The owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, sat in front of the media members on Thursday heading to the impressive Micah Parsons trade to the Green Bay Packers.
The main question in everyone’s mind: Why the exchange?
“This gives us the opportunity to be a better team than the one we have had in recent years,” Jones said with his son, CEO and director of Personnel of Stephen Jones players, sitting on his right.

“We thought it was the best for our organization, not only in the future, but also at this time this season.”
It is difficult for cowboys fans to understand the agreement to benefit the total team victories in 2025 and the future, but Jones offered some details on the contrary, beginning with the acquisition of the De Bowl Defensive Tackle of Bowl Kenny Clark as part of the agreement.
“We have won a Pro Bowl player in an area where we had great concerns, inside our defense,” Jones said.
“The facts are that we need to stop the race. We have not been able to stop the race for several years.”
The owner of the Cowboys blames the Micah Parsons agent for the negotiations of stagnant contracts: “We told ourselves that we stick it to …”
Jones added that the possibility of an exchange for Parsons occurred during spring, although he said he offered an agreement in April. He previously declared that he offered Parsons the highest contract for a non -quarter in the history of the NFL, and doubled on Thursday night that offered him more guaranteed money than the $ 136 million reported he obtained in his four years and $ 188 million of the extension of the Packers that he received after being marketed.
“I will say this: it was important that we had, if we could obtain it, the interest rate we obtained to make an exchange for Micah,” Jones said. “He was an asset from which we obtained four good years. But when you are talking about making the contract he obtained and for the future, that is a great commitment. None of that tells what he did the first four years. He goes against what he can do for you in the future.”
The cowboys also received the first round selections of 2026 and 2027 of the Packers, which Jones said he would not rule out the exchange of another established player.

“We not only have a player immediately, but those Draft teams could get us, I’m talking about the best PRO Bowl players, I could [get us]. I will not necessarily say that you will get those players, you must write them or acquire them, “Jones explained.” But they could get us as few as three, or up to five outstanding players. Now, they not only contribute to a game that needs many players in the field, but also give you better chances that a high percentage of them are available. “
Jones said it was a consensus decision, both in the main office and in the coaching staff, make the exchange with the Packers. He added that he was still in the air on Thursday morning, since Clark went to the practice of Packers as he used to do it. Things culminated quickly and things settled in stone when the news came out.
Jones was also asked about a NFL network report that declared that Parsons returned to the cowboys for “empathy” when the commercial interest leaked earlier this week. Parsons says the team told him to “play in the fifth year or leave.”
“He was not out of order or anything like that,” Jones replied when asked about that report. “I think I have read where they said that I replied: ‘We are playing under the contract as it exists at this time. Prepare to play Philadelphia.’ Correct, that was correct.”
With the finished trade, the cowboys are looking towards their future, while they believe they can win at this time, starting with week 1 against the Eagles Philadelphia.

“I want to make sure that our fans understand that I think that a lot of Micah, and I wish him much success,” said Jones. “I don’t want it to succeed when he plays the cowboys, since I want me to have general success. Micah Parsons did an exceptional job for us for four years.
“There is no doubt that I could have signed it in April. We all know that, to have agreements, all parties have to agree. This was by design. I made Micah an offer. It was not acceptable and honored the fact that it was not done in the way he wanted to do it through an agent. Then, he was an offer …
