Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says he didn’t ignore his own advice by weighing emotions over business when deciding to trade Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers.
Jones was asked during a Tuesday appearance on 105.3 The Fan if the Parsons trade had gone against his infamous quote, “don’t let your money get mad.”
“Absolutely not. Not at all,” Jones answered. “It was nothing personal. I told you, I like Micah. And there was no issue, as much as people wanted to make that up, there was no issue regarding feelings relative to the negotiation, certainly not on my part. It was just par for the course.
“And the facts are, the negotiation was ongoing. Now, people made a lot of that we weren’t talking. I had on the table the best I could do. Period. And, really, I wanted to see if by chumming it up out there, that we could see what Micah might be worth in trade value. And that was the plan all the way through the negotiation.”
The Cowboys traded Parsons to the Packers on Aug. 28 in exchange for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks.
