Micah Parsons didn't like how Jerry Jones ended his time with the Dallas Cowboys.
Amid a contract dispute, the Cowboys traded Parsons to the Green Bay Packers for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks right before beginning the 2025 season. Jones drew heat for negotiating directly with the edge ruser rather than his agent.
Parsons addressed his fizzled relationship with Jones during an interview with DLLS Sports' Clarence Hill at a Pro Bowl practice.
"I just wish some of those things never happened, you know what I mean?" Parsons said. "I wish that he never brought me into the office and just let the agent speak. And I wish he hadn't compromised our relationship. I thought me and Jerry had a good relationship up to that point until this offseason, and it’s sad that it went to (expletive) like that."

Parsons added that he's a "forgiving person" and isn't holding any grudges against Jones. He also hasn't spoken to the Cowboys owner and general manager since March 18, his son's birthday.
"I have no bad blood," Parsons insisted. "If I saw Jerry today, I would shake hands with him still and say thank you for the opportunity I had to be a Cowboy."
Parsons spent four dominant seasons in Dallas, tallying 52.5 sacks and 112 quarterback hits. He made four straight Pro Bowls with two first-team All-Pro nods, but Jones opted to trade the superstar after failing to reach a contract extension.
The 26-year-old delivered another All-Pro campaign for the Packers, registering 12.5 sacks in 14 games. After the trade, they signed him to a four-year, $186 million deal that made him the NFL's highest-paid defensive player.
"There’s only two people who know the real truth, me and Jerry Jones," Parsons said. "I’m not mad or anything. I went to another historic organization. I got paid a historic amount. So I got really nothing to be mad about in this world."
