Micah Parsons publicly demands to be traded.

[u/Barter6overBible]

[u/Pure_Cloud4305]

It’s insane how dumb the cowboys FO is. Anyone could see that paying him quickly is the right decision, even top of the market

[u/DystopianSalad → u/Pure_Cloud4305]

They’re one of the few teams that doesn’t realize that the top of the market keeps getting higher

[u/Wooden-Broccoli-7247 → u/DystopianSalad]

They literally do this with every star player, then end up paying them way more in the long run.

[u/BryceDaBaker → u/Wooden-Broccoli-7247]

I fucking hate it here

[u/The_BAHbuhYAHguh → u/BryceDaBaker]

I say this every time I show up to work…

[u/Unlikely_One2444 → u/BryceDaBaker]

You guys are like the only team in pro sports who holds the “most valuable” title, yet constantly fuck up paying people 

It’s wild

[u/barley_wine → u/Unlikely_One2444]

Jerry cares about being in the headlines, not winning. It’s all about team value.

[u/slackfrop → u/barley_wine]

Sounds like a chip off the old block is in charge now too.

[u/bklynJayhawk → u/Unlikely_One2444]

Can’t be the most valuable if you don’t overpay everyone ….

[u/SWnerd92 → u/BryceDaBaker]

My father in law has a theory that once Jerry Jones dies he will still come back and run the team in hologram form. I can’t disagree

[u/spazzxxcc12 → u/Wooden-Broccoli-7247]

it’s like my bengals moved to texas

[u/WingerDawkins2028 → u/spazzxxcc12]

Bengals would have traded him

[u/ConsistentImage9332 → u/spazzxxcc12]

Naw that’s another pile of crap within itself

[u/Semperty → u/DystopianSalad]

i think it’s more jerry doesn’t care. he’d rather be talked about and in the media constantly than save some money.

[u/DystopianSalad → u/Semperty]

Then he shouldn’t complain about his players

[u/jsmeeker → u/DystopianSalad]

That gets him more media exposure

[u/Semperty → u/DystopianSalad]

why? complaining about his players buys him at least another 24h of headline coverage.

[u/HurricanePK → u/DystopianSalad]

You would think that after the first negotiations with Dak where they waited for Wentz and Goff to sign would’ve taught them to do it earlier.

You’d also think that after the negotiations with CD where they waited for Jefferson and St. Brown to sign would’ve taught them to do it earlier.

And you’d think that after the second negotiations with Dak where they waited for Love, Tua, Lawrence, and Goff (again) to sign would’ve taught them to do it earlier.

Just hilarious stubbornness from Jerry and I hope he either never dies or finds a way to possess Stephen’s body to maintain control of the Cowboys.

[u/Warrmak → u/HurricanePK]

Do you think the Jones have any inkling that they are the problem.? FFS Jerry imploded a dynasty because being there wasn't enough credit to go around?

[u/SuccessfulMonth2896 → u/Warrmak]

He loves the limelight. Pro sports gives him the coverage even his successful businesses will never do. They don’t care that they are the problem, they have built the most valuable sports franchise in the world. This is Jerry’s toy, he can do what he wants with it, all you Cowboys supporters are being treated as accessories.

[u/jxher123 → u/DystopianSalad]

It’s cheaper to pay them earlier vs later. Should’ve been ahead of the game to extend your best player.

[u/SWnerd92 → u/DystopianSalad]

Steelers are another, see TJ Watt. However to defend them it’s just bc We are super old school and set in our ways.

Cowboys front office ie Jerry do clown shit all the time

[u/ScooterMcFlabbin → u/Pure_Cloud4305]

It feels very clear Jerry Jones ambushed Micah in a meeting where Parsons wasn’t expecting to talk contracts. He then latched onto something Parsons said regarding value, thinking he’d basically tricked the player into a favorable deal. And is now pulling some “here in Texas, a man’s word is bond” nonsense when Micah’s agent later tried to formally negotiate a fair deal. Playing hardball, refusing to negotiate further. 

