Four months after the Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers amid stalled contract negotiations, the bad blood between the two sides remains.<\/p>\n
That was clear on New Year\u2019s Day, as the star pass-rusher went on a social media spree poking fun at his former team.<\/p>\n
After weighing in<\/a> on the Cowboys\u2019 release of cornerback Trevon Diggs and defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus\u2019 honest assessment of his Parsons-less defense,<\/a> the former Penn State star explained the reasoning behind his comments. And it all points back to Jerry Jones, who wasn\u2019t shy to discuss Parsons before or after the trade.<\/p>\n \u201cY\u2019all want me to feel bad? Jerry Jones slandered my name to Cowboys media and national media for months,\u201d the 26-year-old wrote. \u201cSo I do think I can react to comment if I want to! #respectfully\u201d<\/p>\n Y\u2019all want me to feel bad?

Although Jones remained steadfast in is desire to keep the 2021 Defensive Rookie of the Year in Dallas, both and Cowboys general manager Stephen Jones (Jerry\u2019s son) made plenty of statements downplaying his value<\/a>, including a clear post-trade shot at his training habits<\/a>.<\/p>\n Naturally, it didn\u2019t take long for Jones to respond, as he made his weekly appearance<\/a> on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Friday. But when asked about Parsons\u2019 comments, the Cowboys owner didn\u2019t return fire and even admitted that he gets why the 5-time Pro Bowl selection feels the way he does.<\/p>\n
