Parsons<\/a>, 26, wants a new contract that would reflect his status as one of the stars in the NFL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is claimed he is after a deal worth \u00a3200MILLION which would make him one of the best-paid players ever.<\/p>\n

However, general manager Jerry Jones<\/a> has been reluctant to stump up the cash.<\/p>\n

The distance between Parsons and the Cowboys seems to be growing as he made the change to his social media.<\/p>\n

He also posted a picture on X of an Old Testament bible verse – Micah 7:8.<\/p>\n

It read: “Even if I fall, I will rise. The Lord is my light.”<\/p>\n

Parsons’ decision comes after he was tipped with a trade deal away from the Cowboys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NFL\u00a0<\/a>Network insider Ian Rapoport has suggested that he could make the controversial switch to the Green Bay Packers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rapoport said: “I would expect that the Packers would be among the teams interested.<\/p>\n

“They have paid Jordan Love<\/a>, they have a bunch of really good young players, but there’s some guys like Quay Walker they’ve not paid.<\/p>\n

Micah Parsons caught up in embarrassing moment on live NFL game broadcast during Dallas Cowboys contract dispute<\/p>\n

“They have money to spend and they are really good.<\/p>\n

“I would expect that the Packers would be among the teams interested.<\/p>\n

“They need one final piece and this guy is an absolute dawg.<\/p>\n

“He’s worth all the money so pay him all the money.”<\/p>\n
