Micah Parsons Won’t Get Video Tribute Before Cowboys vs. Packers, Jerry Jones Says

Star defensive end Micah Parsons was one of the Dallas Cowboys’ best players for four seasons, but he didn’t do quite enough to earn a tribute video.

Per Clarence Hill Jr. of DLLS, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team will not have a video tribute for Parsons when he returns to AT&T Stadium this week with the Green Bay Packers.

“It’s not appropriate”, Jones said.

The Cowboys traded Parsons to the Packers last month in return for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. The trade came after months of back and forth over Parsons’ contract, and he had previously requested a trade from the team.

Upon arrival in Green Bay, Parsons inked a four-year, $188 million contract with $136 million in guarantees.

Parsons, the 12th overall pick in 2021, spent the first four years of his career with the Cowboys, recording 52.5 sacks and establishing himself as one of the best defensive players in the NFL. Despite his somewhat short tenure in Dallas, he’s seventh on the team’s all-time sacks list.

He was the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year, earned four Pro Bowl nods and a pair of All-Pro selections while in Dallas.

Despite Parsons’ individual success, the Cowboys didn’t find much overall success during his time there. They reached the playoffs in all but one season, but they made it out of the wild card round just one time.

Perhaps Jones didn’t see enough of a reason to honor Parsons, or he’s unhappy with the way things ended. Regardless, Parsons will look to use the slight as motivation heading into the game.

Parsons, whose Packers are 2-1 after a fluke loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, has recorded five tackles and 1.5 sacks so far this season.
