Jerry Jones reveals why he didn't call Micah Parsons about trade, says he's 'feeling real good' about deal

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones can't help himself when it comes to former pass rusher Micah Parsons. During his usual Tuesday media appearance, Jones reignited his feud with Parsons after the Cowboys battled to a 40-40 tie with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.

Following the game, Parsons called out Jones for not reaching out about the pass rusher's trade to the Packers. Parsons said Jones "couldn't tell me [about the trade] as a man."

Jones responded to that comment Tuesday, saying he stopped calling after Parsons said to take his number out of Jones' phone.

While the Cowboys' 40-40 tie could be viewed as a disappointing game result, Jones saw it as evidence he was right to trade away Parsons. During his media appearance Tuesday, Jones said that result made him feel "real good about our trade."

Parsons was limited to just three tackles - and a sack - in the tie. While it wasn't a dominant statistical performance, Parsons did manage three quarterback hits, so he did make the most of his opportunities.

Kenny Clark, the player the Cowboys acquired for Parsons, was also limited in the box score. Clark notched two tackles and one quarterback hit in the tie.

Neither player stood out enough in the game to declare the trade a win or loss for either team, but that didn't stop Jones.

That shouldn't come as a surprise at this point. The feud between Jones and Parsons clearly reached a point of no return in the offseason, and both men still carry some bitterness over the way things came apart.

With Sunday's game out of the way, the Packers and Cowboys won't face each other again this season unless both teams meet in the playoffs. While that should give Jones and Parsons plenty of time to cool down after a rocky offseason, both sides seem all too willing to relive the past every time the topic comes up.
