The relationship between the Dallas Cowboys and Micah Parsons has deteriorated to a dire state amid their contract negotiation feud, according to a report. 

The Cowboys’ top defensive star, 26, has been locked in a tense standoff with the franchise throughout the offseason as they continue to fail to reach an agreement over a new contract extension. 

With no deal yet in sight heading into the second week of training camp, the pᴀss rusher is reportedly considering resorting to ‘drastic measures,’ according to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.

Parsons, who is in the final year of his rookie contract, reportedly could be considering a trade request or even a declaration that he is severing his relationship with the team. 

The two sides are said to currently not be negotiating after talks broke down earlier in the offseason. 

Parsons reportedly negotiated directly with Dallas owner Jerry Jones in Spring, with the franchise believing it had reached a verbal agreement with the player.

However, Parsons’ agent is then said to have intervened, pushing back on the terms hashed out between his client and the team. He attempted to negotiate further but the Cowboys shut him down, demanding that the pᴀss rusher honor their verbal agreement. 

Jones bizarrely took a sH๏τ at Parsons last week when questioned about the defensive star at training camp. 

‘Just because we sign him doesn’t mean we’re gonna have him. He was hurt six games last year,’ Jones said before then pivoting to take a jab at his quarterback, Dak Prescott: ‘I remember signing a player at the highest paid for his position in the league and he got knocked out for two-thirds of the year.’

Jones was blasted on social media for his bizarre slights at his own players. One of those critics was future Hall-of-Famer JJ Watt.

‘Anytime you can publicly take a dig at your star quarterback and your star pᴀss rusher simultaneously, right before the season begins, you just gotta take it…,’ Watt said, sarcastically.

He added, ‘Nothing makes guys want to fight for you more than hearing how upset you are that they got hurt while fighting for you.’

Adding insult to injury, an NFL player saw that post and retweeted it: none other than Parsons himself.

Parsons is entering the fifth and final year of his rookie contract – having finished the previous season starting 13 of 17 games (meaning he only missed four games, not six like Jones said). He totaled 12.0 sacks, 43 combined tackles, and 12 tackles for a loss.

His current deal will see him earn $24million this season before becoming an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year if he doesn’t agree to a deal with the Cowboys.

Parsons has been present at the Cowboys’ practice sessions but has not participated in on-field work. 

He has not publicly spoken since July 22 when he told reporters: ‘I want to be here. At the end of the day, they sign the checks. Let’s see if they want me to be here.

‘I’ve been pretty consistent. If they don’t want me here, I’ll go about my business. I understand the nature of the business. As long as I’m here and under contract, I’m going to do what I have to do to perform at the highest level. But if this is the end, then this is the end.’
