Oxnard, California — The Dallas Cowboys opened camp with high hopes, but two weeks in, the biggest storyline isn’t football — it’s Micah Parsons’ unresolved trade request.
🔥 Trade Request Still Hanging Over Camp
League sources confirm Parsons has privately asked to be traded. Talks between his camp and the front office have reportedly stalled, creating a cloud over every practice. One insider told NFL Network:
“You can feel it in every drill. This is the elephant in the room.”
🎤 Prescott’s Speech Interrupted
On Tuesday, Dak Prescott tried to lift the mood with a passionate Super Bowl rally cry before practice. Players say he had the locker room locked in — until they noticed Parsons standing near his stall, arms crossed, locked in a silent stare with the QB.
“It wasn’t yelling,” one player said. “But you could feel the tension.”

🛑 Official Response
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer downplayed the moment:
“We’re competitive. That’s what I saw.”
He refused to comment on the trade request, calling talks “ongoing.”
📊 Why It Matters
Parsons is in his prime and critical to Dallas’ Super Bowl hopes. Prescott is entering a make-or-break season. Public tension between the two could derail the team before Week 1.
