Cowboys’ Jerry Jones reportedly still has strong feelings about Micah Parsons trade originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Throughout the first five weeks of the season, the Dallas Cowboys haven't had much success.
The Cowboys look like a team that can win games at a high level, but unfortunately, they haven't been able to do so. Much of that is because their defense is one of the worst in the NFL, as shown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football in Week 5.
While the Buccaneers scored only 24 points, they put up 419 total yards.
Simply put, the Cowboys at 2-3 look like they're missing something, and one can argue they're missing a guy like Micah Parsons, who Jerry Jones traded after a summer contract standoff, leading to a deal right before the start of the regular season.
With the Packers taking on the Cowboys this week, the conversation has come up multiple times, despite Parsons being out with an injury. According to one recent report, Jones made a mistake by trading him and really regrets it.
“He knows he (messed up) trading ([Micah] Parsons) (to Green Bay) last year,” the GM told La Canfora, H/T Heavy. “That haunts him.”
Because Parsons is currently hurt, the conversations regarding the Cowboys making the wrong decision haven't been as prevalent as they likely would be.
When he returns and Parsons comes back playing the type of football we all expect, Jones will really have to live with his decisions.
It'll be interesting to see what happens, but there's a good reason to believe Parsons will come back and be just as good as he always has been.
