On Friday, Parsons handed in a formal trade request to the organization&rsquo;s management team and took to social media to make public his intentions of leaving Dallas.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Since then, there hasn&rsquo;t been any update on the matter except for the fact that owner Jerry Jones assured the fanbase not to lose any sleep over the situation. While most of the Cowboys&rsquo; fans and many neutrals seem flabbergasted with the lack of effort from Jones to extend Parsons, the Cowboys&rsquo; owner has found an ally in the form of <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nfl\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>NFL <\/a>analyst Colin Cowherd.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you Dallas &#129409;&#128081; &#128591;&#127998;!

He&rsquo;s a good player, but I&rsquo;m not making him the highest paid defensive end. He&rsquo;s not Miles Garrett. He&rsquo;s not Aidan Hutchinson. He&rsquo;s not Maxx Crosby. He&rsquo;s not T.J. Watt. He&rsquo;s not Nick Bosa. I like him a lot, but I&rsquo;m not making him that highly coveted.

After starting my professional career as a French-to-English translator, working as a content writer is a new adventure for me. I started out in the sports media field for two main reasons: my love for sports in general, especially the NFL, NBA, and Tennis, as well as my passion for writing. The best part of this job is that I get to write a variety of pieces with the freedom to explore content from various angles. It also enables me to stay up to date with the sporting world, which otherwise can be difficult to do in the day-to-day grind. In a world full of chaos, sports unite and entertain like nothing else!","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/devakul"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/devavrat\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78758"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78758"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78758\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78770,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78758\/revisions\/78770"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
