As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for their final two preseason games, Micah Parsons’ contract dispute continues to loom large. When asked whether talks will resume when the franchise returns to Texas, Jerry Jones casted doubt.

Parsons has not practiced since going public with his trade request earlier this month. The star linebacker is searching for a new contract, which would likely make him the NFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback, but no deal has come to fruition.

It’s become a public dispute between the two sides. As for whether talks will ramp back up after the Cowboys get back to town, Jones said he wasn’t sure. However, he noted Dallas will have a game – and Parsons is under contract.
