He argued that because Jerry Jones doesn\u2019t want to get Parsons\u2019 agent involved, it\u2019s tough to justify the decisions he\u2019s made.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Dallas Cowboys are going through a tough situation with Micah Parsons, but it\u2019s fair to say Jerry Jones brought this on himself. Parsons wanted his agent involved during contract negotiations, but Jones reportedly preferred to work out the deal directly between the two of them,\u201d\u00a0he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Cooks in later added the report from Jordan Schultz, who noted that the situation is \u201claughable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe fact that Jerry Jones and the Cowboys believe they can negotiate a 9-figure extension with Micah Parsons without involving his agent says everything about the current state of the franchise. This entire situation is laughable from the Dallas side. It could\u2019ve \u2014 and should\u2019ve \u2014 been avoided. But instead, the Cowboys operated with pure arrogance, foolishness and stubbornness,\u201d\u00a0Schultz wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Cowboys are in a challenging situation<\/h2>\n<p>With all that in mind, the Dallas Cowboys are in a situation that no other team in the NFL wants to deal with.<\/p>\n<p>Not only could they have to get rid of a star player, but it could also change the trajectory of their franchise. Despite that, Bleacher Report\u2019s Kristopher Knox doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s the worst idea to move on from him.<\/p>\n<p>Knox noted that while they have a history of waiting to make the right decisions, if Parsons is prepared to leave, they should try to see what they could get. The Cowboys could be looking at two first-round picks, at least, with Knox also noting that it could help them save money as they\u2019d be paying three players more than $130 million per year.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDallas has a recent history of waiting until the last minute to reach contract agreements. This led to massive deals for wideout CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott\u2014who now makes $5 million more per year than any other player. Parsons is now set to top the $41 million annually that T.J. Watt will make on his new deal.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Parsons is prepared to leave, the Cowboys should see what they can get in return. They\u2019re unlikely to be serious Super Bowl contenders within the next few seasons, and paying more than $130 million per year for three players would be hard to justify if they aren\u2019t. Trading Parsons would likely bring back a pair of first-round picks and more. The Cowboys owe it to themselves to see just how high his price tag might go,\u201d Knox noted.<\/p>\n<h2>Will Jerry Jones extend Micah Parsons?<\/h2>\n<p>It isn\u2019t an easy decision for the Dallas Cowboys, but at the end of the day, the goal should be for them to win football games.<\/p>\n<p>Jones has been in the spotlight for many of the wrong reasons over the past few years regarding what he\u2019s done with the organization, and this is just another moment where he continues to fail at doing what he needs to do.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys are expected to win, but not having Parsons doesn\u2019t help their chances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having players who don\u2019t want to play for a team is never ideal in a professional sport, and it\u2019s the situation that the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0find themselves in.\u00a0Micah Parsons,&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":75317,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
