Parsons: I don't have to be the highest paid

[AstroPilota]

A page out of Tom Brady's book.

I bet Tom received some fairly nice Christmas gifts from Mr. Kraft.

I don’t know why people care how much players get paid or don’t get paid.

If you really don't know, then you don’t understand how it affects building a contending team. It's not personal.

You know Micah is lying, right?

Dak said he didn't play for the money also then a week later started his "for the QB brotherhood" junk.

True, but Dak also swore up and down 100x he is in the best shape of his life, and there were no remnant injury concers from when he lost his foot. I take Micah for his word, and his emotions on and off the field show he actually wants to win. As for our QB? Well, he's bullding a house, was caught wearing a boot on his paw claming to be healthy and telling anybody who sticks in front of his mug that he's in the best shape of his life

Meanwhile, his agent is rolling his eyes and thinking “yeah, it’s not going to go that way”

 

[McKDaddy]

You'd think a franchise QB would have this mindset, but nope. Kudos to Parsons for putting it out there. I'm sure his agent is furious.

Well in fairness, I think The Mistake said the same thing early in the process. That was before he consulted The Brotherhood though.

Okay Jerry. Go and sign him NOW before he changes his mind!!

 

[big dog cowboy]

Just wait until he signs and then let's see what he says.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Okay Jerry. Go and sign him NOW before he changes his mind!!

They should!

 

[mcmvp]

They should!

Seriously…Jerry should call his agent now and say 5 years, $100 mil…$90 mil guaranteed and see what happens

 

[Tabascocat]

I kind of believe him, he doesn’t have Scott Boras as an agent

 

[shabazz]

Well, if Jerry is stupid enough to pay it

That's the man that bears the most responsibility for it.....the idiot that approved it

 

[ICP]

Well, if Jerry is stupid enough to pay it

Jerry is always stupid enough to pay it except when it comes to splitting hairs over a million or so with free agents

Our owner likes to give the fans the gift instead, an early exit from the playoffs

 

[Typhus]

Well, there is a champion, not like a Dak.
How unusual would that be.

 

[Brooksey]

Micah will be the highest paid defensive player ever when the time comes.

Bookmark this.

He's maturing faster then Dak Prescott, in fact I can't believe what I'm hearing from Parsons in the last month.

Why not.......he has zero, nothing to gain from sharing it with millions of people. Why would he lie........if this was any other player, fans would bow down. He's smart......he realizes true long-term value comes from championships/rings, not money. I think he said last week he didn't see much difference from $30-40M and some went on about how $10M is a lot of money and it is but that's not what he was saying. He was saying, that either way, he's going to have enough money for a lifetime.

Bosa is now the highest paid at $34M. So based on what he's saying his ceiling $32-33M.......that's $7M less than the $40M we've been throwing around. So at a min....his statement kills that rumor.

 

[charron]

Even if he isn't the highest paid, that doesn't guarantee jerry will spend the money adding to the team wisely.

He's lying to you.

He will be the highest paid defensive player ever.

MountaineerCowboy told ya so.

 

[CTcowboy203]

Highest paid is key….as in annual salary. You better believe the guarantee he gets will make up for it.

 

[OGSixshooter]

If only the QB felt this way.

But he's too busy being a leader and getting every penny he can for the players union's sake.

What a complete fraud.

...for the brotherhood...ya know...