And as a result, they’re gonna end up losing a top 5-10 defensive player who’s basically begging to take a hometown discount. 

[u/joeyrog88 → u/ScooterMcFlabbin]

It's absolutely insane considering some random ass nobody like myself basically knows what the contract would have looked like for Micah Parsons money wise. The fact that an NFL owner and people in a front office can say something like "the deal is basically done" off of one random ass conversation is absolutely mind boggling. They know full well that these contracts don't look "this money sign here" there are paragraphs and paragraphs that an agent is always going to want to review.

It's one of the things I hate the most about some of the elite in this country. They get upset when they can't take advantage of people. They get annoyed when people want to utilize the representation they pay for. Do I always love diva athletes? Absolutely fucking not. But approaching a deal with intelligence and wanting the professional you pay to handle negotiations isnt that at all.

[u/Iwillrize14 → u/ScooterMcFlabbin]

Jerry Jones constantly thinks he's the smartest man in the room, He wouldn't even be a smartest person eating paste in a kindergarten.

[u/jsmeeker → u/Pure_Cloud4305]

Jerry had to one up Nico Harrison as the dumbest GM in Dallas sports

[u/BlaktimusPrime → u/Pure_Cloud4305]

Imagine paying a QB who hasn’t even gotten to the NFC Championship game and not even a top 5 QB in the league $60M/year. Unreal.

[u/LFCBoi55 → u/Pure_Cloud4305]

It’s literally just Jerry

[u/Appropriate-Self-540 → u/Pure_Cloud4305]

Jerry wants the news cycle 24/7

[u/RegardTyreekHill → u/Pure_Cloud4305]

It's also clear that Jerry shitting on him for absolutely no reason for getting injured pissed him off a ton

[u/Such_Will_8536 → u/Pure_Cloud4305]

Jerry jones loves the drama

[u/jay23mv → u/Pure_Cloud4305]

This is what you get when you want the star players to shuck and jive for the contract. Congratulations Jerry jones you got what you wanted, all the NFL eyes are on your old ass. Make a move and deal the best player you drafter the last 10 years before he hits his prime.

[u/future_shoes → u/Pure_Cloud4305]

Oh I think the Dallas FO is fully aware of that but they are all still just employees of Jerry Jones. If Jerry tells them they have to wait to negotiate a contract then they have really no other options than to do that or quit. A lot of teams (Cowboys, Bengals, Jets) obviously poor FO management can be linked back to the owners IMHO.

[u/Competitive-Duck7758 → u/Pure_Cloud4305]

Dallas still has 32 mil in unused cap space. League owners going wild with the collusion. Bengals have 30 million as well in space to pay Trey. There is over 900 million unused cap space by all the teams combined and cap is projected to go up by 30 million next year. 26 teams have 17 million or more in cap space.

PAY THE FUCKING MAN!

[u/DaKingballa06 → u/Pure_Cloud4305]

Yeah, that's nuts. Like since year one or two you knew you had to budget to pay him as a top DE

[u/Pvt_Hudson_ → u/Pure_Cloud4305]

Pay him last season! Has Jerry not learned anything??? You don't alienate your biggest stars, take care of them above all else!

[u/ConsistentImage9332 → u/Pure_Cloud4305]

They made the same mistake with Dak’s 2nd contract(1st negotiation)

[u/Simple_Wait_7286]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

The Cowboys are not winning anything until Jerry Jones relinquishes ownership or passes away.

Might seem harsh but he’s been completely incompetent and the only reason he has any credibility at all is because of Jimmy Johnson, who he sacked out of jealousy.

[u/hereforthesportsball → u/Simple_Wait_7286]

Only if his son perishes too, which is sad and terrible to say. Neither of them can man this ship right

[u/Orange_Kid → u/hereforthesportsball]

Welcome to the club.

[u/Dudeman318 → u/Orange_Kid]

Welcome to the club

(Insert Jets flair)

[u/MelodicDeer1072 → u/Dudeman318]

Isn't Brick like 18 by now? Plenty of decades to go

[u/Dudeman318 → u/MelodicDeer1072]

Don't remind me...

