So why do you think Dak has not responded? Because of money?
Yes, we know. Thanks
Knowing Jerry Jones is reluctant to sign them to current market value deals, and knowing they’re going to be expensive to sign, do you think that enhances their trade value or diminishes it? Other teams have real GMs. They are more shrewd than Jerry Jones. Knowing he won’t sign them makes him vulnerable to be taken advantage of in trade negotiations. Lamb would bring a late first. Parsons, at best, a second round pick. There could be the assumption that the Cowboys are most familiar with the two of them and obviously don’t think they’re worth paying. Because they don’t want to pay them. That’s not going to make any of the other 31 teams give them a high value.
If they do that, they should trade Lamb for a 1st and 3rd to the Jets. Just to annoy the Dolphins and Bills. Then trade Parsons to the Rams for 2 first rounders. Just to annoy the 49ers.
Parsons a 2nd round pick? Players with a 2nd round trade value do not have a market value of over 30M. Not a single one in the entire league.
Which is why Parsons has not been offered a $30 million per season extension from the Cowboys. They apparently know he’s not worth it. And they ought to know.
Cowboys don't give their first round picks an extension after 3 years. I can't remember the last time they did that.
Do you seriously believe the Cowboys count only get a second round pick at best? Misprint right?
If he was worth multiple picks and/or worth more than $30 million per season a team would have to assume there’s a reason the Cowboys want to trade him and/or don’t think he’s worth $30 million per season. And the Cowboys should know what he’s worth. Wanting to trade a player because you don’t think he’s worth what he wants should, and will, give a team pause if they have an interest in acquiring him. Didn’t the Eagles unload their top edge rusher, a very effective one, for a 3rd when he indicated he wanted $28 million? These guys are not worth as much as they think. Apparently Micah isn’t worth $30 million to the Cowboys. He’s eligible for an extension now. Now would be the time to sign him. The extension would not become effective until his current deal is over after the 2025 season. Yet the Cowboys don’t extend him. It’s not going to get less expensive. And you think some team is going to give up important draft assets to acquire a guy his own team isn’t signing? A 2nd at best.
I respect your opinion but he’d easily get a 1st round pick and probably a 2nd or 3rd as well.
No. I believe I've seen that same opinion from him at a different time. Parsons is going to get 30M+ a year. If not by us, then by someone else. That's not second round trade value.
It’s bizarre some of the things you read here.
I think he gets two first round picks. He wouldn't even be a household name if he was a 2nd round talent. The guy from the Eagles is 30 years old. Besides, the Cowboys don't give their first round picks extensions after 3 years. I don't know why. The last time was Zeke, but he held out for it.
More than ever 1st round draft picks are necessary to acquire decent talent with a modicum of cost control. It can give a team the option of keeping a player they otherwise may not be able to afford. The escalating cost of top players, particularly quarterbacks, make 1st round picks even more critical. As of now no team has traded a first round pick in any upcoming draft. Very few 2nd rounders have been traded. Only two in 2025. Giving up the benefit of cost control to acquire a player that will immediately have to be signed to a “market setting” or even just “market appropriate“ contract works against the acquiring team in two ways. You see the contending teams are all having to make decisions on who they can retain and who they can’t. The cap means you can’t pay everybody. So you depend on the portion of your roster that are on rookie deals. The Cowboys philosophy of “we can’t pay anybody” is just poor management. The Cowboys recent success is an example of players on rookie deals making significant contribution. They draft well. Now it’s time to pay the stars or make the difficult decision to move them. The bad parts is that now, because quarterback and wide receivers are demanding and getting unprecedented compensation, edge rushers are seeking same, some getting it, early draft picks are more valuable than ever. I don’t see a team willing, and most even able, to part with a first for Parsons or anyone else. The value of first round picks, and even 2nds now, is the part of the fallout from the salary cap that isn’t talked about. Those picks are the counter balance to the massive contracts teams are having to pay to two or three of their top players. A 2nd, at best.
Yeah there are 31 teams that would be willing to give the Cowboys a 2nd round pick for Parsons. I think he would net you two first round picks pretty easy.
Not anymore.
Thats completely false.
If he was traded for just a first, the outrage in here would be almost uncontrol able and the Cowboys would be the butt end of jokes no only in the league but across the country.
