The price for Dallas Cowboys star defender is only getting higher

[Rayman70]

The Vikings got Justin Jefferson signed MONTHS before Dallas secured Lamb; who missed all of training camp. The Bengals are notorious for being as bad as the Cowboys when it comes to spending and getting things done.

The reality is NO other team does business like the Cowboys. They dragged their feet with Dak and Lamb and it cost them millions. They are doing the same with Micah because the Max Crosby and Miles Garrett deals getting done first means Parsons will cost WAY more.

Now they are sitting on over $50 million of cap room and are shopping at the free agency clearance rack. The reality is, if the GM of this team was not the owner, he would have been fired not years, but DECADES ago.

They either are waiting on a couple high end players to sign or this was a snooker from the start. If it's the latter, they will roll over the cap money to next year.

Again these are outlier contracts. Most contracts done quickly quietly smoothly.

Its almost always about length of contract.

To me the hold up here is Micah. He ran his mouth said he didn't need 40+ mil. Then sign the offered contract.

But sure blame Jerry for it.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

We might be in the top 5 in the NFL having the most dysfunctional ownership,players,fans. Micah is delusional. Jerry and Stephen being them lol...and all of us likely have developed all sorts of emotional toll from the afore mentioned. Look at the last 30 years. It's like Stockholm Syndrome.

There is an article online now that I cannot sure I can link where Brandin Cooks told it like it is. Says the front office and team is not putting the QB or anyone else in position to win.

Guess we can eliminate Cooks from returning now because he said what fans have known for years.

This team has gone through how many coaches, quarterbacks, offensive and defensive schemes, and key players and contracts since 1996?

Not a single NFC Championship Game appearance since then.

The one constant? Jerry Jones. How any Cowboys fan can excuse him after 29 years and six playoff wins to show for it baffles me.

Micah actually thinks he's a made man. Like he's arrived if you listen to him in interviews or on social media. He's needs challenged! Has anyone ever told him no or confronted him? My guess is all he hears is how awesome he is. So he underachieves. I wouldn't pay him. Let another team do so. Trade him. I just don't like what I'm seeing from him. He should be saying it starts with me, I need to be better. Instead, it's the tail wagging the dog. Players play, owners,GMS put the players on the team. Micah needs to stay in his lane and get better. Then we can talk.

I understand where you're coming from but I don't see that...

first of all he is one of the top defensive players in the league, whether you think he's arrived or not ,his stats support that both the sacks and the pressures one of the best four year starts ever, it's like top five for a rookie enter in the league as a defensive end and his numbers that he's had the first four years..

it stacks up with some of the best ever,

I know it doesn't seem like it, because you say he doesn't have the big moment ,

are you trying to tell me the big moment is like TJ what because he's 0-4 in the playoffs, I think he has one sack.. I mean what has Joey bosa done?

I know we can start with the one who was just cut ,didn't even get a single draft pick for the guy, how could you not trade a guy with that name, Joey bosa ?
that spells sacks, right ? I mean he's one of the better defensive ends in the league; I don't think he's got money stats in the playoff games either 2 sacks in 4 games,

how about miles Garrett how many big moments has he had in the playoffs? in big games? you going tell me that a team that hasn't won a division since 1989 just handed $40 million to their defensive end because he said he wanted to trade he want to be on a team that won, so he's running his mouth about how his team sucks, and they still paid him $40 million.

Mack been in 5 playoff games ,3 sacks.. So this guy doesn't have a lot of signature moments and how many draft picks have some of these teams gave up to get him and then also give him a big deal? So in essence we have a guy like that on our team that you don't have to give up draft picks for that's home grown fan favorite for most of us and all you have to do is give him the same money...

I don't keep up with a lot of other players, but I can tell you this I don't think the premier pass rushers in this league the ones we're talking about with the names and the big contracts have done much, that you're asking persons to prove first...most have not..

I think the key here is in my opinion a lot of these players the ones that are on the best teams that are consistently making it to the playoffs and into the Super bowl they have more opportunities for those moments and a stack up stats like nick bosa but that's because his team look at the defensive line and the the entire defense that they put with him for that run their entire team was great they were all in and he was able to put up better stats but all of them were making similar money so you're asking persons to prove something that none of those other players that just got paid have done themselves you're calling him selfish and that he hasn't earned it and I'm not saying it he's just a new age player that likes his podcast he likes to talk in social media that's just kind of how it works..

I'm not disagreeing that I want our best players to show up in the biggest moments but we haven't had a lot of those moments in the 1st place so the opportunities just weren't there but that doesn't change the market for these players his individual stats say he's earned a big contract and let's hope after he gets paid he still has great numbers and I know they're in different leagues but Bryce huff with the eagles was supposed to be one of the bigger free agents last year got paid about $17 million a year over three years with 34 million guaranteed and he was so bad they didn't put him on the Super bowl roster..​

He's a fraud . He cleans up against mediocre teams and does a disappearing act against good teams. While it's a team sport, he and many fans make these crazy claims like he's done something extraordinary. It's fools gold. I'm pulling for him, but he's not earned the right to be spoken of in elite company. I'm a huge fan of the player. Not a fan of his entitled attitude. He's in no position of power. It's funny he thinks he can ask or tell The team to get him some help. Needs to do his job first.