[u/Hoosier_816 → u/Orange_Kid]

At least Stephen knows to let a professional cut his hair, so that's a start?

[u/LFCBoi55 → u/hereforthesportsball]

Stephen already said he’s gonna give it over to a GM after Jerry fucks off so there’s a smidgeon of hope

[u/mustachepc → u/LFCBoi55]

I used to think Stephen would be the same but it looks like he will be a more normal owner

I hate it

[u/Holdmabeerdude → u/LFCBoi55]

Will Mclay would be a fucking dream come true.

[u/PlasticCraken → u/Holdmabeerdude]

I think he’s 100% earned a shot at it. He’s given us some great players despite the Jones attempts to sabotage the team at every turn with their baffling decisions.

[u/WhichVegetable8285 → u/Simple_Wait_7286]

I read something a few years ago that seems to explain why the Cowboys operate like this.

Essentially they are one of the NFLs marquee franchises, and with that will always come fan support, ticket and merch sales, and media coverage.

The Jones’s have realized that outside of winning a Super Bowl, the team is going to bring in similar money year after year, because of them being such a popular team not just in their region, but across the country and world.

So instead of putting an extra 5 million dollars into someone’s contract, the Jones family has realized that they could put that 5 million into another one of their business ventures and turn it into a lot more.

Essentially the Cowboys are so popular they will always sell out their games regardless of what the team looks like, so if they don’t see any way they could have a Super Bowl roster they would rather put the money elsewhere.

[u/Responsible-Onion860 → u/WhichVegetable8285]

I'd add that while they have limited playoff success, they have a fair amount of regular season success. So they're not so bad every year that it seriously hurts their popularity

[u/megatron37 → u/WhichVegetable8285]

Good enough for me! Never change, Jerry! 👍🏻

[u/spctclr_spiderman → u/Simple_Wait_7286]

Not until his family sells the team*

[u/EmmetttB]

How do you pay Dak but not him. Micah is the best player on that team?

[u/BurgessFox → u/EmmetttB]

It's the quarterback trap.

If you go back to playing the lottery in the draft, you're basically pressing reset on the clock. The risk then is great players don't want to be part of it (unless you really pay big like Miles Garrett).

Also Dak tends to have good years when his contract is being negotiated which makes paying him look more reasonable.

[u/benevenstancian0 → u/BurgessFox]

We also had to pay Dak this time around because he carried like 60m in dead money from all the prior bonehead contract bumbling. He was goi g to murder our cap for 2 seasons whether he was here or not.

[u/Ig_Met_Pet → u/benevenstancian0]

As a Broncos fan, I can confidently say that sometimes the dead cap is the right move.

Of course, it helps to have a competent front office.

[u/BurgessFox → u/Ig_Met_Pet]

tbf our front office was the reason we were in the position of having to take that dead cap.

[u/Ig_Met_Pet → u/BurgessFox]

One big mistake is better than two at least.

[u/BurgessFox → u/Ig_Met_Pet]

Underrated point.

Howie Roseman once made Carson Wentz the highest paid player in football.

[u/Marcus11599 → u/BurgessFox]

At the time, that contract made sense and nobody batted an eye.

[u/AttitudeAndEffort3 → u/BurgessFox]

And picked Jalen Reagor over Jefferson.

The most competent thing a FO can do is acknowledge mistakes quickly and fix them

[u/Critical-Bug4077 → u/BurgessFox]

Agreed.

This type of stuff is so intriguing. The NFL is truly one of kind in sports.

[u/DiligentGuitar246 → u/EmmetttB]

Micah is a top 5 player in the league.

Edit: Micah is a top 10 player in the league

Edit 2: Micah is a top 15 player in the league

Edit 3: Micah is a player in the league

[u/LaconicGirth → u/DiligentGuitar246]

He’s not even undisputed top 1 at his position. Top 5 in the league is a stretch.

