I can't believe some people have now convinced themselves that the back injury is real.

It's comical

I don’t think any of us are pro Jerry....but some are so anti-Jerry they'll talk themselves into anything

Could we see a situation where Mazi is on the roster, but week to week he's evaluated and maybe not called up to play in a game??? Based on how he played in the previous game or based on the matchup, someone else starting may be what they want. Please give me your thoughts on this

On Reddy Steward: Aggressive playstyle

Reddy Steward nearly made the Vikings’ roster and was a player they likely wanted to make the practice squad. He was an aggressive player on the outside and always seemed to be around the ball. His PBU on fourth down against the Tennessee Titans in the final preseason game really stood out as a positive play that could propel him to the 53-man roster. He can play multiple spots on the backend, and will be a solid special teams contributor. – Tyler Forness
On Trikweze Bridges: Unbelievable length

Bridges is a really intriguing player. Why’s that? His length is unbelievable, and it doesn’t shock me that the Cowboys valued adding a cornerback with his size. Bridges looms at 6’2 with 33-inch arms. There were highs and lows from the young defender in camp, but he did show off his ball skills with multiple interceptions. Bridges struggled in the preseason at times against downfield routes and against top-end speed. A position swap to safety could be in his future at some point, but Dallas clearly liked the tools he possesses enough to scoop him up. It’ll be interesting to see if they find a spot on him somewhere on their depth chart now to begin the season. – Adam Holt

No one is forcing them to play a game to make millions of dollars. They agreed to a contract set by the owners and CBA for their rookie years, just like they agreed to the same contract that stipulates how the franchise tag can be used and the amount of money they will receive playing under it.

Just because they personally didn’t like it doesn’t mean they didn’t agree to it and shouldn’t be expected to uphold it.

You did read my post, right? No rookie agreed to anything in the CBA. They agreed to terms that allows them to play. Terms put in place by others. They agreed to them none the less. It's the 2nd contract that is truly a mutual agreement.

Erik Williams v Reggie White in 1992…
He hit him so often and so hard, White ended up in Green Bay

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Parsons' contract isn't handicapping the team. The Cowboys front office are just one of the worst at maximizing the cap. That will be true whether Parsons gets paid or not.

I guarantee you that a Micah contract will destroy this roster and the fallout from those 4 contracts I mentioned will be felt for a decade.

You think they do the bare minimum now? You ain’t seen nothing yet.

More?

I say it’s about equal……

He has a philosophy?

Yes its throw darts at issues and see what sticks. Very successful lol

I’m just curious why there seems to be so much more animosity towards Micah than there was zeke. I’m sure some of you weren’t happy with zeke’s holdout, myself included, but he also took his big whiny head and flew off to Cabo and didn’t return until he became the all time highest paid rusher which was just in time for the first regular season game. He wasn’t even at camp or pre season games.

On top of that, he came with a lot more headaches than Parsons AND he held out with TWO years left on his rookie contract which I don’t recall ever being done by any player. He also played a much less premium position but IIRC there was much more support for him than Micah and “pay the man” statements.

Personally I’m not happy with any of them, including Jerry, but if I had to pick one I’d would be supporting Micah much more than zeke. So what gives?

For me it is totally different. When Zeke held out I was still infatuated by the Cowboys now I just wAnt to watch it burn . . So now I am team Micah

 

[Flamma]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Jerry would be content just using up three years of Micah’s prime and then taking a comp pick after making a qualifying offer.

He’s mad now.

You mean mad, not angry, right? Even though I can understand his side to a point. But you can't let it hurt the team. That's what's happening. Even if he gets Micah signed, he's not going to be game ready. So damage is done. If he's not signed, there will be a morale hit.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yep Newman's hit on I believe Roddy White. Trap coverage and White never saw Newman until he got blasted.

Damn I remember that…..

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Roy Williams' hit on Emmitt when he was a Cardinal... broke Emmitt, something we hadn't really seen when he was in Dallas.

Yeah he made him feel that diamond surrounded by trash comment.

 

[Flamma]

LOL..fair enough. I still say he's in love with is own image and it paralyzes his ability to be empathetic and express humility and modesty.

Agreed. He is everything you said, except I do believe he shows empathy and emotion. That's why I went with the alternative.

Good points but I feel like Zeke was more likeable. Probably all it is.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

This is one of my favorites .... from the offense dishing it out.

Underrated Cowboy. When he was healthy very good back. Glad he sucked for Philly but came back to life with the Titans.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Say what!?

Would take me all day to explain to you that NOBODY else should be the focus, the offense should go through those weapons, and when it doesn't we're going to make headlines again on how these players are mad etc

 

[superonyx]

Parsons needs to be careful with how he handles this.
As fans we typically want to keep our great players. However the rules are what they are and he isn't above them. There is a fifth year option and franchise tags. These mean he and other players don't have total leverage the way they want. If he doesn't like the deal Jerry offered his option is to play out the contract and leave. I can understand his position but if he starts to, and he is, make himself and his money above the team then the team needs to move him out of here.

Is 14 sacks worth 45m per year when 10m can get you 11 sacks?

I want him here but if he is going to be a PITA and act like a baby because he doesn't like the rules then he can go.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

I’m no gambling man but if I was, Ben Johnson with da Bears would be my pick. I think they will get into the playoffs and maybe even win a game or two. Dan Quinn my second choice.

Both got great young QBs to lead the way.

Don't go to a pub in England and lay down a quarter at the dart board.
