The Dallas Cowboys may have a long history of high-profile drama, but Adam Schefter’s latest comments on UnSportsmanLike show on ESPN could mark a turning point. According to the veteran insider, star linebacker Micah Parsons and owner Jerry Jones are on a collision course that ends in a breakup.
Schefter didn’t mince words. Asked about the future of Parsons in Dallas, he responded bluntly: “Could a deal happen? Yes. But there’s zero indication it will. At some point – maybe now, after the season, or in two years – it feels like the two sides are headed towards a divorce.”
Micah Parsons appears frustrated at Cowboys training camp
This isn’t the first sign of tension. A few weeks ago, 105.3 The Fan reported that Parsons and Jones met for nearly four hours at team headquarters. Hopeful fans thought that kind of marathon conversation meant progress. Instead, nothing materialized. And Schefter’s remarks raise doubts about whether the meeting was ever as productive as it sounded.
Adding fuel to the fire, Schefter also noted earlier this week that there’s no reason to expect a resolution before the September 4 season opener. That’s a sobering reminder for Cowboys Nation:this standoff isn’t cooling down anytime soon.
Dak and CeeDee had it easier
Dallas has been here before, at least on the surface. Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb both went through contract limbo in recent offseasons, but their negotiations never reached this level of toxicity. Prescott even floated the possibility of suiting up elsewhere, yet no one was calling it a “divorce.” The language now being used around Parsons underscores how fractured this situation has become.
At the heart of the dispute lies a broken understanding. Jerry Jones has insisted he and Parsons had a verbal deal to finalize an extension before the new league year in March. But once Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta, entered the picture – which is, of course, standard – negotiations unraveled.
Schefter reports that the two sides haven’t engaged in serious talks since late March. For a player of Parsons’ caliber – a two-time All-Pro and arguably the league’s most disruptive defender – that silence speaks volumes.
A superstar without security
From Parsons’ side, the frustration is as much about respect as it is about money. Around the league, edge rushers are landing massive contracts – Nick Bosa’s five-year, $170 million extension with San Francisco in 2023 reset the market. Parsons knows his value. The Cowboys know it too. But rather than securing their cornerstone, they’ve let brinkmanship stall the process.
The timing couldn’t be worse. With the season opener looming against Cleveland, the Cowboys’ defense is stuck in limbo. Parsons has already hinted he’d be open to playing elsewhere, and history suggests these public fractures don’t just vanish. Unless Jerry Jones dramatically shifts gears, the Cowboys could soon face the unthinkable: life without the player who has been the heartbeat of their defense since 2021.
Since entering the league, Parsons has piled up 40.5 sacks in three seasons per Pro Football Reference. He’s the kind of generational player teams build around, not let drift away. For a fan base already skeptical of Jerry Jones’ leadership, this saga feels like confirmation of their worst fears. And if Adam Schefter is right, the Cowboys’ biggest challenge isn’t on the field – it’s inside their own front office.

Kim ends five-year winless run on LPGA Tour with big home win
Sei Young Kim ended a five-year winless run on the LPGA Tour with a four-shot victory at the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea. The former major champion took a four-shot lead into the final day at Pine Beach Golf Links, with Kim retaining control - on home soil - by mixing six birdies with a lone bogey during a final-round 67. Kim recovered from an early bogey at the par-three third to register four birdies in a five-hole stretch from the fifth, seeing her turn in 33, then extended her advantage with back-to-back gains from the 14th. Image: Kim carded rounds of 62, 66, 69 and 67 to complete victory A three-par finish kept Kim on 24 under and comfortably ahead of closest challenger Nasa Hataoka, who matched her five-under 67, while A Lim Kim ended six strokes back […]
Benn: ‘One shot away from Eubank KO – I just got greedy’

Eubank prevailed with a unanimous decision victory, but Benn was left thinking he should have won the fight."I know I was hurting him because he looked vulnerable in there.

Slavia už nepaběrkuje, po čtvrtině dokonce vede první ligu
Druhý nejlepší útok, ale zejména suverénně nejkvalitnější defenziva. Slávisté za třináct duelů inkasovali pouze 19 gólů. „Týmu se daří a všechny čtyři lajny šlapou. Máme dobrý pohyb a skvělého gólmana, Jarda Pavelka nám vychytal spoustu zápasů,“ chválil útočník Matěj Beran.A když Pavelka v našlapaném programu dostal pro střetnutí s Táborem volno, využili Pražané výpomoc z Mladé Boleslavi. Čisté konto udržel fenomenální Vojtěch Mokry, a tak červenobílí vedou první ligu se třiceti body o dva body před Litoměřicemi. „Moc si toho vážíme. Ale nedělal bych z toho závěry. Je za námi teprve první čtvrtina. Sezona se rozhoduje až v březnu a dubnu, ne v říjnu,“ uvědomoval si Beran.Foto: Veronika Mašátová/HC Slavia PrahaBrankář Vojtěch Mokry z Mladé Boleslavi vypomohl prvoligové Slavii.Slavia spadla z extraligy již před dlouhými deseti roky.