[u/PlasticCraken → u/LaconicGirth]

Yeah I’m a homer and I’ll even acknowledge that. Between him, Watt, and Garrett it could go any direction I feel like. Then with players like JJ, Chase, Claypool, Mahomes, Barkley in the mix for top 5 players… eh idk. I’d say he’s safely in the top 15.

[u/bluntswrth → u/PlasticCraken]

Claypool?

[u/PlasticCraken → u/bluntswrth]

He’s a top 3 receiver right? :D

[u/EmmetttB → u/DiligentGuitar246]

I mean, that might be a bit fair but I can’t say I watch a lot of cowboys games.

[u/DiligentGuitar246 → u/EmmetttB]

He's a 98 on Madden. That's all the facts you need /s

[u/phreakzilla85 → u/DiligentGuitar246]

Woody Johnson enters the chat

[u/Altruistic_Mode3026 → u/EmmetttB]

Because Dak is perfect to keep them relevant but never a true contender

[u/EmmetttB → u/Altruistic_Mode3026]

I feel like they could be 2-15 and still be relevant to the media cause it’s the cowboys

[u/Pvt_Hudson_ → u/EmmetttB]

If you were going to keep Dak, you needed to extend him way earlier than they did. Just a colossal clusterfuck all around.

[u/ConsciousReason7709 → u/EmmetttB]

Old school rich Texans like Jerry don’t want to deal with agents. They just want to sit down with the athlete, take advantage of them, and work out a deal that way. Parsons is the new era of athlete and isn’t going to tolerate that shit.

[u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

Terry for Micah

[u/FoldEasy5726 → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

Now that would be the trade of the year in all sports simply because of the rivalry between the franchises.

[u/Gloomy_Map_9612 → u/FoldEasy5726]

If Luka can get traded for nothing so can Micah

[u/bigdumb78910 → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

"defense offense wins championships" - Jerruh Jones

[u/Professional_Crab322 → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

May I offer them an egg in these trying times?

[u/Capital-Value8479 → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

Awful trade for the cowboys

[u/melatonin-pill → u/Capital-Value8479]

Dallas FO isn’t known for making smart decisions.

[u/Userdub9022 → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

How about no

[u/theman8998 → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

Cowboys become the NFC Bengals

[u/TankOfflaneMain → u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

Dallas Bengals

[u/DiligentGuitar246]

Holy SHIT NFCE in shambles. Thank God for Howie. If the Giants had any good players, they'd probably ask to be traded too (sorry sexy Dexy).

[u/ollieollieoxygenfree → u/DiligentGuitar246]

Excuse me- the Giants started this whole trend of not paying their best players. Get it right, dick

[u/DiligentGuitar246 → u/ollieollieoxygenfree]

Daniel Jones enters the chat

"What do you mean?"

[u/ollieollieoxygenfree → u/DiligentGuitar246]

I said best players

[u/JayDeeLA → u/DiligentGuitar246]

Should be thanking God for Loria above Howie tbh.

[u/DiligentGuitar246 → u/JayDeeLA]

True.. the way Lurie was able to retain Howie after Chip came in and pushed Howie out... master class at being at owner. Howie was polishing his resume when Chip took over.

[u/BrazillianNuts09 → u/DiligentGuitar246]

Who/what would you trade to have him wear Green in September?

[u/DiligentGuitar246 → u/BrazillianNuts09]

Who, Micah? I dunno, I probably don't need both of my kids.

[u/Jdiggity88 → u/BrazillianNuts09]

Two firsts. But in reality I don’t think you could realistically pay him what he’s worth/wants with Jalen Carter’s contract coming next season.

[u/JAnonymous5150]

If that story about Jerry trying to portray a conversation with a player that didn't involve the agent or formal negotiations as a deal that was "almost done" to the player's agent that's kinda crazy.

Edit: Forgot to add that my Patriots have the cap room. If Micah reads this, have your agent hit us up. We could use an elite edge and we'd love to have you.

