The Cowboys need to make a decision on Micah Parsons soon

[KingCorcoran]

Well, let's take a look at this:

And here are the 2027 FAs:

So, even though he's not got a huge amount of cap space left, Garrett does still have 2 years left in his deal, and he doesn't have a "no trade clause" in his deal. Perhaps, combined with a 2nd round pick or two (since we usually waste them anyway), we could throw in some of these options and see if we can get Garrett. Perhaps we can have both Parsons on a new deal AND Garrett for a few seasons? Then, let him walk afterwards and reap the comp pick.

Do you believe Jerry Jones is dynamic enough to accomplish anything close to what you’re suggesting? He drags his feet on getting players signed. He’s not aggressive acquiring extensions for his own players let alone acquiring players from other teams. Some team will work out a deal for Garrett. It won’t be the Cowboys, or the Eagles, and probably not the Commanders. Watch the Rams, however. That team is creatively managed. Hope it’s not the Lions. That team is in poor humor right now. But a team will have to be willing to trade some players in a deal for Garrett.

Oh, I know Jerry wouldn't, I'm just saying what a competent Cowboys GM would do.

Then Micah probably goes to Philly or Washington in 2026 without a trade. So, if they can't make a signing with him before the start of the new league year, then they need to trade him.

Easier to play out the 5th year in 2025.

then tag in 2026.

The team is cap broke.

cant sign big name FAs.

extending Micah will free up around 15M in 2025.

but it depends on when they do the deal.

15M will pay for our draft class.

Bad move, then we definitely lose him when he indicated he'd be willing to take a team friendly deal and sign sooner. If we let him go in FA, I think he goes to a division rival. I think the smarter move is to try to extend him for 4 years, especially since we can free up cap space that way.

We are only at $-2 mil in cap space ATM. We are probably going to June 1 cut Steele, which should give us about $8 mil in cap space. Theoretically, depending on the contract language, you can create more cap space with a deal. So, that may actually play to our advantage.

 

[rambo2]

All the more reason for Jerry to get on with it. Chop chop Jerry!!

That's right it needs to be done this month.

They should have 100 million in cap space flipping the switch on Dak and Lamb and doing the Parsons deal. The Boys are back in town.

Bro get with the program you do nothing until the player holds out then you wait until the last minute then you make him highest paid player in history. Simple stuff.

 

[KingCorcoran]

Sure, which speaks more to the need to sign him as soon as possible to try to get it done and clear up space for some signings we might need to make.

This. 100%

 

[Vtwin]

Parsons already said he would do a deal now.

I'm sure he would sign the right deal right now. I'm pretty sure he isn't giving some early bird discount though.

It's a pretty savvy pr move to put that out there. Now if he doesn't get the right offer and it drags out, the focus will be on Jerry for not getting it done "when he could have gotten him cheaper", instead of on Parsons for being greedy.

 

[atlantacowboy]

No, they don't have to. They can pay him now and then franchise him if need be.

You learned wrong. Garrett is still owed $45 million on his deal. And CLE has supposedly turned down 2 #1s for him in the past. No one with half a brain is giving him a 29 year old a new deal when they've got 3 years of control left. Well, Jerry, Jerry is stupid enough to do that.

Garret's contract is a great deal. He only makes 20M a year. Micah is going to double it.

That's not a great deal for a team with bad cap problems already, especially not when it comes with giving up at least 1 first round pick.

If not this month, by the time free agency opens, chop chop Jerry

Lol, silly me!! Oh, and silly Philly and KC! You can't possibly go to a SB the way I'm thinking lol.

 

[nobody]

I believe what you want but we heard Parson say he's not trying to be the top paid non quarterback you know that whole nonsense like he wants to be the highest paid non quarterback in the league as far as top deals go he wasn't pushing for that therefore top five deal sounds fair so if you give him what third highest defensive end pass rushing linebacker pay he'll probably take it but that could be just talk but we'll find out where their heads are....

I don't think it's a mad rush to try to keep the prices from going up who is the LastPass rushing defensive end to get paid that would be where your numbers would likely start to try to find something fair first offer.

We also heard Dak say he doesn't play for money. How'd that work out? Look at what people do, not what they say. The longer our moron front office takes to sign him, the more it's going to cost them.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Maybe they’ll pull a Luka

Lol, I think Dallas would turn into Philly, and not in a good way, if that happened.

Exactly, and, while the smart and logical thing to do (which 31 other teams would do) would be to get Parsons done asap and have the language free up some cap space, our FO will instead chance the ratings instead of what's smart. Especially since signing Parsons to an extension could free up enough money to get Kinlaw, who knows our new dline coach's system and would result in us getting a position of need (nose tackle) checked off the offseason shopping list.

If we do it sooner, we could get him on a $35 mil per year deal with varying guarantees that free up cap space. Chop chop Jerry, time is money
