Yeah, 100%\u201d Parsons said when asked if he would take pay cut for the Cowboys to acquire Garrett. \u201cWill he take less too?\u2026 We would definitely have to make that happen. \u2026 As long as he [Jerry Jones] let me be a little higher [paid] than him [Garrett]. \u2026 I\u2019m younger. \u2026 He [Garrett] want to be with us too. \u2026 I do alright [off the field as a Cowboy]. I do [want to win].\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Garrett was born and raised in Arlington, Texas \u2014 the city where Dallas\u2019 AT&amp;T Stadium is located \u2014 and grew up a Cowboys fan.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to going first overall to Cleveland in 2017 out of Texas A&amp;M, he begged the Cowboys to trade quarterback\u00a0Tony Romo\u00a0and draft picks to the Browns in order for his hometown team to move up from the 28th overall pick to the first overall selection. Garrett said at the time, \u201cI would love to play in Dallas.
