In the aftermath of Micah Parsons’ trade to the Green Bay Packers, NFL Network’s Jane Slater reported Jerry Jones issued the star linebacker an ultimatum. He reportedly told Parsons to play his fifth year with the Dallas Cowboys “or leave.”

After a week filled with rumors, Jones and the Cowboys officially sent Parsons to the Packers on Thursday. In exchange, Dallas received two first-round picks and defensive tackle  Kenny Clark .

Speaking with reporters Thursday night, Jones confirmed there was a conversation about getting ready to play the Philadelphia Eagles. However, he didn’t get into any more specifics.

“We had some dialogue,” Jones said. “I’m not going to get into specifics because I don’t think that characterizes it. But it was not anywhere out of the [ordinary] or anything like that.

“Basically, I think I’ve read where they said that I replied, ‘We’re playing under the contract as it exists right now. Get ready to play Philadelphia.’ Correct. That was correct.”
