Complicated for sure. Parsons is a game changer. He basically fixed what was a historically bad defense overnight. I am sure we will pay him out. I just hope that he can continue to play at this level for the life of his contract and that we can find enough low cost talent to fill out the roster around him and win.
They all do that when they are trying to get the first big contract. What should worry every Cowboys fan is whether or not he will continue competing at that level after he gets paid. Zeke regressed and Dak made numerous empty promises that he hasn't come close to fulfilling. Jerry is going to massively overpay Parsons and cripple the team even further, we all know that day is coming.
He'll be fine. Once he gets paid he will slack off and preserve whatever is left in the tank.
The view that some have that there's no CAP Hell, because you can always restructure money.
The thing is you have 1 year left to decide. He will hold out after next year as he should. Honestly not even sure why he would show up for this year. He is getting paid about 25 million less than he should right now.
That's the concern........not a time to be giving him a record-setting contract. Kinda like you pay him on the front end or back end........
Or you let someone else pay him for you and give you two first round draft picks for the privilege.
I’ve already seen fans on this board that want to trade him because they don’t want to pay anyone. Parsons, Diggs and CeeDee would be gone when they’re up for their contracts if it was up to some Cowboys fans.
it's not abstract. everyone understands it. it falls on deaf ears because people disagree especially when it come to a player like parsons. if you're accepting reality, then you also accept that teams adhere to market circumstances and work around unavoidable mega deals rather than avoid them with elite players.
if that tweet was proof that he was only in it for the money, we'd see him working to become a qb lol. that's silly. i have no clue what the future holds, but micah seems to have an extreme competitive nature. money is coming regardless, legacy will not.
You're absolutely right. This is not a plyer you want to mess with. If I'm the GM, I do what you suggested with Lamb. Pay Diggs, pay Parsons, let Lamb play out his 5th year option and hit the road. He's got less leverage than the generational talent Parsons is. We can try to replace lamb in 3 years. Much easier than replacing Parsons.
A lot of fans don’t want one player taking up a big percentage of the cap. They would rather opt for a cheaper option, even if it’s a lesser player. They would rather sign two or three players rather than give all that money to one player, even if it’s a great player. You’re not going to have any chance of winning a championship if you void your team of great players.
