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.

While it’s way too early to tell who exactly "won" the trade, the Cowboys’ first-round picks received from Green Bay for Parsons will ultimately be the crux of that decision. The Packers do have the better record at 2-1-1, while the Cowboys moved to 1-2-1 on the year. 

Josh Allen Named AFC Offensive Player of the Week After Insane Week 14 Comeback vs Bengals
For the THIRD time in 2025 and the 18th time in his legendary career, Josh Allen has been crowned AFC Offensive Player of the Week – putting him just behind Tom Brady for the most all-time. What he did to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday wasn’t football… it was a superhero movie. Stats that don’t even sound real: 22/28 (78.6%) – 251 passing yards – 3 passing TDs 9 carries – 78 rushing yards – 1 rushing TD (including a 40-yard sprint for the ages) → 4 total TDs, zero turnovers, and a perfect passer rating in the 4th quarter. The Moments That Broke the Internet Down 11 in the 2nd quarter, 4th-and-4 from the 11-yard line Josh Allen escapes pressure, rolls left, and throws an absolute DIME across his body to Khalil Shakir backing into the end zone. Then hits Dawson Knox for the 2-point conversion. Sean McDermott’s one-word reaction on Monday? “Audacity.” Bengals just took a two-possession lead in the 4th Allen needs only 1:11 to march 75 yards and scores himself on a 40-yard touchdown run – the longest rushing TD by a Bill in regular-season history. Game on the line, 3rd-and-15 with 1:54 left Instead of punting, Josh scrambles for the first down, takes a knee twice, and ends the game. Ballgame. History Made (Again) 11th career game with 3+ passing TDs + 1+ rushing TD → most in NFL history (only player with 10+) First player ever with 20+ pass TDs & 10+ rush TDs in three separate seasons First player ever with multiple games of 250+ pass yds, 75+ rush yds, 3+ pass TDs, 1+ rush TD 50th career game with at least 1 passing + 1 rushing TD → extends his own NFL record Josh Allen didn’t just beat the Bengals – he reminded the entire league why he’s the 2025 MVP front-runner. Bills Mafia, is this the best single-game performance of Josh’s career? Sound off in the comments!
