The Micah Parsons<\/a><\/strong> trade request saga took an interesting turn Saturday when head coach \u222b addressed local media members. When asked if Parsons would attend practice, the head coach gave an intriguing answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would hope so,\u201d Scottenheimer said<\/a>. So basically, there\u2019s no guarantee the star pass rusher will be in attendance. Considering Parsons no longer wants to be a Cowboy, based on his statement, it wouldn\u2019t be shocking to see him sit out.<\/p>\n

Schottenheimer also said he didn\u2019t feel like he was caught in the middle of the Parsons and Cowboys\u2019 management. Being able to see both sides of the situation, the first-year head coach remained pretty neutral on the subject.<\/a><\/p>\n

Parsons, 26, is entering the final year of his rookie deal. The two-time All-Pro pass rusher revealed that he initially approached the Cowboys about a contract extension after the 2023 season. Dallas \u201cdid not want to start any negotiations at that point.\u201d Fast forward to this past March, Parsons met with Jerry and Stephen Jones to talk about leadership. Parsons said the conversation shifted into a discussion about his contract. He informed Jones that his agent, David Mulugheta, would reach out.<\/p>\n

When Mulugheta reached out, he was told the deal was \u201cpretty much already done\u201d \u2014 this wasn\u2019t the case. From there, the Cowboys \u201cwent silent,\u201d according to Parsons.<\/p>\n

\u201cUp to today, the team has not had a single conversation with my agent about a contract,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cNot one demand has been made by my agent about money, years or anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

As far as if Parsons\u2019 situation could change as far as a contract is concerned or if he actually gets traded, it\u2019s currently a waiting game. He\u2019s a special talent that Dallas wouldn\u2019t necessarily want to get rid of.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a lot of high profile players around the league request trades recently only to stay with their teams or get a deal done,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler said.<\/a> \u201cWhile this could be the case here in Dallas, the situation is different because Parsons is only on a second contract. He\u2019s in his mid 20s. He really has no blemishes as far as who you would give mega money to. He\u2019s not really injured very often. He\u2019s got massive production. He\u2019s on a Reggie White like trajectory as a pass rusher, and so because of that, there would be immense value on the trade market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTeams would be willing to give up a lot. You know, I checked one team that said, like, it would be a first round pick, and a lot more. It might even be two first round picks, just because you\u2019d be getting such a unique player. A lot of times, teams don\u2019t want to make these kinds of trades now, because you have to turn around and pay a guy, you know, 35, $40 million. This one would be different. Teams would be quite comfortable doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Micah Parsons trade request saga took an interesting turn Saturday when head coach \u222b addressed local media…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":113724,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,1596,71618,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-113723","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-micah-parsons-18-harrisburg","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113723\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
