Parsons explained in a social media post that he no longer wants to play for Dallas, as the club has yet to contact his agent after Parsons and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones discussed a new deal in March.
“I have made a tough decision I no longer want to play for the Dallas Cowboys,” he wrote.
Parsons added that he had an informal conversation with Jones about leadership, and that it took a turn when Jones brought up his contract.
He recalled telling Jones what he wanted, and then left the meeting telling Jones that his agent would be in touch.
“But when my agent reached out and spoke to (ESPN’s) Adam (Schefter) he was told the deal was pretty much already done,” Parsons wrote. “My agent of course told him that wasn’t the case and also reached out to Stephen Jones. Again the team decided to go silent. At that point, we decided we would allow the team to reach out to us whenever they decided they wanted to talk. Yet still not a call email or text to my agent about starting negotiation. Up to today the team has not had a single conversation with my agent about a contract. Not one demand has been made by my agent about money years or anything else.”
Parsons appeared in 13 games last season and finished with 12 sacks and 12 tackles for loss. He also made the Pro Bowl for the fourth year in a row.
The 26-year-old has reported to training camp but has not participated in on-field work.
Parsons is one of the league’s best pass rushers and would immediately help any team’s Super Bowl chances, should Dallas actually move him.
