Micah Parsons‘ father, Terrence, had 3 teams in mind where his son should go if the Cowboys decide to trade him. Pittsburgh Steelers, Chiefs, and Lions! But the DE chose the Green Bay Packers. Had the Cowboys owner and GM, Jerry Jones, not played his super slow contract extension game, he wouldn’t have to do that. But during the week 4 game, things got clear about the DE and his family’s allegiance.

Speaking to Clarence Hill Jr during the matchup, the DE’s father said, “It’s not really that hard. Like I said on my post, it’s like a full circle. He started out with the Harrisburg Packers now he is with the Green Bay Packers. And then going against them, it’s the right thing to do, how everything played out. I was a Cowboys fan since 78. Now I’m a born-again cheesehead. Go pack go.” Going against the team you have supported lifelong is not a simple task. But if it’s for your son, it just might be easy.

Well, Jerry Jones did not sign the player, forcing him to move out. And since then, he has changed the Packers’ defense. In 3 games (2 starters), he has already recorded 1.5 sacks with 5 tackles (3 solo). The Packers also sit with a solid 2-1 win-loss record.

Even his mother, Sherese Parsons, echoed the same sentiment that Jerry Jones played them. She even revealed how Jerry Jones praised the defensive player during the preseason game. But when asked if she thought he lied about signing up, she did not call it a betrayal. Instead, she had a much calmer, nuanced approach as she said, “I ain’t going to say he lied, but hey, I guess it’s just business, and, I guess he just did whatever he felt he had to do.”

Overall, his family is happy with his decision. And despite being a lifelong fan, his father doesn’t mind supporting the new team. Parsons has also used his money to help them throughout his life. He bought her a house after signing his rookie deal. Now, after signing the biggest NFL non-quarterback deal of a 4-year $188 million, he asked her to retire. Sherese recently celebrated 25 years of work at the United Concordia Dental.

However, the Cowboys owner isn’t happy after losing the best defensive player he had for 4 seasons. And he is looking for ways to get back at him.

Jerry Jones rejects Micah Parsons’ wish

While the Cowboys did make Jerry Jones happy by not losing the game as it ended with a 40-40 tie. But even then, there was a row in the AT&T Stadium full of Parsons supporters and family members. Before signing up with the Packers, he bought a field-level suite before the season. That wasn’t anything strange.

However, when he signed up with the Packers and tried to get a refund, the Cowboys denied it. Parsons found the rule that there was no refund for cancellation. Many analysts criticized the Cowboys’ owner for denying such a logical request, considering that Parsons is not a member of the Cowboys anymore. They are the wealthiest sports franchise, but denying such a small refund shows the sentiment about the franchise.

Fans are already on Jerry Jones’ tail for allowing such a talented player to go to their rivals. But we know that the owner-GM is an enigma. And he always stands by his choices. Even before the Sunday game, Jerry Jones defended his decision to trade Parsons and said, “One player for five or six players. Now you’ll say, ‘You gotta get those players.’ Well, we were able to bring one of them with us when we made the trade.”

Now, the Cowboys are 3rd in the NFC East. And they need to win the Super Bowl, which they haven’t won in 3 decades. Otherwise, there’s a real risk of losing chunks of fanbase, like Micah Parsons’ family.