Jefferson signed in June, Lamb signed in August.

The Vikes front office is amazing and shows you how to get it done......smh

It doesn't seem delusional to me I understand what you're saying but Myles Garrett hasn't done anything in his career but stack individual stats and just got $40 million on a team that hasn't done anything they haven't even won a division since 1989 talk about Stockholm syndrome how about all the teams that have done less at least the Cowboys had a little run recently at 36 wins two division titles and went to the playoffs 5 out of the last eight years I mean I know that's not enough around here but you're not going apples to apples, here,

I mean if miles Garrett can call his team bad and he wants a trade and then they hand a $40 million top paid non quarterback in the league money like he reset the market. And you're saying Micah shouldn't do the same?

by what standard are you using? because Joey boasted didn't do it lot of players out there on teams that are not winning a lot, and they choose to stay there and they also get big contracts, this is not just the Jones family...

At least Parsons said he be willing to not take market he be willing to not try to reset the market I don't know what that means but hopefully in the end we'll find out... I realize he rubs some of y'all the wrong way but don't act like this man in his first four years in the league has done things that maybe only five other players have done up to this point that his position.

I remember seeing the stat last year having double digit sacks the first four years the combination of sacks/pressures, and those players we're talking about in comparison also haven't done anything in big moments.. they haven't even been in moments.. They don't have signature playoff moments they have not in your eyes earned it either ,and yet they got it by your standards they shouldn't have got paid, but they did...

 

[Reid1boys]

Boy he ripped off the band aid.

wow... you mean a player that isnt being brought back now wants to criticize the team? Never seen that before.

First of all he's correct,

how hypocritical is it for you to say that, yet half this board that's all they talk about on a daily basis, that's how the front office doesn't do enough to improve the team around our stars..

that they don't have help on the other side , that you're judging these players because you think the Jones family falls short in the offseason but when he says it he's wrong ? he's the one living it, he's the one that has to go beat up his body, and play,

how is that being delusional, he's 100% correct..

bravo.... Parsons is in ELITE company. Period. If you are gonna draft a guy like him and hit the lottery, and then trade him away because he is going to get elite money... whats the point of worrying about if your players are good or crap.

Its mind boggling to me how we hit gold with Lamb and Micah and we hear people in here saying we should trade them for picks.....smh.

 

[blueblood70]

It isnt getting higher. It was already at 40 million before Myles signed his deal in Cleveland. Now it is just a matter of seeing if Micah is going to do what he said, and not demand to be the highest paid. Thats IT. None of this other stuff matters in regard to Micah, no matter how bad you want to yell at our front office.

Kind of like Mahomes. Mahomes can do anything he wants in regard to his contract. What qb x,y,and z do makes zero difference with him.

how is that being delusional, he's 100% correct..

when the team's offense designs the game plan to ensure they keep one player from wrecking you...... you cant then say the player has done nothing in big games. If you are doubled on damn near every play, youve created holes somewhere else, and its up to others to come through those holes.

Would like to see a player be a leader on and off the field. Guess I'm tired of the entitled crap. He's just not it. He's not a made man by any means. Not yet. Btw, yes we need better players to help him. Facts. But he's also part of the problem. It's all of it.

What because they acted six weeks earlier they paid more I know it doesn't seem like much but the Cowboys in a way won because they didn't pay more than Jefferson or the same as Jefferson they paid less than Jefferson nobody's trying to stick up for the front office but you guys act like they had a choice... What do you mean no other team does this there are other teams that had had to dealt with holdouts besides the Bengals and the Cowboys I mean literally players screaming for trees and then getting paid $40 million and hadn't done a single thing yeah miles Garrett doesn't have a signature moment the Cleveland Browns haven't even won a division since 1989 they didn't restructure his contract two years ago or last year now they're paying $40 million how is that smart business it sounds like that's just how it works...

So all those smart moves that the San Francisco 49ers made and I get it they've done more in the playoffs than us they've made a couple Super Bowl appearances but they haven't won a Super Bowl for as long as we have maybe one year longer and now they're dismantling their team all these smart moves that they made they can't afford to players anymore and yet they didn't get their trophy that was supposed to be the whole point of leveraging your all in philosophy and then you have to eventually pay the piper you're hoping at least you get the trophy..

The Cowboys are not the only team and neither are the Bengals that have to deal with players who threaten holdouts or force trades because they wanna get paid more. All teams are not come super early the table and get super deals because the market wouldn't be what it is if it was just the Cowboys and Bengals setting it.

No one makes him play sports. He went to college. He can cry me a river.

Yes we both know this,

but apparently some others feel like even when they're doubled or tripled or when teams decide they're just going to run at you all game and have most of their blockers pushing you out of the way, that they're supposed to get through that..

the same thing with our quarterback I mean everyone wants to RIP him and I'm not making excuses for Prescott or Romo but when their guys are not getting open, we don't have a run game, the offensive lines not blocking well or getting 11 penalties, and when your coaches are not adjusting in games , Ds giving up 30+, or having good game plans they're being out coached on the other side almost every game..

they're just going to blame the player, they're going to say he didn't deserve the money, but the markets been set for these players and you either have to pay them or let them go...

