Parsons posted a note to Cowboys fans on social media.
DALLAS — Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons has officially requested a trade after posting a note to his social media pages Friday afternoon.
“Thank you Dallas,” Parsons simply captioned his message.
Parsons said in his note he wanted to be in Dallas and he did everything he could to show he wanted to be a Cowboys and wear the star on his helmet. The Cowboys were the team he and his father grew up cheering for, Parsons said in his note.
“Unfortunately, I no longer want to be here,” Parsons said. “I no longer want to be held to close door negotiations without my agent present. I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured while laying it on the line for the organization our fans and my teammates.”
Players were at the podium Friday afternoon as the news broke. WFAA’s Mike Leslie is in attendance and will ask for reaction about the announcement.
Parsons’ post came hours after The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported his relationship with the Cowboys had “deteriorated to the point where the star pass rusher is considering drastic measures which could include a trade request or even a declaration that he is severing his relationship with the team.”
Dallas drafted Parsons No. 12 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. He won NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2021 and has been a three-time All-Pro (first team in 2021, 2022; second team in 2023) and four-time Pro Bowler.
