With one week left until the season opener, Micah Parsons’ situation with the Dallas Cowboys continues to take new turns. The latest came Thursday when ESPN reported the franchise appears willing to listen to trade offers – but Michael Irvin doesn’t think a move will happen.
During an appearance Thursday on NFL Live , Irvin made it clear he does not expect Jerry Jones to trade Parsons despite the rumors swirling. He called it part of the negotiation process as the star linebacker seeks a new contract that would make him the NFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback.
Instead, Irvin said Parsons’ focus should be on getting his bag from the franchise. That’s why the message should be for Jones and Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta , to figure it out before the season starts.
“I guarantee Micah Parsons is not going anywhere.”

“Look, you can report all you want, there’s no way they’re allowing Micah Parsons to go anywhere,” Irvin said. “All of this is part of the negotiations. And as I talked to Jerry the other day on my podcast, we were talking about it the other day when he tried to make that offer and somebody told him to shove it up his rear and all of that. Honestly, it blew my mind. It blew my mind that any kind of conversation like that would be going on in a situation like this.
