Mike Tannenbaum rips Cowboys on Micah negotiations

[Risen Star]

Keep in mind Micah asked weeks ago to get his deal done before free agency.

They just don't care. There is no accountability.

We all knew this would drag out.
Why would anyone expect anything different?

They should just trade him at this point.

You can't expect to even accidentally contend with the highest paid player ever (Dak), the 2nd highest paid WR ever (Lamb), and the highest paid non QB ever (Parsons).

Then you add Diggs's stupid contract in there and we're basically 4 players and a bunch of jags.

 

[Coogiguy03]

RISEN WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? They had to find out what the HIGHEST price was going to be, and we go from there!!! It's our job to not want to spend money, but it's our dream to pay our guys the top dollar!

Throw them a few of your one liners! Mountain can pitch in a couple of Dak sucks thread and coog can ask them for their thoughts. That'll teach em.

Yeah it's silly to drag it out thinking you're gaining leverage by waiting. I get that there are probably other internal conversations you're having with guys that aren't under contract but they're trying to save pennies while waiting and those pennies turn into dollars.

 

[MarcusRock]

"By waiting a year...."

Isn't this the first year we could extend him?

 

[Coogiguy03]

FANS we have to stop getting mad, we didn't do the deal early, ok we lose out on 3-5 million dollars, it's not like we're losing out on 10 million dollars!

We waited, the market was at 35.5, now it's at 40 million, that's 4.5 million, how bad is 4.5 million really going to hurt us???

 

[baltcowboy]

Salary cap is a myth. The Eagles and Cleveland keep proving that year after year. While the Joneses continue to bring in billions of profits each season.

We are so lucky to have Jerry and Stephen
Other teams can but dream of this streamlined FO

Are they trying to gain leverage, or do they just think rushing won't change anything? Or are they waiting until the draft, to see if they can replace him?...That would be really stupid.

 

[noshame]

Good, trade Parsons
It guarantees us a top QB in the 2026 draft.
WHICH WE WILL NEED.

No they could have last year. But its rare for a top level talent to being to negotiate after year 3

 

[slick325]

The Jones boys do like to drag their feet.

Is there any other upper level Edge/DE that is up for an extension? If so, if he falls in ahead of Crosby and right below Garrett, the deal for Micah will end up being over $40MM.

Wow , Ol Jerry and Son are back again same ole stuff different year.Waiting too long to act is this teams downfall over and over again.Parsons saying he does not have to be the highest paid and we still drag our feet.Parsons wants a championship , Ol Jerry and Son better get on the ball for once and make a sound decision for this football team.

 

[Dools29]

Jerry’s money is leveraged 7 or 8 times probably so the personal cash flow is worth more to him than a healthy cap.

Yet.

Guys like @rambo2 will sit here and defend them to no end.

Now Micah is going to cost this team all that money they freed up.

Awesome job by the front office lol.

Nick Bolton who I was assured by Rambo and Fish would sign in Dallas re signed with his teams.

Just bury your head in the sand. You’re wrong, you’ve been wrong, and you will continue to be wrong and act right.

I think we had hope it would go differently after Osa was signed fairly quickly.
