Jerry Jones spoke to the media on Saturday afternoon about the Micah Parsons contract situation for the first time since the Dallas Cowboys All-Pro demanded a trade. Jones, as expected, downplayed the severity of it all and insisted it was all part of negotiation. In the process he took a shot at Jay-Z that the rapper's agency, Roc Nation Sports, did not appreciate.

At one point during his availability Jones was asked about his reluctance to negotiate through Parsons's agent and complained that when there's a problem the agent is "nowhere to be found." He then specifically called out Jay-Z for failing to take his calls when he had a problem with Dez Bryant after negotiating a new contract for the star wideout back when he was suiting up in Dallas.
