During training camp, fans were yelling \u201cPay Micah\u201d at Jerry Jones, but he didn&#8217;t seem to be bothered by the chants.<\/p>\n<p>Days later, COO Stephen Jones spoke about the fans chanting for them to pay Parsons, and basically dismissed their frustration, and then seemed to take a slight dig at Parsons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t change anything,\u201d Jones said. \u201cWe want to pay Micah too. He\u2019s gotta want to be paid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones was recently asked about his comments about Parsons, and let&#8217;s just say he&#8217;s staying quiet this time around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[laughter]\u2026 I think I&#8217;ve said all I&#8217;m going to say for now on Micah,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n<p>Both Jerry and Stephen have had their fair share of words about Parsons and the contract negotiations. Nonetheless, Parsons has decided not to hold out and participate in training camp with his teammates. It&#8217;s not certain what the holdup could be with negotiations, but Jerry has a track record of drawing out these types of things. He did it last season with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, so there&#8217;s no surprise he&#8217;s doing it again.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cowboys and Micah Parsons still negotiating\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Cowboys and Parsons have been trying to get a contract extension done for some time now, and it doesn&#8217;t sound like things have progressed as much, according to ESPN&#8217;s Adam Schefter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say right now we\u2019re nowhere on that deal,\u201d Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show. \u201cI would say right now we\u2019re further away from a deal in late July, early August than we were in late March, early April. The two sides have gone backwards, not forward. I don\u2019t think they\u2019re speaking very much these days, if at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parsons is one of the top edge rushers in the league, and he&#8217;s going to want to get paid like it, similar to Maxx Crosby, T.J. Watt, and Myles Garrett. If he can get around that same ballpark, he may be satisfied, but there&#8217;s a feeling they could be lowballing him. He has the stats to prove he deserves the money, and he&#8217;s been the best player on the Cowboys&#8217; defense for some time.<\/p>\n<p>The hope now is that the Cowboys and Parsons can come together and get something done before the season.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen Jones seems to be done talking about Micah Parsons afer his controversial comments about his contract negotiations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":72478,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[54,118,9,2702],"class_list":["post-72477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-dallas-cowboys","tag-micah-parsons","tag-nfl","tag-stephen-jones"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
