Dating all the way back to Dez...
At least he had done something in the 2 to 3 years prior leading up to the over paid contract.
Everything thereafter seemed a very unwise and poor return on investment as was the case with Lawrence and Zeke.
The contract given to Jaylon Smith was some kinda charity event and more a look at me hope and prayer of Jerry trying to show that his NFL doctor team really was better than the rest of the draft experts on draft day but for ONCE, they saw the error of their ways and cut him.
Dak's contract was and is as laughable then, as it is now.
So,
Parsons has pretty much earned his payday thus far.
There is just no crystal ball to judge whether his motivation will remain the same once becoming paid.
That's another part of the risk and reward process of being GM but ultimately comes down to what motivates a player to be great. The love of money or the desire to be the best regardless of the money.
Unfortunately in Dallas, second contracts normally don't stand the pay as you play test of time too well.
Hopefully Parsons can be an exception though.
