Jerry Jones says he won't trade Micah Parsons amid stalled contract talks: 'Any talk of trading is BS'

If Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons is hoping his contract drama results in him playing for a new team, he's going to have to wait three years before that becomes a reality. Jerry Jones said he has no desire to trade Parsons amid stalled contract talks, saying, "Any talk of trading is BS."

Jones made those comments during an appearance on the Stephen A. Smith Show on Friday. Jones discussed a wide range of topics during the appearance, including his health and the franchise's Super Bowl drought.

Eventually, the conversation turned to Parsons. Jones — who has been on a whirlwind media tour over the last 24 hours or so — mostly shared the same talking points in his interview with Smith. Jones implied that he had a deal with Parsons and then grew frustrated when Parsons attempted to get his agent involved.

Smith then asked how Jones felt when he heard Parsons asked to be traded. After a lengthy aside, Jones eventually stated that he wasn't going to trade Parsons, saying, "Any talk of trading is BS. There's nothing to it."

Jones also implied Parsons would need to sit out for three seasons if he wanted a change of scenery. While Parsons is only under contract for one more year with the Cowboys, the team can place the franchise tag on him two more times. Jones said he would do that during an interview with former Cowboys standout Michael Irvin on Thursday.

Jones said he didn't think Parsons would be willing to miss that much time to get his wish. "I can't imagine anybody sitting out for three years, at all," Jones told Smith.
