After a few weeks in Oxnard, the Dallas Cowboys are back in Frisco. Tuesday night was one open to fans and beforehand, Jerry Jones decided to address the crowds. Up on a podium, Jones was thanking people for coming to watch practice and their general support of the team.

Toward the end of a video captured by Jon Machota of The Athletic, somebody blurts out “We want Micah.” Loud enough to hear throughout The Star, Jones did not skip a beat. He continued on with his speech, about to bring up something related to Troy Aikman, before the clip was cut off.

Of course, the fan is expressing a frustration you have to imagine a ton are feeling regarding the Micah Parsons situation. To this point, no contract extension has been agreed upon and things only appear to be getting worse.

Parsons most recently requested a trade from the Cowboys, looking to play elsewhere beginning this season. Jones and everyone inside the front office has stated they will not be looking to move on from the pass rusher. Quite the stalemate they are in, especially since reports have indicated there are no ongoing negotiations.

Cowboys fans are as passionate as any out there, not afraid to express their opinions. Even when Jones is right in front of them, addressing a crowd before practice.

Adam Schefter gives latest update on future of Micah Parsons

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Dallas Cowboys and Micah Parsons are likely headed for a divorce “at some time.” Parsons and the Cowboys are currently in a standoff over his contract.

He hasn’t participated in training camp and there have been plenty of trade rumors if Dallas doesn’t meet Parsons’ demands, or vice versa. But as of now, Schefter said Parsons’ time in Dallas could be done after this season or the next.

“Today I feel comfortable saying I don’t think he’ll finish his career in Dallas. Today, I feel comfortable saying that, now I reserve the right to change my mind all of a sudden, the Cowboys definitely negotiate,” Schefter said on Unsportsmanlike. “But the way things have gotten this off season, the way people are talking, the way things sound, yeah, I would think that there is a real possibility that, if he plays this season, that this potentially could be the last year for Micah in Dallas, yes.”