I don't get it,

look I can see both sides of the argument ,

but some people just aren't Bing logical here like, I just gave Rayman over there so much data to support the fact that Parsons should get paid because others like him also have no big moments at the same position are making more money than him, some of the biggest names in the NFL at defensive end have no signature wins in the playoffs, and yet they got paid..

I realize he rubs people wrong but this is the social media culture and we are in a new world here and they're taking every advantage as a player to leverage themselves into the media and get the fans on their side typically and then others rub the people the wrong way apparently Parsons has made enemies...

He it sure will go a long way if he steps up and just takes like 38.5 million and maybe he'll win some fans back lol I know this there was a huge difference for those games he missed last year and immediately when he came back all of a sudden the defense looked completely different so if he doesn't make an impact I don't know how others haven't seen that but him paired with overshone made this a completely different defense.. Those would be the two you would hope would be healthy for the entire season and they would wreck teams but it doesn't happen we can't even keep our corners on the field at the same time I mean we're just having a lot of bad luck with injuries..

 

[blueblood70]

No one makes him play sports. He went to college. He can cry me a river.

But I'll take his word over yours,

you get you're not part of this, that he is more part of the process in the NFL as a player, and in the business, he has a right to ask for help...

so they can be more successful, you're saying he doesn't have a choice ,but you have a choice of whether you follow the team, but you still follow the team even though you don't like much about it anymore...

I'm just saying you're a hypocrite,​

​

most people around here saying our front office doesn't do enough to support our stars and to make our roster better so we can go further but when he asks for it then he's just being selfish..​

​

that makes no sense to me... Like I said is it miles Garrett who we're talking about right now just got $40 million he has no signature moments he's not doing anything by your standard except putting up regular season stats.​

​

the man's not winning games on his own as a matter of fact didn't, he just get blocked by a rookie, it's probably Guyton's best game that year ,was game one and he did a pretty good job against MG!!​

Garrett cries, he says I don't like the team, the direction, I want to win more, I want out, and then he stays for $40 million, how is that any different from Parsons?

I believe most fans agree with you and I'm one of them if we could change that and make the players earn all this money across all sports that when they're handing these contracts they're playing their best and they continue playing their best but that's not the reality I see it in baseball in basketball in the NFL this is not just Parsons this is just the business superstars are getting paid super money and they don't always appear to be earning it but when you set markets that's just what happens.

If teams want to put a product on the field that gets fans in the seats and supports the leagues, this is what you have to pay to get that done....

https://insidethestar.com/the-price-for-dallas-cowboys-star-defender-is-only-getting-higher

Micah Parsons was eligible for a contract extension last offseason, but he and the Dallas Cowboys couldn’t come to an agreement, and Parsons sat back and did not draw much attention. We saw them get the deals done with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, waiting until the last possible moment to do so, in turn made them pay way to much for Dak, and probably more than they wanted to for Lamb at the time.

Here we go again with the front office of the Dallas Cowboys waiting forever to pay Micah. and doing so made his price even higher. Myles Garrett signed on Sunday with the Cleveland Browns, the biggest non-QB money in the history of the league. Only problem for Dallas: The highest-paid defensive end dollar figure has risen substantially in the last calendar year. Last summer, San Francisco’s Nick Bosa earned $34 million per year. Maybe the Cowboys could’ve signed Parsons for a few million more. Now, Maxx Crosby reset the market last week before Garrett leapfrogged him. Garrett’s deal is expected to pay him $40 million per year, and it has a record $123.5 million guaranteed.

The way this front office operates is so frustrating. Time and time again, they cost themselves money, and they seem not to even care, yet they won’t get deals done and sign outside free agents at other needy spots. This is typical Jones. He allows other players to set the market and drive the value up for his players. Therefore, Jones has to pay more money, which detracts from the salary cap for other players. Not did they let the price for their best defender go through the roof, they cleared all that cap space and can’t even resign any of their other guys that have been homegrown. The Cowboys lost Jourdan Lewis and Chauncey Golston, two big-time players, for the defense a year ago, and they have only signed former Jets DT Solomon Thomas has agreed to a two-year deal worth up to $8M.

_________________________

This falls back on Stephen. Man, this falls back on your team. You are guarding team money instead of just using the cap funds to allow the coaching staff to maximize their team play. Your staff and coaches are keeping up with need and damn sure on the best for the Cowboys.

They are on top of their jobs.

That cap is not the franchises income. It is your team's life line. Your stars are the roster's live line. Don't dramatize spending, build one's team as strong as it can be. This is sports not protection of Holywood.

This signing is important to this team. Get it done...do YOUR job. Don't bast in the drama. Fix the damn team. If you need drama, take the family to a movie.

Your dragging feet cost that team two good players already!

GO COWBOYS!

Star defender? lmao. If that is what a star defender is to you, then good luck with that!
