Micah Parsons makes his return to AT&T Stadium on Sunday.The star pass rusher, who ranks among the very best defensive players of his generation, spent four years with the Dallas Cowboys.Parsons was traded to the Packers after four seasons with the CowboysGettyBut a high-profile contract dispute with owner Jerry Jones led to a shock departure, and Parsons was traded to the Green Bay Packers on the eve of the 2025 season — a decision the Cowboys have since been mocked for.The defensive end immediately agreed a four-year, $188 million contract, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.The Cowboys, meanwhile, received defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round draft picks for their star.But just one month after he departed Dallas, Parsons returns to AT&T Stadium with the Packers for a Week 4 Sunday Night Football matchup. It’s unclear exactly what kind of reception he’ll get from Cowboys fans, with many feeling he was forced out by Jones, but one thing is for sure: The team won’t be marking Micah’s comeback.Cowboys fans split on Parsons returnSpeaking on Monday, after the Cowboys slipped to 1-2 with a surprise loss against the Chicago Bears, Jones confirmed that Parsons will not be recognised before Sunday’s game.“I don’t think that’s appropriate this way,” he said, before comparing the returning Packer to another Dallas legend.“Emmitt (Smith coming back) was a different story.“But that’s not to diminish Micah. I think Micah’s got enough welcome out there. “We just need to show we’ve got antidotes for that.”Parsons will be back in Dallas for a much-anticipated Week 4 matchupGettyHe will not be honored by the Cowboys on his return to AT&T StadiumGettyNews of the Cowboys’ decision not to honor Parsons immediately split the fan base, with some suggesting that a star who racked up 52.5 sacks with the team while becoming one of the top defensive players in the league should be recognized.“Business is business, but man, this feels cold. Micah was a game-changer for that defense,” one fan wrote on X.“Messed up,” a second person responded.“I hate the Cowboys. I think it’s time to find me a new team,” a third wrote.Others, however, agreed with the decision.“I mean, if he wasn’t gonna pay him he’s definitely not going to make a ‘we miss you’ video. That’s admitting he was wrong… Jerry ain’t gonna do that,” one said.Jones has explained why Parsons won’t get a tribute from the CowboysGetty“Not a problem. Micah will impose plenty of tribulations to the Cowboys,” another said.“I’m sure he will con ‘tribute’ to several pressures and a sack of the highest-paid player in the NFL,” a third said, predicting Parsons to wreak havoc against Dak Prescott.Jones teases ‘special’ plan for Parsons picksAhead of Parsons’ return to AT&T Stadium, Jones has also been discussing what the Cowboys could choose to do with the draft picks they received in the trade.Instead of using them in the first round of the 2026 and 2027 drafts, the owner and general manager would be open to putting them back on the table.NFL's Greatest......Ranking the top 10......Quarterbacks of all-time – Can anyone better Tom Brady?Wide receivers of all-time – Does Randy Moss or Jerry Rice come out on top?Running backs of all-time – Stacking Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith and moreTight ends of all-time – How does Travis Kelce compare?“If I had the opportunity to really do some good with those picks, I would do it,” Jones explained.“We’ve got them and that’s one of the advantages to making the trade.“You’ve got to have something that comes your way that’s really special, and if you’ve got the currency to do it, which in this case would be draft picks, we’ll do it.”While he stopped short of revealing the exact star he would be looking to trade for, Jones noted that other teams will need to make big-time players available.The Cowboys could choose to use the draft picks they got for Parsons in another tradeGetty“To use that capital, you’ve got to have the opportunity to use it,” he concluded.Only time will tell what the Cowboys will be able to do with the picks they got in return for shipping Parsons to Green Bay, but the next few days will be all about how they can stop him wreaking havoc on Sunday — pregame tribute or not.Stay up to date with the latest from the NFL across all platforms – follow our dedicated talkSPORT USA Facebook page and subscribe to our talkSPORT USA YouTube channel for all the news, exclusives, interviews and more.
