Jerry on the Parsons contract

Yeah I think this is the much larger factor here...He probably has to fork over a lot more than $70M for Parsons this year too. Revenue sharing checks typically dont get to teams until Mid summer and I bet he would much rather pay Micah out of that money than dip into some of his investments. Added bonus is he gets the media talking about the Cowboys yet again.
I really hate saying it but it’s gotten to where the larger part of me doesn’t doesn’t mind watching these two run this into to ground, which is where it’s absolutely headed.

There’s just no way they can draft and develop faster than talent walks out the door.

The refuse to recognize that there are windows under which to win, and you’ve gotta take advantage when they’re because the system is set up to penalize regular season success. Hence the last two drafts being not so great. They had their shot and blew it, and don’t even know it.
 


I am.......not shocked but....... frustrated. Don't want to say much more about this at this time.

I don’t know about the rest of you guys but this is sound financial advice. Why pay for something at market value when you can wait until the item is a collectible and then pay collectible prices.

I’m looking to move soon and the housing market is good where I’m at. I think I’ll wait until the market flips then look for a house. Yeah, that’s sound thinking. End sarcasm
 
Actually I heard the whole thing on the radio.

he's saying he's offered him a couple contracts that were very fair and said the agent now get in the middle of Parsons word,

you remember the word where he said he didn't need to be the highest paid non quarterback?!!!!!!:facepalm::angry:

you remember that? you remember those words???


I'm betting he was offered between 39.5 and $40 million a year and rejected it..

. the agents holding this up I knew it was the agent holding it up but hey Bob and art and everybody on here keep saying it's Jerry,

him trying to get it right, meaning negotiating,

trying to find a compromise, not paying Max value and resetting the market, but in the end, he's saying if it ends up being that way that he'll end up paying it..

but he's trying to get the best deal possible you all can read what you want into it but I heard what he said, and you could twist it up because Jerry doesn't know how to be concise, but I do
Parsons lied or his agent backtracked,

either way they're trying to get more money than the last contract signed by skilled players he said he wasn't gonna do it that's what he said he didn't need to be the highest paid non quarterback but he lied where is the agent made him backtrack either way it's the agent in persons holding up these negotiations period end of story..

So all those saying Jerry's been waiting not getting this done fast enough contracts have been offered I heard it on the radio the latest deal that I heard they're going over with the agent right now is him getting close to the last player got I don't know what it is was it jamar chase that kind of money is coming down that means Parsons and his agent lied they've been holding this up the whole time think what you want hate who you wan....y this is on the agent and the player.. Degree just settles in just like usual you said the right thing but you did the opposite.
Well none of us KNOW what is going on with the contract, and jerry lies, so you cant believe him.
It could be somethings that have nothing to do with the total $ aspect.
Jerry just may delay it because he wants to, it keeps the anxiety of fans and media at a high level.
He likes to do that.
But no one knows or will know but the ones involved.

Jerry says he wants to get it right lol, but who knows what that means??
 
What do you mean it's already here? The cap has nothing to do with cash on hand, it's just the accounting aspect of things.
Well you might want to research it a little lol.
Right now fish says they have 33 million in cap $,and they cant add any money to that or to help pay parsons , except to restructure other contracts.
They cant add league rev $ to it. Or $ from any other source.
 
I think he actually WANTS to give out the biggest contract. To me he seemed proud of overpaying Prescott.

Another thing for people to talk about. Not sure how much longer the lack of results on the field they can get away with, but it doesn’t seem as if maximizing cap space is anywhere near as important as the attention he will get over dragging it out. For him it’s well worth the cost. For us, not so much, but again…they weren’t investing the savings in the team anyway.
This is exactly what I think is the backdrop to his marketing.
For the casual fan viewing all the local endorsements, commercials and jerseys surrounding the select few stars, Jerry basks in the glory and sale of "The Over Pay."

Publicity is publicity good or bad.
And to the casual fan you gotta believe that "Well, if Jerry paid that guy that much he must be worth it." And better yet, worth watching.This is the mindset that casual fans would believe.

This is the MOST frustrating part.

We have 29 years of evidence that Jerry and Stephen's way does not work, and they still think they are smarter than anyone else.

What a happy little bubble they live in. Too bad Cowboys fans aren't allowed inside of it.

Jerry says he wants to get it right lol, but who knows what that means??
That could be true I'm not I can't argue with that 'cause we don't know I know this he doesn't want to pay more he's a businessman it's worth $15 billion they don't get that kind of money by making bad deals by purposely paying more here's a low addition to this I imagine this guy and I'm not saying this applies to him but I bet if you ask Jerry three times the same question morning noon and after 6:00 PM he'll have three different answers and none of them will match I don't think he lies I think he has that early onset fog I don't wanna call it dementia because it may not be that serious yet but sometimes he gets put on the spot to answer a question and he rambles on and probably forgets what he's talking about as far as making sense out of all of it...

I don't believe he doesn't know the agent's name I think he just took a shot at him I believe he thinks he has a really good relationship with his players and they probably have touched on hey Micah come into my office what what do you want what exactly is your goal here with the team where's your head money wise let's find some number to start with there talked a couple of times without the agent doesn't mean the deal is gonna be done without the agent they're just trying to figure out maybe if Parsons wants to be traded anybody thought about that?

