Micah expected to ask for $200 million

Why would his agents not ask for $200 million? Nick Bosa got a five-year, $170 million deal two years ago, with a $50 million signing bonus. They wouldn't be doing their jobs if they didn't seek an increase over that.

Hopefully, Micah's can be structured similarly, with two void years at the end of essentially a six-year deal. Bosa's base his first three years was under $2 million each year while his fourth-year base jumps to $22 million (with the team able to restructure in 2026 if he's still playing at a high level).

Just get the deal done!!

This is the Cowboys. Don't be surprised if it isn't done until camp. The Joneses get in no big hurry to reach a megadeal until there is some kind of deadline pressure. They don't need the money for free agency, so there's no pressure.

Jerry needs summer drama. It will be dragged out until the end of TC.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Just get the deal done!!

What's the rush, Jerry will get right on it around September 1st, need the media to talk about something at Training camp

Is Micah in Nick Bosa’s category? I don’t think so.

No way in hell!! It's the market and the brotherhood that says otherwise!!!!!!!

 

[jay94]

So he's a hypocrite just like Dak enjoy sub 500 this year.

 

[exciter]

Hasn’t that always been a given?

 

[CATCH17]

Gonna be fun watching Dak, Micah, and Lamb getting their faces pummeled in.

So glad we paid them though.

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed,
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed.
And then one day he was shooting at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubbling crude.

Oil, that is. Black gold. Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there!"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be!"
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Bever-lee.

Hills, that is. Swimming pools. Movie stars.

Money over success.
Trade please.

If an agent didn't ask for the most for his client, how long do you think he would stay in business for?

"Hey, I'm going to tell you to sign the teams first offer, trust me it's good. Think of the other guys they can pay more now". Just ignore that the team is sitting on 40mil of cap space and didn't sign anyone outside of a few guys over 1 year deals.

Maybe Micah won't be making his agent not relent on any request, but people freaking out over 5 mil aav on these huge deals are just looking to complain.

The cap is going up every year by huge increments. Contracts can be restructured to free up current year cap space. Micah at 35 or 40mil makes no difference to teams, especially in 3 years if the cap goes up 50-70 mil in that time frame. The key items to worry about over total is the guarantees and how it's structured.
Owners are making millions to hundred of millions per year. I'm not going to vilify Parsons asking for the max he can when the FO is too lazy to build a contender.

Posters were wonder how Diggs got 23mil a year until it came out only 37% of his contract was guaranteed.

 

[ATXSRT]

He can ask for that, I doubt he gets it. I think he gets right under what Nick Bosa got. I don't think he resets the market. But this is the Cowboys so....

 

[DasTex]

$30 million is the same as $40 million....right Micah?

 

[Bullflop]

Really sick and tired of hearing about Micah and his contractual desires. One day, he's willing to settle for less than the max amount and the next day, he's chomping at the bit to make the max. This guy needs to have his head examined. Can't wait for the day when he quits shooting off his mouth.
