Stephen on Micah's comments about a new team friendly contract

[Risen Star]

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones on @1053thefan on Micah Parsons’ recent comments about not needing to be the NFL’s highest-paid defensive player and wanting to work with the Cowboys to keep as many free agents as possible:

“If you can get ahead of (these big contracts), you want to get ahead of them. Hats off to Micah. I’ve seen some of the comments that he’s made. (He’s) had conversations with Jerry (Jones) and I. That’s what we want. We want guys who want to be here.”

The Cowboys front office is hilarious.

saying is one thing, but actually doing it is another

ill believe it when i see it

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Stephen talks about Jerry (as he calls him) more like a business partner than a dad.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Thanks for the valuable insight Stephen.

 

[Aven8]

So what’s he saying is Dak is a greedy guy

He really wants to say Micah is lying to you and will be the highest paid defensive player ever.

 

[Cowboys93]

Sounds like greedy Dak is being thrown under the bus.

Keep it coming.............

The Cowboys front office is hilarious.

They say one thing and do another.
They sure were not ahead of CDs or Daks contract extentions.
I will keep saying this:
Until we get a real professional GM, this team is never going to taste post season success.
The last 29 years bear that out.

 

[Carson]

The jones boy have never seen a bargain they don’t like!

 

[nightrain]

Get ahead of big contracts? When! The only thing you got your head in is your caboose.

 

[ShiningStar]

only one thing to know,

did he fire his agent?

 

[Ranching]

Hilarious around here! Have a great weekend.....if you can bring yourself to enjoy it, don't pull a muscle.

Some guys “want” to play for the Cowboys. Others have to be paid more than any other team will pay them. If Jones didn’t run the team so poorly and players thought they had a chance to be part of something great perhaps they’d be more willing to negotiate mutually beneficial deals.

As it is players, the NFLPA, agents and coaches know the Dallas Cowboys are a sink hole NFL franchise.

 

[Coogiguy03]

THEY WERE SO far ahead, that they complained about paying too much, but delayed and paid more!!

 

[Plankton]

Juan Soto's contract will be the starting point for these negotiations.

- Stephen Jones

 

[DandyDon52]

parsons should only take less, if he gets to spend the $ saved in FA himself.
Cant trust the jones boys to do it or get the right player.

In Stephen's defense, I worked as an optician for my dad (optometrist) for 10 years. I called him by his name. It's unprofessional to address him as "dad". It was also a work relationship outside of our normal relationship. Screw Stephen, though.

Micah has discovered he has more say over the positions he plays then the defensive coordinator does, and Jerry will make sure that stays the same.
