Micah Parsons shocked the NFL world when he requested a trade from the Dallas Cowboys on Friday. He said he no longer wanted to play for the franchise, citing stalled contract negotiations and silence from the Cowboys brass as the main contributors for his request.

The 28-year-old defensive star officially requested a trade from the Cowboys after negotiations with the team and owner Jerry Jones hit a wall back in the spring, according to ESPN insider Adam Schefter.
