Micah Parsons trade request: Cowboys fans chant ‘We want Micah’ at practice
Micah Parsons made a stunning move on Friday, requesting a trade from the Dallas Cowboys. His frustration over the lack of progress on a contract extension has clearly reached a boiling point. And it seems Parsons isn’t the only one upset, as Cowboys fans appear to be growing tired of how the team is handling business. 
During practice on Saturday, with fans watching from the stands in Oxnard, a “We want Micah” chant broke out toward the end of the session. Jon Machota from The Athletic shared footage of the moment.
While Parsons remains at Cowboys training camp to avoid fines, he’s not practicing with the team. Instead, he’s wearing street clothes, a move many expected after he requested the trade.
Late contract extensions during training camp have become somewhat of a norm for Dallas. Last season, Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb saw their deals finalized at the last minute, and even further back, negotiations with players like Zack Martin and Tony Romo reached similar late-stage drama. However, none of those situations escalated to the point of a trade request, making Parsons’ situation a first for the Cowboys—even though Jerry Jones doesn’t seem overly concerned.
All eyes are now on September 4, when Dallas faces Philadelphia in the season opener. It’s a highly anticipated game, as the Eagles will be raising a Super Bowl banner after adding another Lombardi Trophy. The big question is whether Parsons will be available to play, as this could mark a turning point if game checks start getting withheld.
Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer shared his thoughts, saying, “Micah is a competitor. I hope to see Micah out there soon. When the business gets worked out, it gets worked out.”
Meanwhile, fans are making sure their voices are heard. Parsons, a fan favorite since being drafted in the first round four years ago, is a key player in their hopes of a new deal to keep him with the team long-term.
