From Micah Parsons to Maxx Crosby: Why it makes sense for the Cowboys to swap elite edge rushers originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here. The Dallas Cowboys are taking over the trade deadline headlines.

Every Sunday, Micah Parsons is making the Dallas Cowboys regret their decision to trade him to the Green Bay Packers.

In the end, why did Jones trade Parsons? Because he didn't view him to be as "indispensable" as three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Dak Prescott, whom he re-signed to a four-year, $240 million extension in 2024. Prescott's contract has the highest average per year salary ($60 million) in the NFL .

Here's what Micah Parsons said about the Dallas Cowboys electing not to play a video tribute to their former star linebacker this weekend.

Speaking with the Athletic, Parsons recalls the moment, and he still has the No. 12 jersey framed. He calls it a ‘moment of great respect’ between one of his favorite quarterbacks to ever play the game of football. "“He was like, ‘I want to trade jerseys with you,’” Parsons said. “And I’m like, ‘The GOAT, Rodgers, wants to trade jerseys with me?’”

The discontent is well-documented between Jerry Jones and agent David Mulugheta, who represents former Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons, but a contract extension for wide receiver George Pickens is independent of previous, unsuccessful negotiations with other players.

Micah Parsons said he respected how the Packers treated Kenny Clark in the trade, a contrast to how Cowboys owner Jerry Jones acted.

Against the Cardinals, Parsons played on 54 defensive snaps. Altogether, he came away with five tackles as well as three sacks, a career best. Additionally, Parsons was able to finish with four tackles for a loss and five quarterback hits. As a result, Parsons was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week.