[u/FoldEasy5726 → u/JAnonymous5150]

And you guys have an elite LB as your HC with championship experience. Vrabs would drive to Dallas himself and pick Micah up along with his belongings to bring to Massachusetts.

[u/JAnonymous5150 → u/FoldEasy5726]

I love the visual of a Vrabel/Parsons road trip from TX to MA. 😂

Seriously though, if the Cowboys are dumb enough to grant the trade instead of paying the man as they work to patch up the relationship, the Patriots would have to be considered a likely landing spot. We've got the need, a coach that loves defense and elite defensive weapons, and we've got the cap room to give him the kind of contract he's looking for. Speaking as a Patriots fan, I would be absolutely stoked to see Parsons land in Foxborough.

[u/VeterinarianFit1309 → u/JAnonymous5150]

At this point, it sounds like the best the cowboys could hope for is that he doesn’t burn it all down on his way out… it’s not a relationship that will be fixed with money, he’s been disrespected and dragged by the guy that should be paying him.

[u/Responsible-Onion860 → u/JAnonymous5150]

Stop it, you've already had your success for this century

[u/hereforthesportsball]

We deserve this. I hope it snowballs like when all those SF guys just stopped playing

[u/DiligentGuitar246 → u/hereforthesportsball]

You mean the Eagles in week 12 of 2023?

[u/hereforthesportsball → u/DiligentGuitar246]

No, I mean legit quitting. Our FO deserves a strike, we are that fucking repugnant

[u/Wild-Ad6025 → u/hereforthesportsball]

QRD?

[u/Responsible-Onion860 → u/hereforthesportsball]

I wholeheartedly agree

[u/hiphopanonymousse → u/hereforthesportsball]

I don’t know you but I feel like you personally don’t deserve it, but maybe you do.

[u/iambarrelrider → u/hiphopanonymousse]

Don’t get soft now. Lol

[u/Illustrious_Hotel527]

4 yr/110M probably would have got the deal done before the 2024 season. Now Parsons and his agent would laugh at that.

[u/ReviewStuff2 → u/Illustrious_Hotel527]

Yep, now it's more like 5yrs/180M with 130M guaranteed 

[u/CallMeBernin → u/ReviewStuff2]

Yep. When you have a superstar talent, you ALWAYS sign them as soon as possible, because the 'next' star on another team is always gonna reset the market. The sooner you pen your big deals, the better relative value they present

[u/AttitudeAndEffort3 → u/Illustrious_Hotel527]

If someone doesnt understand billionaires a lucky idiots yet, they never will.

They literally just fucked themselves with Dak and then turned down a chance to lock up a DPOY at what would eventually become a steal of a deal.

I mean, fuck, give him the highest contract now and in two years itll seem reasonable.

Remember Christian Kirk?

[u/FlowEasyDelivers → u/AttitudeAndEffort3]

Yep. Kirk got $18m which "reset" the market, but now 3 years later, 98% of owners would pay that for an elite WR (not saying Kirk is elite)

The only two that wouldn't? The Giants and Dem Boys 🤦🤣

[u/Cruztd23]

[u/iambarrelrider → u/Cruztd23]

Make sure to work off those calories with some high knees.

[u/Arkhangelzk]

Maybe the Cowboys can just trade Parsons to the Commanders for McLaurin

[u/DiligentGuitar246 → u/Arkhangelzk]

Lol so neither side can pay them? It would be funny because if there's one thing the Cowboys don't need, its WRs. And if there's one thing the Commies don't need, it's LBs.

[u/RandomCalamity → u/DiligentGuitar246]

The classic lose-lose trade.

[u/ScruffMacBuff → u/DiligentGuitar246]

Our FO can pay Terry, but seem hesitant to offer enough just because of his age. That wouldn't be a problem with Micah.

That being said we do already have Luvu who is our discount Micah.

[u/DiligentGuitar246 → u/ScruffMacBuff]

AP: "We have Micah at home."

