The Cowboys need to make a decision on Micah Parsons soon

I imagine the Micah decision has already been made. Honestly if they really wanted to move on from the guy last offseason was the time to do it. A premier pass rusher that still had a cheap year of rookie control in addition to his 5th year option? He would have brought back QB value on the trade market. This year where a team is going to have to give up something in a trade and likely make him the top defensive player of all time? Its a harder trade pitch unless you're willing to take less back in the trade.

Right or wrong, that decision is already made. Jerry will sign Parsons to a top of the market deal....no question about it. There's no way we are trading for Garrett or any other high priced DE. The team will go with Parsons, Kneeland, Williams, hopefully resign Golston to a moderate deal, and then do what they've been doing with veteran pass rush depth.

I don't expect or even really care about Dallas signing A-list free agents like DE Garrett or WR Higgins. I don't think we are that player away from greatness; it's much worse. However, I want to see Dallas be a little more active with B-list veteran free agents, maybe sign a LB, a DT, a backup QB, maybe a CB. We need to be freed up in the draft to take the impact players who available on the first two days of the draft at WR, RB, DT.

No doubt, but I think we could be using freed up cap space to get someone like a Kinlaw (NT Jets) or a guard. They wouldn't command much cap space, but they'd fill some key needs before the draft.

So you trade him to Jacksonville as a rental. Why would they be interested in trading?

Why wouldn't they if they can afford to pay him? Why would he be a rental. Normally the condition on these trades is the player agrees to an extension.
 
Barnum and Bailey have made their minds up when it comes to Parsons. I believe they are going to re-sign him to a monster deal.

The problem is these guys are likely to string it along until the last minute. They will leak negative things about Micah. They will use their usual quotes about the "pie", "managing the cap", "the cap is real", and then sign him to the biggest contract a defensive player has ever signed.

All done post draft. So, no 2025 trade value nor free agency cap space. Smh

In what is still the immediate aftermath of the ridiculous Wilson trade, no team is trading valuable draft capital for a $30 million per season player without getting draft capital in return. Dallas can’t get anything close to what they have in Parsons in any trade. He’ll be signed at some point. Obviously, the sooner the better.

How's the time but we've seen how they operate. Then they'll say they had no choice but to cave to the agents demands.

Oh no doubt, I'm just saying what a smart GM would do lol. Either keeping him or trading him, a smart GM would have it ready and done by the start of the league year.

Why would he want to play in Jacksonville, for a poor team?

Parsons cap hit next year is nothing compared to Daks. As it stands right now, Dak is set to count 90M against the 2025 cap.

So what?

We are talking about Parsons. And if the Cowboys are serious about being more active in FA, they need to create space and an easy way to do that is sign Parsons now to a long term deal. Dak's deal is what his deal is. They are likely going to restructure him anyway.

But Parsons is the one that signals how serious this franchise is. They purposely signed Lamb and Dak later because they didn't care about getting cap savings for FA. If they drag their feet on Parsons, it's a sure sign they plan on doing zero in FA again.

They are cap broke.

Dak, Martin, the void contracts, Steele, Gallup, CD, and Micah.

all very expensive.

They are not.

They choose to pretend they are.

Philly has big contracts, they have massive amounts of void years, etc. And yet they seem to always have cap space and structure deals in a way to give them maximum flexibility.

The Cowboys do not and I suspect there is a method to their madness.
 
Jerry is so stupid! People wouldn't even be worried about Parsons contract if Dak wasn't getting paid so much. Parsons deserves 30 mil a year for 5 years. But due to the albatross contract Dak was given now people don't want to sign Parsons. He is the best player hands down on the team.
I hope Parsons gets the heck out of this dysfunctional cesspool of a team.

The team can't do much , let alone sign Parsons and hit the free agency market, without reworking Daks contract. He's taking up 33% of the cap.

Because he’s on one now, so it makes no difference.

The discussion is, that the Jags wouldnt trade for Micah, unless they get him to extend, or they're just wasting draft capital as a rental. Unless Parsons has an overwhelming need to play in Jacksonville, and he thinks they can offer him more than he'd get on the fa market, why would he sign an extension?

Do you believe Parsons will play this season without an extension? For Dallas, Jacksonville, or any team?

Im sure he'll do better hitting FA.

You are way too hung up on which team he could go-to. Jacksonville is an example not a prediction. It's a hypothetical that will never happen because these clowns don't know how to deal anyway. Which is what me and Rusty had both said.

Well we all know what could happen. Just your suggestion is a no go on so many levels. The problem with trading him now would probably be that the most eager teams would be the ones in win-now mode. By the very nature they'd be back-end of the draft, which will diminish the return. Then again, if we're trading Micah, we're mailing in 2025 (due to his very influence on the rest of the front 7 and opponents Offense) and could probably afford to spread out the draft capital (not all in the thin 2025 with its thin 1st Rd).
 
I see a Myles Garret situation happening. Micah signs a 4 or 5 year monster contract extension, performs great and the team goes 9 and 8 for 2 straight years and misses out on the playoffs. Dak performs OK, but no near what he is being paid to perform.

Micah sees more then half his career is over and decides he really wants a ring because he is stinking rich, making money on podcasts etc etc. However his career in not complete without a ring. He thus announces he wants to be traded with 2 years left on his contract.

What am I missing folks? These tea leaves are super easy to read. The Jerry Jones game plan never changes. About as creative as a slice of stale Wonder bread.
