Micah Parsons confirms Cowboys exit in cryptic post amid stalled contract talks with Jerry Jones

Micah Parsons appeared to hint that he might leave the Dallas Cowboys via a cryptic tweet on Friday, only days after negotiations on a contract extension reportedly slowed down.

The linebacker quoted a tweet from Cowboys content creator "J Tuck," which included a photo of Parsons and cornerback Trevon Diggs laughing it up in training camp practice.

"Im prepared to burn this app down ....," Tuck tweeted.

However, when Parsons caught wind of the tweet, he tweeted a GIF of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence from a scene in the Bad Boys movie with a caption that read:

"One last time."

Parsons is entering the final year of his rookie deal with the Cowboys and is set to make $24 million on the fifth-year option in the 2025 season.

He was often in talks with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones about his desired contract extension this offseason. The negotiations have been dragged out for several months, and we're now into training camp but with no update.

According to reports, Parsons is looking for a deal in the region of making around $40 million annually. Fans and analysts have had mixed reactions to the negotiations between the two parties. Some believe that Parsons isn't worthy of a mega contract, while others feel that the Cowboys should splash the cash to keep him for the long haul.
