As his contract dispute continues, Micah Parsons made another cryptic post on social media. The Dallas Cowboys star used an Allen Iverson quote in the background of a TikTok video.

Parsons’ video included photos of him appearing to kiss and wave goodbye as the sound played behind them. It featured Iverson saying: “I’ma win wherever I go. Wherever I go, I’ma win. I don’t care where I go. I don’t give a damn what team I go to. I’ma win.”

It’s the latest twist in Parsons’ contract situation as he seeks a new deal with the Cowboys. He also removed any mention of the franchise from his X and Instagram bios Thursday night, nearly three weeks after he went public with his trade request.

Talks between Parsons and the Cowboys went on throughout the offseason, but the situation reached a new level of tension in training camp. The former Penn State star has not practiced, and he also has been dealing with a back injury.

Earlier in the summer, Jerry Jones said he talked with Parsons about a new deal, but his agent David Mulugheta wasn’t present. Thursday, Jones said when he approached Mulugheta about details of that framework, he got a poignant response.

“When we wanted to send the details to the agent, the agent told us to stick it up our ass,” Jones said. “Just so we’re clear … [Micah] and I talked and then we were going to send it over to the agent. We had our agreements on term, amount, guarantees, all that.”

The sense is Parsons is on track to become the NFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback with his next contract, which would come as his rookie deal expires. However, the pass-rush market shifted multiple times this offseason. Both Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt received new deals worth $40 million annually.

Jones later said he agreed to give Parsons a lucrative deal. He added fans would understand just how bad he wants to keep him in Dallas based on that offer.

“The world would know that I want Micah if they knew what I had offered him,” Jones said. “And he knows what I offered him. So, the world would know that I would want Micah on the team and respect what he would bring to the team.”

Micah Parsons has been around the Cowboys team during training camp, though he’s not participating in workouts as negotiations go along. As for when a resolution could come, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said the two sides aren’t in good standing. He went so far as to predict Parsons and the cowboys could be heading “towards divorce.”
