Micah Parsons has officially requested a trade from the Dallas Cowboys after grueling negotiations of a contract extension. Chris Broussard, Kevin Wildes, and Eric Mangini ask if this is the right decision by Parsons.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spoke for the first time since superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons requested a trade on Saturday. 

Jones, 82, had a message for fans in wake of Parsons’ trade request. 

"I would say to our fans, don’t lose any sleep over this," Jones said, via the Star-Telegram.

Jones said he thinks the "world of" Parsons and said his trade request is just part of negotiations. 

Parsons announced his trade request on social media on Friday, and in his post, Parsons said he did everything to show he wanted to stay with the Cowboys. 

"Yes I wanted to be here. I did everything I could to show that I wanted to be a Cowboy and wear the star on my helmet. I wanted to play in front of the best fans in sports and make this Americas [sic] team once again. The team my pops and I grew up cheering for way up in Harrisburg, PA. Unfortunately, I no longer want to be here," Parsons wrote in his post.

"I no longer want to 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. I no longer want narratives created and spread to the media about me. I had purposely stayed quiet in hopes of getting something done."
