Chiefs’ Chris Jones drops bold take on Cowboys, Micah Parsons contract issue originally appeared on The Sporting News

The national storyline sweeping the NFL is Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys' contract standoff. On Monday, another premier defender in the Kansas City Chiefs, Chris Jones, was asked about the situation.

Even though Parsons requested a trade out of Dallas, Jones spoke with Kay Adams on the latest episode, "Up & Adams," and shared his thoughts on the situation, seeing it from both the business and player side of the standoff. 

"It's frustration on both sides," Jones told Adams. "It's probably frustrating for Jerry with everything that's going on and then the contracts he's recently given out as an owner." 

"When you're looking at it from a business standpoint, it's like, I give all these guys contracts, and it doesn't go as well as he wanted it to go. Then you look at it from a player standpoint who goes out there day in and day out and puts their life on the line and do the best they can for an organization. I'm quite sure they'll get it worked out."

Even though Parsons requested a trade, the Chiefs' star doesn't think it will happen because he loves the city, and the fans love him back.

"I don't see Micah playing anywhere else other than Dallas," Jones added. "I think Dallas loves Micah. I think Micah loves Dallas, and I think Jerry Jones will get it worked out. The same thing happened with Dak, you know what I mean? The back and forth, and they eventually got it worked out, which he became the highest-paid quarterback, right?"

Time is running out for the Cowboys and Parsons, with only two more preseason games before they play Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles to open up the 2025 NFL season. Somehow, they will have to find a way to work things out or Dallas could be in trouble.
