The Dallas Cowboys will welcome Micah Parsons back at AT&T Stadium on Sunday night when they host the Green Bay Packers, a month after the Cowboys traded him.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who was the main proponent of driving the trade definitely had people questioning his intelligence after the trade, but Jones is not worried about facing Parsons on Sunday. In fact, during a radio interview with 105.3 The FAN, Jones said he believes the Cowboys can shut down Parsons.
“Now let’s make no mistake about it: Micah is special, and we all know he is, and he can be disruptive,” Jones said. “But we have huge amounts of experience with the anecdotes that we’ve seen used on us for the last four years. And while he does make great plays, there is also a way to approach playing against Micah. As we know, we didn’t exactly win the Super Bowl those years.
“The bottom line is, when I look at playing him, I think of trying to have him as an advantage when we were playing other teams over the last four years,” Jones continued. “Some plays, it looks beautiful. But then other plays, especially running plays, you can wish you’d had a different formation.”

It’s been a month since Parsons was dealt to the Packers, in a move that many attributed to Jones’ ego in his refusal to give in to Parsons’ contract demands. The four-time Pro Bowler reportedly signed a four-year, $188 million deal with the Packers after joining the team, including $136 million guaranteed — money that Jones was not willing to give him. Dallas received two first-round draft picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark in return for the trade.
But now, Parsons will be returning to Dallas just four weeks into the season, facing off against his old team in prime time.
