Jerry Jones explains why he never called Micah Parsons after Cowboys-Packers trade

Micah Parsons’ return to Dallas as a member of the Green Bay Packers left neither his team nor the Dallas Cowboys satisfied after their 40-40 tie on "Sunday Night Football."
Though the Cowboys won’t be seeing Parsons again for the remainder of the regular season, owner Jerry Jones continued to talk about Parsons during his weekly media appearance.
After the tie game, Parsons called out Jones to say Jones never reached out after the blockbuster trade with the Packers for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. Parsons went as far as saying Jones "couldn’t tell me as a man."
Jones responded to Parsons’ comment, saying he never called because Parsons instructed him to take his number out of his phone.
"I really don’t want to respond to that at all," Jones initially told 105.3 The Fan, "but that phone call thing got stopped when he told me to take his number off my dial, so don’t call him anymore. So, I quit those calls."
The high-scoring bout between the teams didn’t lead to any bragging rights, but Jones believes it showed trading Parsons was the right move, saying he feels "real good about our trade."
"Now, that’s a real good test," he said. "I’m glad everybody got to see it, where it goes. And it left me feeling real good about our trade."
Parsons collected one sack on quarterback Dak Prescott while finishing with three total tackles in the tie. It wasn’t the best statistical night for him, though he was able to tally three quarterback hits on Prescott, who he admitted would be "painful" to hit considering their long friendship.