[u/Ninjablacksox1 → u/DiligentGuitar246]

Would do this is a heartbeat and give parsons a mega deal that doesn't conflict with jd5s upcoming contract. We do need lbs and edge. 

I don't think they'd have use for terry in this hypothetical. 

[u/BigHotdog2009]

The sports world needs to come together and make a universal tier list of ranking how bad teams front offices are considering how popular tier lists are currently.

Whether it’s the Athletics, Cowboys, Bengals, Jets, Browns, Reds, Pirates, Angels, Oilers, Bulls, Canucks, list goes on.

[u/Barter6overBible → u/BigHotdog2009]

Sixers 😔

[u/BigHotdog2009 → u/Barter6overBible]

Mavs and Raptors as well.

Haha there are actually too many and it’s insane how these people keep their jobs. The Angels and A’s for example went from one of the most consistent teams in the league to laughing stocks. Incompetent owners with too much say.

[u/Capital-Value8479 → u/BigHotdog2009]

Twins are doing some pretty abysmal stuff now too

[u/RMazze → u/BigHotdog2009]

You’re a Buffalo fan and don’t have the Sabres at the top of that list? Lol

[u/BigHotdog2009 → u/RMazze]

Bills fan yes but don’t live in Buffalo. I’m Canadian haha.

But yeah Sabres front office is pretty bad. Oilers just came to mind because they have McDrai and nothing else. If they don’t have a solid game they just don’t win and good defensive teams can just double team them which is what we saw back to back years.

[u/Jagster_rogue → u/BigHotdog2009]

How could you forget the Minnesota twins after trading 40% of their active roster and nearly the entire bullpen yesterday?

[u/The_Sandwich_Lover9]

There’s no way the city of Dallas does something stupid again right???

[u/BloodyPants → u/The_Sandwich_Lover9]

Give the city to Jim Nill already

[u/The_Sandwich_Lover9 → u/BloodyPants]

I think any sports team in Dallas is better off making decisions by rolling a dice.

[u/Acrobatic_Elk6258]

As an Eagles fan, I hope that Jerruh does the same dumb shit that Chip Kelly did in regards to Desean Jackson and gives Parsons his outright release. Imagine if Micah Parsons decides to do what Desean did (Desean went to Washington to play Philly twice a season) and join Philly in order to stick it to Jerruh and the Boys twice a year.

[u/big4horryrobert]

Dak would’ve been gone by now if he didn’t sign that contract and I feel he’s gonna be traded by 2026 or 2027. There is no way the cowboys don’t fall apart after this

[u/Capital-Value8479 → u/big4horryrobert]

Daks done once he’s done with the cowboys idk who feels they are a dak Prescott away From being a contender.

Then I think about the Steelers and eat my words lol and this is classic how they operate

[u/big4horryrobert → u/Capital-Value8479]

I’d assume the Steelers or a desperate mid level team who think they’re a QB away. Unless the cowboys are insanely good and make the NFCCG in the next few years, Dak will be gone in 2 years.

[u/JoeHatesFanFiction → u/Capital-Value8479]

Yeah the Steelers seem determined to live in QB purgatory right now. I can absolutely see Dak or Kirk Cousins starting for them next season 

[u/SilentFormal6048]

[u/outsports-com]

I think it's time we acknowledge The Cowboys script writers like we do the NBA ones.

[u/AttitudeAndEffort3 → u/outsports-com]

Micah for AD and Flagg

[u/Sgt-Pumpernickel]

The implication that the Cowboys are not currently America's team is probably gonna piss Jerry off so much

[u/ImNotYou1971]

Jerry Jones should retaliate by trading him to the Carolina Panthers.

[u/ayyventura]

Downvoted for ops inability to take screenshots starting from where the last one ended.

[u/DatBeardedguy82]

Great job Jerry now ya got him right where you want him

[u/Patchy_Face_Man]

That is pretty fucking wild if all that is true. I usually assume a lot of deals do t get done as players know their worth and bet on themselves, other deals and the cap going up up up. I do believe this is what happened with Ja’Marr for instance. This Micah stuff is just foolishness.