I know there's rumors going around that that could be a possibility on draft day if the deal still not closed.. I mean if they're too far apart and that's what he's finding out with these first couple of visits with Parsons by himself ask him if the number is large too large like where is his head money wise language wise guarantees and if they don't think they can get on the same page maybe they already talked about possibility of going somewhere else and where would you like to go that is why we do not know anything that's going on up there in northern will they tell us anything that they don't want us to know...

I don't believe Jerry is purposely making fans have anxiety the guy signed he signed everybody who's been up for contracts that are considered homegrown drafted superstars fan favorites they've all been signed what anxiety can you possibly have you know Parsons is under contract right fifth year guys making $21 million this year regardless so he's not going anywhere he could be franchise tagged twice and even if he threatens to hold out then there's a trade possibility anyway you're gonna get a lot for him. So again what anxiety would you have the band's gonna be on the team playing and that's all we really know for sure and the fact is I have not seen a situation where the player didn't get paid so again why would you anxiety level or expectations be up like you're waiting on the edge of your seat the man is under contract this year so is lamb the only person who's not been under contract the threat of it was Prescott there was no trade unless he approved it there was no franchise tag he had all the leverage... And even that deal got done.

So I'm not really worried about it I'm not sitting on the edge of my seat if he wants to play hardball and he gets traded out of here which would be a total shock we're gonna get a whole lot of value for him so I'm not worried at all he's either playing for us or we're gonna find another version of him in the draft I wish the draft was sooner so we could get this all figured out...
 
God I can't stand Jerry and Stephen. They are incompetent, the rest of the world knows it, and yet they steadfastly believe that they know best and will refuse to face reality until they die.

It's the same damn playbook for every contract. Do nothing. Badmouth the player in public and through the press. Wait too long. Do nothing for the rest of the team. Get bent over backwards by the player and his agent in the contract because you waited too long and are now desperate. Blame the player for the increased cost. And then do nothing.

Round and round and round
 
Hahahahaha. This bag of dirt says the same thing every year.

And saying you'll pay more to get it right is such a god awful stupid comment.

This franchise is doomed under this family. It's over. Last person turn off the lights on the way out. We are speeding into Cleveland Browns land.

At least the Browns can admit when they're wrong.

Lol, exactly! It's bound to go up in value as it gets older.

They cant add league rev $ to it. Or $ from any other source.
I may be misunderstanding what you're saying here and if so I apologize, but the way it reads sounds incorrect.

$33M in cap money doesn't mean that they can only spend $33M the rest of this year. For example they'll probably have to pay Micah Parsons around $100M this year once he signs an extension, but will actually gain cap space once they do. $33M in cap space is a ton of available money and not limiting at all.

My original point was simply that even a billionaire typically doesn't have $100+M in cash just sitting around to pay a guy like Parsons and typically they have to sell off some of their assets to raise the funds unless the team has that big of a fund set aside already. The exception to this is when the league distributes the TV contract money which is sometime mid summer. My suspicion is that this is why Jerry typically likes to wait on these mega deals. This TV revenue sharing is typically how the league calculates the cap number each year. I'd just be careful about confusing cash spending with cap spending as they are two very different things.
 
Micah will eventually be sitting at the Dak and CD contracts table to eat dinner.

Then Jerry can bask in the glory of having 3 players being paid at that level and the attention that brings.
And ultimately, win absolutely nothing.

These are your Dallas Cowboys.

Seems Jerry Jones and Voldemort from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone have a similar view. To them, there is no right or wrong, but only power.
 
No he didn't he said it like a month ago literally when this offseason started and free agency was in progress let's not try to stick up for a player I don't care if you hope that he gets everything he should I'm saying Jerry's not holding this up because Jerry offered him a couple that were fair top five money should be all these players expect I like the guy he is a top five pass rusher in this league but he's not the best since when has he led the league in sacks let me know his big moment games in the playoffs like you said above he should be the best if he wants to be paid the best he's not impacting the games that much to be demanding to reset the market to the highest paid skill player in the league that's the new narrative that I don't like I'm sorry yes get all you can but also be fair... In my opinion his range was always gonna be between 36 and 40 million but now it looks like even though he said he'd be happy taking around 40 it might end up being 42,000,000 and he's the one and his agent holding this process up and yet everybody on here says Jerry's not getting it done fast enough and it's also a false narrative that he would have took less money at the end of last year you don't know that you're not his agent you're not in the NFL pool of agents you don't represent Micah Parsons in these greedy players they know the market just like Wall Street knows the market they're not gonna settle for less if they think all they have to do is wait three months and they can get four more million a year why would you not wait you're telling me they've been happy taking it early for what what good reason they have not to wait and push it as far as they can they get as much as they can because they know other players are gonna keep signing they will do this on purpose why would Jerry wanna pay more money explain to me why he would drag this out on purpose you can't explain it's rhetorical nobody wants to pay more in the end he might have to pay more because the player and agent would not play ball early that's a fact that I don't need proof because they would've got the deal done already had they took $39 million which is all they really should ask for is a 39.5 isn't that lamb's contract you try to tell me that Parsons is more important to this team than lamb?
Nevermind… forgot who I was responding to :oops:
 
Nobody has mentioned the comment that bugged me the most. Jerry said:

“No one has shown me the answer on how to get to the Super Bowl”.

I would get fired as a reporter because my next question would have been “but based on 30 years of futility, shouldn’t you know what not to do to make it to even a conference championship”?
 
What more you want to see you bone head? This team is popular because of the Landry era and then Jimmy coming in and winning with that squad of personalities he built… that has carried over….this guy thinks it’s always been about him.
