Micah Parsons made his feelings about Jerry Jones known following the Packers' 40-40 tie with the Cowboys on Sunday night.
What did Micah Parsons say about Jerry Jones? Packers star blasts Cowboys owner after Week 4 tie originally appeared on The Sporting News
Micah Parsons waited four quarters to leave his mark on AT&T Stadium during the Green Bay Packers' Week 4 duel with the Dallas Cowboys. But when he shined, he shined bright, making a timely interruption as the Cowboys attempted to find a go-ahead touchdown. Dallas and Green Bay would end up tying the game, 40-40. Parsons was a major reason why.
After the game, he was similarly notable, albeit for different reasons. Parsons and the Cowboys shared plenty of good moments with one another across four seasons together. But when the two parties divorced, it proved toxic, with both Parsons and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones ripping into one another for their perceived misdeeds in the final months of their partnership.
Time has done little to heal such wounds. In fact, Parsons spent much of his postgame presser laying into Jones, who he said "could tell him as a man" that he was being traded.

What did Micah Parsons say about Jerry Jones?
Parsons cut a frustrated figure while sat atop the lectern on Sunday night. He praised Jordan Love and the Packers' offense's efforts. But he expressed dismay over the ease by which Dallas was able to collect yardage.
"I'm pissed off," Parsons said. "I'm very disappointed overall how we performed. ... That's why it's so pivotal that you play complimentary football. Because today, Jordan [Love] played like the player he was and we let him down. We didn't live up to the expectations on defense."
When it came to Jones, Parsons -- who recorded three total tackles (one solo), three QB hits and one sack -- was more fiery. He told reporters that his fondness of Dallas' organization vanished when it decided to send him elsewhere. He then appeared to call Jones and the rest of the front office out, suggesting they handled his trade in a callous manner.
"When [Packers general manager Brian Gutenkurst] that he was trading for me, he said 'Let me call Kenny [Clark] before it breaks,'" Parsons said. "I didn't even get to talk to my owner, the person that drafted me. I found out through my agent.

"The same way that he called me in his office as a man, he couldn't tell me as a man. So to me, that emotion side is gone, it was more about a respect factor at this point."

Parsons' exit from Dallas was certainly contentious. He has repeatedly claimed that Jones and his son, Cowboys CEO Stephen Jones, have yet to reach out to him since the trade. Jones was similarly frosty in his postgame presser, claiming that he didn't view Parsons as "indispensable" unlike Dak Prescott.
The bad blood made Sunday's matchup all the more enticing. And although Parsons was held fairly quiet amid a barrage of double teams, he might've gotten the last laugh in overtime.
With the Cowboys offense humming inside Green Bay's 20, Prescott tucked and run. He appeared destined to prance into the end zone until he was cut down by a familiar figure — Parsons, who recorded his first and only sack of the night.

Parsons' intervention was critical. Dallas settled for a field goal on the drive, facilitating Brandon McManus' equalizer a few minutes later.
"I’m here on this podium because I’m supposed to make that play," Parsons said. "I’m supposed to help our defense, that’s the reason that I was brought here. Making plays is what I'm supposed to do, taking over games is what I'm supposed to do. I don't think I should be rewarded for that play."
Parsons spoke loud with his performance in crunch time on Sunday night. But his words following the contest shined a light on his frustrations with his former employers — feelings that don't appear to have subsided a month after his trade.
