part of negotiation.’

Jones added to reporters that the pair had agreed to a deal in March, but that Parsons had later taken the offer off of the table.

Parsons, for his part, said that prior conversation began with the pair talking about ‘leadership’ before contract talks were brought up, and that he did not walk away from the conversation believing an official agreement had been struck.

‘Yes, I engaged in a back and forth in regards to what I wanted from my contract, but at no point did I believe this was supposed to be a formal negotiation and I informed Mr. Jones afterward my agent would reach out thinking this would get things done,’ he wrote in a statement shared on X.

Parsons, who spark to Jones during the winter without his agent, David Mulugheta, says the team has not called his representation once about a deal.

‘I no longer want to be held to close door negotiations without my agent present,’ he wrote. ‘I no longer want sH๏τs taken at me for getting injured while laying it on the line for the organization, our fans and my teammates. I no longer want narratives created and spread to the media about me.’

Jones admitted he has not involved Mulugheta in the talks and explained why.

‘My experience has been the agent is not the one that solves the problems you have when you’re executing what you said you would do in the contract,’ Jones said. ‘So I like to deal directly with the player when it’s of this nature.’

Parsons, who is fifth in the NFL in sacks since debut year in 2021, will make $24million this season after the fifth-year option on his rookie contract got picked up.

However, he’s seeking a raise for his next deal after several fellow top rushers were paid handsomely this offseason.

T.J. Watt’s new three-year, $123million extension will see him paid an average of $41million per season in Pittsburgh, while Myles Garrett is not far behind after signing a four-year, $160million deal with Cleveland.

Maxx Crosby’s fresh three-year, $106.5million extension will also pay him an average of $35.5million per season.

It’s not exactly clear what Jones offered Parsons, but he spoke about  ‘guaranteeing somebody almost $200million’ over the weekend.

‘What y’all don’t know is what I offered him, and it’s a helluva lot more than you think I did,’ he said.