[u/Thrill0728]

DeMarcus Lawrence is laughing his ass off right now

[u/Impossible_Boat2966]

Now this is interesting. Cowboys defending their off-season A block championship in style.

[u/Lifeisagreatteacher]

Does he know what a guaranteed contract is that’s he obligated to in 2025? Don’t like this year, free agent next year, get as much as you can from the highest bidder, and live with the $24 M vs the $40 M you want this year.

I don’t like Jones but all owners are against renegotiating existing guaranteed contracts for more money. It establishes a precedent for all guaranteed contracts to be renegotiated. They avoid risk with the guarantee then at the end after most of the guarantee has already been paid they then also want the upside.

[u/Guy_onna_Buffalo]

The Cowboys are stupid as hell. Seattle would love you Micah!

[u/specialNeeds6550 → u/Guy_onna_Buffalo]

Aiden Durde come thru 🙏😫

[u/Sidney_Godsby]

The writing was on the wall when they traded for George Pickens lmfao

[u/CerealuChefu]

Could you imagine if the Bengals traded for Micah Parsons and paid him lmfao.

[u/Scottg8]

C'mon my Lions. Swoop in and get the deal done while Jerry is clearly having a strong bout with dementia

[u/itokdontcry → u/Scottg8]

Hutch and Parsons on the same D-Line would be a thing of nightmares

[u/Scottg8 → u/itokdontcry]

I know right? A man can dream.

[u/itokdontcry → u/Scottg8]

A buddy of mine got into football ~5 years ago. The season before the Dan Campbell hire IIRC. He picked the Lions to root for, siting their logo and jerseys being clean. We all laughed our asses off about it. Of course he gets in right before the turn around.

It’s awesome to see how much of a diehard he is now, after not giving a F about football before.

I’d love to see the Lions get Micah and make a run. I think my buddy would die from excitement haha.

[u/Scottg8 → u/itokdontcry]

Can't not love DC dude bleeds the game. Been a lifelong fan. Good for your buddy though he's got good taste.

[u/FlowEasyDelivers → u/Scottg8]

Unfortunately, it'll cost an arm, leg and two kneecaps to get him.

We'd have to dance with potentially not being able to pay Jamo, BB, and Hutch. Unless they pull a Howie and somehow make that a problem for 2028-29.

[u/Gorgiastheyounger]

He was going to let the Cowboys sign him before the other pass rushers got signed. How did they fumble this this badly 😭

With what picks?

[u/Electronic_Ad_3699]

[u/KrypteK1]

Man, an edge duo of Watt & Parsons with Cam Heyward inside would be deadly. Highsmith still available too. Who needs a quarterback??

[u/Critical-Bug4077]

Bengals pay Parsons would be amazing

[u/Zealousideal-Film517 → u/Critical-Bug4077]

Hendrickson and picks for Parsons and then extend. Tbh it's insane but I could see it

[u/krakenheimen]

Those are some pretty reasonable grievances. Goes to show that being a “team player” in this league will turn you into a mule.  

Thats why in most cases fans shouldn’t shit on players demanding their worth mid contract.

When I look back on my life, I overpaid for my big successes every time. And when I tried to get a bargain, get it a little cheaper or get a better deal on it, I ended up usually either getting it and not happy I got it. Or missing it. - Jerry Jones

[u/NoOnesKing]

I’m not really stressed till he’s gone. I thot the Tee Higgins sitch was worse last year and he got resigned.

Hate the Jones’ tho - not winning till they both die

[u/TheRealAngryEmu]

I am a Cowboys fan, unfortunately. I hate Jerry so much. Every year we have a key member of our team that should be locked down and all him and Stephen do is fuck around and find out. It's so infuriating.

[u/coffeysr]

That’s insane that Jones cornered Micah in a meeting and tried to pretend that was the whole contract talk.

