Dallas Cowboys superstar Micah Parsons has not spoken with owner/general manager Jerry Jones since publicly requesting a trade from the franchise.

However, they were still without their best defensive player, All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons. That's because Parsons and team owner/general manager Jerry Jones are in a negotiating stalemate. Jones attempted to downplay Parsons' on-field absence after practice Tuesday and said he feels the two sides are built to overcome their issues even after Parsons requested a trade on Friday.

Parsons has not responded publicly to Jones' remarks. The 26-year-old remains at training camp but has yet to participate because of a sore back. He spent part of Tuesday's workout talking to Cowboys defensive back Trevon Diggs, Rams wide receiver Davante Adams, and former Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth.
