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

Micah Parsons hasn't yet held out from the Dallas Cowboys, but Jerry Jones indicated that could be coming when the season begins.

However, they were still without their best defensive player, All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons. That's because Parsons and team owner/general manager Jerry Jones are in a negotiating stalemate. Jones attempted to downplay Parsons' on-field absence after practice Tuesday and said he feels the two sides are built to overcome their issues even after Parsons requested a trade on Friday.
