Is this Micah breakup fixable?

[Doomsday]

What about the fracture that is coming in the locker room because Jerry and Stephen made stupid comments about their star player publicly and didn't get a deal done back in March?

This is how they help their new coach build a winning culture?

 

[Chasing6]

Don’t mean to throw another Micah post out there but does anyone think this can be fixed? Too much damage? Egos bruised?

I am trying to remember how these public spats typically go with superstars. My memory says it can’t be fixed.

Am I wrong?

Would $200M fix just about any problem you had???

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Jerry had zero leverage in all 3 negotiations.

This is different. Now he has all the leverage.

Jerry actually had ALL the leverage with Dak but he was too stupid to realize it. His leverage was - go play somewhere else as we'd be better off rebuilding and we can't start that process as long as we are paying you.

 

[Chuck 54]

Money talks, so does the first week of the season, at which time the player would be forfeiting around 1.3 million every week. And any holdout would be doing nothing for him. Cowboys won’t trade him any time soon.

 

[Flamma]

In my opinion this deal will get done. But this is why I called Jerry Jones a cockwomble. Look it up. It describes him perfectly.

Jerry refuses to allow his players/coaches to have a "quiet" training camp. You can't tell me this is not a distraction to a new coach or better attitude/team chemistry. Insanity......"doing something dumb over & over with the same results." No one wants to run through a brick wall for the "Snake".

Jerry loves to muddy the water.......our premier defensive player is just getting his turn on the continued contractual malpractices that the GM/Owner exhibits. And many on here will dismiss it to merely blame the players. SMH cause Jerry is simply counting money while the trophy room has 30-year dust on it.

How was he going to do that with Dak's no-trade and no-tag clause?

 

[Wangchung83]

What is their to fix? He is under contract and can be tagged twice.

If GM Jethro is afraid of Micah's body wearing down, then a year to year option is best.

Same for Dal business you can't keep any one like this and forget ever being competitive in FA.

 

[SinceDayOne]

Of course it is fixable. Parson's does not want to be playing this season under his current contract. He does not want to be playing next year on franchise tag money. His agent wants a big contract ASAP because the agent works on a percentage of Micah's salary. Stephen and Jerry jones do not want to lose a "generational talent" if their is any possible way to avoid it. Those players are really hard to come by. Fixable indeed.

But there is a chance that a trade could occur if they can find a trading partner willing to part with enough assets and pay Parsons the big contract he is asking. So, as a fan, all we can do is wait and see what happens. It is out of our hands. We are not in the loop to know what is going down day to day...hour by hour.

Jerry and his idiot son have monumentally screwed it up,if they even want to trade him now they wont get a good return,now they have soured the entire team against the FO for no reason -absolutely no reason to not even make a single freaking offer.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

I mean the leverage was you just let him walk rather than re-sign him. That's what a real football organization would have done.

 

[Wangchung83]

Micah does not need to be replaced by 1 player.

48 sacks a season, is 48 sacks a season. It does not matter who they come from.

Same can be said for QB, lance could run wildcat, pro and rush to do everything else. Dont think it'll work well but def just as good as replacing Micah with multiple players

 

[Cmac]

Will we ever have a moment like this again with Jerry and paid players?
I miiss the smiles.

Ok Billy Beane.

NO team is letting their top 15/10 starting QB walk w/o compensation, especially w/o a replacement on the team. Not happening at all..........

So a "real" organization would just let him leave via free agency, no trade or compensation.......

 

[Cmac]

Micah.....1 sack in 4 playoff games.
Advice: Negoitiate outside or away from the Court of Public Opinion.
Podcast talk will not help or posting letters for everyone to see about trade requests.
You will get paid,,,,,but go private. Clicks and Likes on Social Media will not serve well except for the Talking Heads.

Sure, just make him the highest paid non QB in the league. If he turns it down then you're at least on record for trying.

If the player has a no trade, and you've figured out he can't function in big moments, you have all the leverage if you make the smart decision - let him walk. Or bench him until he agrees to a trade. It doesn't matter. Move on. Or you can do what Jerry does - repeat the same thing over and over and expect a different result.

 

[starfan1]

We had no real options in those situations.

Trance to replace Dak?

Tolbert to replace CD?

Zeke was just stupid decision, after running him to the ground on his first contract.

Regarding Micah:

We added Fowler and resigned Williams and drafted back to back 2nd round DE's in Kneeland and EZ.

They are quickly falling in love with EZ.

Seems like they have some built in options here, that we did not have for CD or Dak.

You know I never viewed it like that but you’re not wrong. The thing is the fanbase is up in arms about this and rightfully so. This should have been done by now but Jerry can’t help himself but be in the news

Some of the same things that ticks off the fanbase about Dak can be applied to Micah as well. Late season disappearing act with him as well

I do think he is double teamed a lot and no one else has stepped up

I like Micah he’s my second favorite player but I also wouldn’t get mad at a Khalil Mack type haul for him as his presence don’t push us over the top and he’s a blowhard in the media

I also would like to see what he and Eze and Fowler can do together . My fear with the defense is who is gonna be that threat in the middle. Mazi ain’t it.

 

[Big D]

The day he signs is when they'll say they always wanted him as a cowboys player for life

And he'll say the same. He doesn't mind looking like a clown so it doesn't matter.
