Jets lacked 'resources' to get Parsons, Jones says
""didn't have the resources to entertain conversations.""
""A prerequisite to the entire trade was that we had to have right now a really, frankly significant dominant inside defensive player," Jones said. "That was a prerequisite. You didn't get in the mentality of my trading if you didn't have that coming through the door.""
Jerry Jones contacted the New York Jets with an offer to trade Micah Parsons, requesting defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and draft picks. The Jets declined the overture, saying they "didn't have the resources to entertain conversations." Jones instead completed a trade sending Parsons to the Green Bay Packers for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks. Parsons immediately signed a four-year, $188 million contract extension with Green Bay. Jones emphasized the need for a dominant interior defensive lineman as a prerequisite for any trade. Quinnen Williams is a 2022 first-team All-Pro under contract through 2027.
