As the trade deadline approached last week, there was some speculation surrounding the possibility of the Dallas Cowboys trading Micah Parsons. However, this speculation was unfounded, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made it clear that Parsons is an essential part of the team’s future.
“No, absolutely not,” Jones stated on 105.3 The Fan when asked if the team had ever considered trading Parsons.
Parsons, who leads the team in pressures despite having been sidelined since Week 4 against the Giants, is expected to return to action this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Jones emphasized that he wants Parsons to remain with the team for the long haul.
“I wouldn’t because we want Micah Parsons, he’s integral to our future,” Jones explained when asked about the possibility of moving Parsons. “So ‘no’ is the big answer.”
This sentiment is shared by Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones and vice president of player personnel Will McClay, both of whom play key roles in decision-making for the team.
“We haven’t had one conversation, ever, about not having Micah Parsons on the team, ever,” Jones said.
With the trade rumors put to rest, Parsons and the Cowboys are now focused on snapping a three-game losing streak and securing their first home win of the 2024 season. When Parsons is cleared to return to the field, he won’t be limited by any sort of pitch count.
“Once I’m playing, I’m playing, that’s just the competitor in me…” Parsons said. “It’s hard to restrain that.”

The New Orleans Saints’ Seventh Straight Loss Results in Dennis Allen’s Firing
The New Orleans Saints endured their seventh consecutive defeat, falling 22-23 to the Carolina Panthers, which led to the firing of head coach Dennis Allen. After Week 9, the Saints, sitting at the bottom of the NFC South with a 2-7 record, parted ways with Allen, who had been in his third season as head coach.
As reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, Allen was dismissed after leading the team to a losing record of 18-25 and failing to reach the playoffs. Allen had previously served as the defensive coordinator under Sean Payton from 2015 to 2021. Special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi will take over as interim head coach.
The Saints began the season strong with a 2-0 record, including a dominant win over the Dallas Cowboys (44-19), but a seven-game losing streak culminated in their latest defeat to the Panthers.
Mike McCarthy Safe in Dallas Despite Struggles
In contrast, the Dallas Cowboys have yet to make a coaching change, even as they face a three-game losing streak. Despite growing fan dissatisfaction, including calls for a coaching change, team owner Jerry Jones is sticking with head coach Mike McCarthy. The Cowboys, who had high hopes at the start of the season, now find themselves with a 3-5 record, significantly lowering their playoff chances.
The team’s struggles have been compounded by issues with key players such as Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, as well as recent indiscipline from Ezekiel Elliott. Injuries to defensive stars like Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence have further hampered the Cowboys’ performance, leaving the team struggling to find solutions
