The Micah Parsons trade last week between the Cowboys and Packers was monumental, the sort of transaction that will be closely analyzed for years to come no matter who emerges the winner. What led to the trade— the breakdown of the relationship between Parsons and Dallas— remains a subject of much interest. On Tuesday, ESPN published a thorough report on how the trade came to be and revealed Parsons made one final effort to stay with the Cowboys that was flatly denied by Jerry Jones and the organization.
Per the report, Parsons's agent David Mulugheta reached out to Jones and the front office two days before the trade to Green Bay happened. He reportedly offered to do "whatever it took" to get a deal done and keep Parsons down south.
