Micah Parsons Trade Request Stalls Amid Cowboys Contract Dispute

Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys continues to be embroiled in a contract dispute and trade request, with no negotiations having occurred since a perceived agreement fell through. Despite similarities to recent holdouts by Trey Hendrickson and Terry McLaurin, Parsons' situation is described as more severe and has been referred to as Jerry Jones’ 'Waterloo.' Parsons has not practiced due to a tight back and remains uncertain to play in the Cowboys' season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. There are rumors of a trade offer from the Green Bay Packers involving a record-setting $45 million per year contract, though this has not been confirmed by key NFL insiders. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Raiders are dealing with veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers' trade request; however, the Raiders are reluctant to trade him and have only received one trade inquiry contingent on salary sharing, which they rejected. Meyers is expected to remain a key offensive player for the Raiders despite the ongoing dispute.
