"We will work through it or we will not work through it,” Jones said Tuesday after the Cowboys and Rams held a joint practice.

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has not spoken to Micah Parsons since the star defensive end publicly requested a trade on Friday.

But there's a real direction here where this turns into a nightmare for the Cowboys, and Jones is currently standing in the way of that crash as if the car won't hit him. Parsons might be expensive, but letting him get away would be even costlier. This story isn't over, but right now, Jones is playing a dangerous, dangerous game.
