Perhaps the Jones should stop playing Russian roulette with stupidity (and losing) and sign their star players to extensions?

As opposed to this blame game where they don't have to try to improve the roster.

Posted above^, crazy thing is it's not even the thread I was talking about. I was speaking about the decade of doom and gloom you forecasted after Dak is gone.

I guess you've quit a few times. All good brother.
Since you lie so much, goodbye.

Come on, dude, you said it now live up to it. Yeah, you might have been drunk but once it's out there, it's out there for all to see. But, glad you did not actually quit, but you said it.
I did not. Quit trying to bait me.

“So I'll be going on vacation for a long time maybe forever. Need to cleanse the soul.”

Taking a vacation is not quitting. Now everyone who said I quit please apologize.

This is a joke right?
No joke, you think there are teams lining up to trade a boatload of draft capital for Parsons? You don’t think putting a young talented player on the trading block doesn’t raise any red flags?

What’s the reason he isn’t there?

Is this a voluntary deal?
The reason is that he's technically eligible for a contract extension after 3 years. ALL of the rookie draft picks get 4 year contracts. Only 1st round picks have a 5th year option that can be unilaterally exercised by the team. But the base contract is 3 years. Undrafted players get 3 year contracts. Teams are not required to, but they may extend contracts when the player has less than a year remaining on their rookie contracts. So, after 3 seasons, Micah is eligible.

Micah's absence is likely due to the advice of his agent. His agent doesn't want him to risk an injury in voluntary team practices that might impair his ability to get a contract extension. Thus, Micah is absent. It isn't ideal for the team. But since Micah has ARLEADY established himself among the top players in the league, risking an injury in a voluntary OTA just isn't worth it. It doesn't mean he'll skip mandatory mini-camp or mandatory training camp.

Not kidding at all, if you were gm what would you be willing to trade to take Parsons?
Would the fact that he’s looking for a new contract impact what you would be willing to give up?
Would his playoff performances to date concern you ?
Would the questions about his priorities concern you, what he most interested in football or his brand?

If the Cowboys put Parsons on the trade block they'd have multiple offers for two 1st round picks and probably more within hours.

I think that’s too steep a price for a player that’s not a quarterback but if that’s indeed the market the Cowboys be crazy not to grab it.