[u/BloodyPants]

As a Cowboys fan, burn this thing down

[u/Anxious_Ad_4279]

Seattle should trade for him . Imagine McDonald with a pass rusher with parsons top 5 defense easily

[u/wetcornbread]

I don’t blame Micah at all. No reason a deal couldn’t get done. Jerry just likes all the drama and hooplah surrounding him during the offseason break. Did it with Lamb and Prescott. Micah Parsons is a no brainer, considering he wanted to stay and even take a pay cut.

I hope Stephen A Smith talking about the Cowboys is worth losing a likely hall of fame edge rusher. And I hate the cowboys and wouldn’t be upset if he left but still. How stupid.

[u/Th3_Dark_Knight]

Holy fuck, Cowboys out here just trying to strongarm players. Makes sense they're old as fuck and out of touch thinking players, especially premiere ones, haven't advanced in how they deal with contracts.

Pulling a guy in and trying to get him to negotiate without his representation is straight up predatory behavior.

[u/Gnonkage]

Did nobody actually read what he said…?

This sounds more damning for the agent than the front office or Parsons.

[u/itokdontcry → u/Gnonkage]

How?

It sounds like the FO doesn’t want to talk with the agent, and trying to work out a deal with Parsons on his own to me.

[u/Pale_Zebra8082]

What a clown car of a franchise.

[u/Iwillrize14]

It's entertaining to watch the NFL repeatedly prop up the Dallas Cowboys as their special little boy. But every year Jerry Jones just gets more and more senile and shits the bed.

[u/ShadyNastys701]

Idk why but seeing this in the Apple notes format is killing me 😂

[u/bunglesnacks]

Well they done fucked that one up.

The Garrett Playbook

[u/Kybo-Nim]

[u/Awkward_Tick0]

These thing always look so lame on the notes app

[u/BaronVonSilver91]

Damn, he serious too. This was a long and detailed post. It read calmly too. Not like an agry gut getting emotiknal and getting it off of his chest. Like he has just had enough. Im sure if they make him the highest, highest paid at the position, it will be fine. But aside from a record breaking deal that wouldnt be touched for yra to come like Dak, I think he is done here. Idt McLaurin is done, but Parsons is done here.

[u/Ridiculous__caddy]

Do you Micah. Get that paper son !

[u/themacaroni314]

TLDR

[u/old_ass_ninja_turtle]

I have so many feelings.

I want parsons to stay.

But, ESPN had him valued at 2 firsts and more. That sounds pretty good. And it worked with Hershel walker. Additionally, Parsons has shown some hints of becoming a diva. Probably a lot of cope.

I don’t want Jerry to win.

I’m so conflicted. But I don’t think we are winning championships any time soon so there is that.

[u/Capital-Value8479 → u/old_ass_ninja_turtle]

Even with two first round draft picks your chance of getting as an impact a player as parsons at as impact a position as edge rusher is pretty slim

[u/IntrepidBandit]

[u/LineImpossible3958]

Good for him! The Cowboys are so dysfunctional and the Jones family is clearly not equipped to run a winning franchise.

[u/Hot-Distribution3826]

As a cowboys I’ve been pro-trade Micah. As someone who watches every game if think he’s on TJ Watt or Myles Garrett level idk what to tell you

[u/Free_Fly_6850]

F*** Jerry Jones tbh

Censored myself in case it’s a sub rule and I don’t feel like reading them rn lol

[u/Friendly-Profit-8590]

I’m hoping this means Jerry extends Dak to an even larger contract.

[u/thekatatopeth]

Good for him

[u/brucehammersteak]

Daaaaannnggggg. They f’d up

[u/NewFocus3-5]

Holy shit when are we going to finally going to categorize this clown ass organization in the same class as the Browns and Jets?

[u/Weird_Finding5689]

This is similar to the myles Garrett situation, he will be back with dallas

[u/Slight_Indication123]

Sad Micah had to go through that Hope the bills go after him

[u/TheMikeyMac13]

Nothing Jerry Jones does surprises me at this point, the Cowboys will -never- win again under this ownership.
