News: [PFT]: I think if I had $40 million, I'd be the happiest man alive. - Micah Parsons

[rambo2]

Today's players are all about how much money they can get away with. I'm done supporting today's greedy players. Trade them, Jerry, while you can get a bunch of draft picks for them.

You need to strap it up and get out there on the field and see what it's like.

I did it during my days. What about you, Rambo?

When he said the difference between 30m$ and 40m$ didn’t matter, I bought it

“the difference between 30m$ and 40m$ didn’t matter”

I get it. We hate our own players. The more individualistic they are, the more we hate them.

The more ”flamboyant”, the more we hate them.

Guess what.

The “fans” who hate anyone who isn’t Bob Lilly, who I revere, are a dying breed.

Dallas isn’t 1970.

How is 13 sacks per season worth 40 million a year?

Because in Dallas anything above average is treated as extraordinary.

“To me it's all about the foundation of the team. How can I create the best foundation and play with the guys who've helped me create a lot of success? Those guys helped me get to where I am. It's all about the aggressiveness, how we look at free agency. You see a lot of times, the highest-paid player, and we see they don't have weapons. I'd rather just be in the best situation. At that point, I don't think there's a big difference between $30 and $40 million."

He is one of the top pressure players in the NFL, disrupting the offense, forcing double-teams and making the QB get rid of the ball faster. He's worth what top pass rushers get paid.

I WISH I COULD oh my gosh oh my gosh!!!!! Exactly!! Post of the year!!!

Because he's a generational talent, not someone that takes over games, gets a turnover when it's needed etc etc, but 13 sacks not 17+ , he's not a game changer, people hype him up because of what he's done in his rookie season and now he's all world. I think there's better DEs than him by far, his perception is getting him this big deal, I don't see him getting over 13 sacks at all

Why does anyone ever believe it when these guys say they will sign for less? They never sign for less

And Parson's agent, whoever he is, will play Jerry like a fiddle.

Is your issue with the money or the production?

If it’s the money, then hop into your delorean and go back in time to the 70’s. (My guess is that is your steady state).

If it’s production, then only two players have had more sacks than his 14 and the 14.5 that he will pass, for sure, is Lawrence, at 14.5, who you people slag on forever as being a leader of the “hot boyz”, which is a dog whistle if I’ve ever heard one.

Anyway, not Lilly, not White, not Jones, Haley, Martin, Tolbert or Jeffcoat. None of them have produced like Micah.

My guess is that it’s just chalked up to old man syndrome.

I should know. I saw (and remember) the 76 and 78 Super Bowl. But I also am able to grow.

I honestly think the fandom needs a reboot that is only achievable through time. I’m an exception, not the norm.

 

[Risen Star]

How is 13 sacks per season worth 40 million a year?

Probably because 3.5 sacks and terrible run defense per season is apparently worth 20 million a year.

 

[jazzcat22]

Why is an Eagle fan posting this? Slow on the Eagles board?

At least it is not a negative post by one of our own.

And out of gas by the 15th game. Nothing left should they even make the playoffs.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

Ya, I'm out at $40m. If he was saying nice things to the media with no intention of following through, we need to trade him. The Bears gave two 1's for Khalil Mack. If somebody's willing to make a similar offer with a top 10 pick this year, I'd be all over it.

 

[diamonddelts]

Micah can't stop a nosebleed, let alone the run. Sign him Jerry. Then your final journey to the dark side will be COMPLETE.

 

[EPL0c0]

Garrett: $40M/yr
Crosby: $35M/yr
Bosa: $34M/yr
Watt: $28M/yr
Hunter: $24.5M/yr

I'd put Micah somewhere between Hunter & Watt at the highest.

If he wants $40M/yr, I'd say trade him (nobody would take him if that's the kind of money he wants)

 

[phildadon86]

Any of us would do the same if we could. Always easy to criticize another man's money. Jerry wants to wait, screw him. Make him pay.

Exactly.

Jerry and his idiot son should have had this as priority number one this offseason if that’s the route that they were going.

They would rather be in the news than run the football team properly. I mean. I think they could have held off on signing Javonte Williams to get a deal done with Micah, I know there were teams beating down the door for Campbell and Jones but maybe hold off on those and sign Micah.

Parsons is doing what he needs to do, it’s called negotiating.

Micah was the top rated LB out of college against the run.

This team has been wildly misusing him pitting him against the teams LT and RT consistently. If they would wake up and play him at MLB and utilize his speed, we would have Roquan Smith on the team. Instead. They put him at DE and he gets washed out by tackles and by week 10 he’s dead to rights.

Blame the coaching staff and FO not the player.
