Jerry Jones heckled by Cowboys fans over Micah Parsons drama
Cowboys fans didn’t hide their frustrations about Micah Parsons not getting an extension yet when Jerry Jones spoke at training camp Saturday.
As Jones addressed the crowd, there were chants of “pay Micah” and other murmurs mixed in as the Dallas owner vowed improvements after a disappointing 7-10 campaign in 2024, according to a video posted by The Athletic.

“I was shocked last year when we ended up with the record that we had,” Jones said. “I never saw that coming. … I want you to watch what we’ve done in the areas that we needed to work on. Look at what we’ve done in this offensive line. Look at what we’ve done, if you will, with our receiver core. Look at what we’re doing with our defense.
“Lot of changes out here. Lot of coaching changes. Lot of player changes.”
But fans, in the moment at least, weren’t concerned about any of that.
They’re concerned about Parsons — one of the NFL’s top defensive players — playing 2025 on his fifth-year option and then bolting in free agency next offseason.
In June, Parsons said that the deal will cost the Cowboys more because of the delay in executing it, and last week, he told reporters that he wished Dallas had the “same type of energy” that teams around the league had dedicated toward extending their defensive stars.
“If they don’t want me here, they don’t want me here,” Parsons said. “I’ll go about my business. I understand the nature of the business. Like I said, as long as I’m here and under contract, I’m gonna do what I have to do to perform at the highest level. But if this is the end, this is the end.”
Parsons, who isn’t holding out but also hasn’t practiced fully due to back tightness, has collected 52.5 sacks across the first four years of his Cowboys career and quickly became the anchor of their unit after getting selected No. 12 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft.
He said he doesn’t take it personally, but rather, “I just don’t understand.”
Cowboys fans standing up for their star marked just the latest wrinkle in the saga, with Jones bizarrely claiming to reporters last week that “just because we sign him doesn’t mean we’re gonna have him” — claiming that Parsons missed six games in 2024 when he only, in fact, missed four.
“Contracts are four, five years, OK? There’s a lot of water under the bridge if you step out there and do something in the first two or three,” Jones told reporters, according to CBS Sports. “You can get hit by a car, seriously. So there’s a lot to look at over a lot of years that could make a big difference. Have you ever heard of any clubs committing to players and then they didn’t pan out after they committed to them? We have.”
Still, that didn’t stop the Cowboys from dishing out another long-term deal Sunday, as they signed tight end Jake Ferguson to a four-year, $52 million extension, according to multiple reports.
