The Green Bay Packers have turned the page to their upcoming Sunday Night Football clash with the Dallas Cowboys. The matchup will serve as a homecoming game for Micah Parsons, who spent the first four seasons of his career in Dallas before a shocking trade sent him to Green Bay less than two weeks before the beginning of the 2025 campaign.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has already made it clear that he has no plans to honor Parsons with a tribute video, while adding that he does respect the three-team All-Pro. He has been unable to stop talking about his former player, though, and it appears that will continue until gameday.

Jones once again discussed Parsons this week as he continues to give the superstar fuel for a big revenge game this weekend. He claimed that the decision to move the four-time Pro Bowler was not personal.

Jones has proven that it is nearly impossible for him to stay out of headlines. He continued to show that he may have some inner regret about his decision to move on from Parsons during his appearance on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday. The Cowboys owner was asked if he believed he let his money get mad and that negotiations became personal.

"Absolutely not. Not at all. It was nothing personal. I told you, I like Micah and there was no issue. As much as people wanted to make that of it, 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," Jones said.

"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. As a matter of fact, cool as a cucumber as far as feelings."

Jones has spent much of the week leading up to the matchup with the Packers talking about his former superstar pass-rusher. Despite playing a career-low 63 percent of the defensive snaps as he gets familiar with the system, Parsons has already made an impact in Green Bay.

He has recorded five total tackles, three solo tackles, one tackle for loss, 1.5 sacks, and six quarterback hits over his first three games.

The Packers have allowed just 14.7 points per game. Meanwhile, his former team has given up an average of 30.7, which is the sixth-highest mark in the NFL. Parsons already had plenty of motivation heading into Week 4 after the Cowboys' decision to trade him, but Jones continues to give him even more fuel.
